    32.4 Balbirnie falls in the bid to accelerate. He connected with the slog sweep last ball but the bottom hand came off the bat upon impact this time. Ball went low to deep midwicket, who ran in a bit to complete a simple catch. Was a full, darted ball outside off that was dragged across with a full-torso twirl again. But the timing was off. 128/3
    6.6 Stirling pays the price for looking to make a play. Looks at the width and looks to slap it over cover. The length ball jumps up to find the splice. It loops straight to cover, taken around chest-height. Ngarava has a jig in celebration. Big early wicket 17/1
    13.3 Softie... lobbed pull to short midwicket Shortish ball around shoulder-height rushed into Campher, who committed for a hard pull. Ball took the splice and the fielder moved to the diagonal right, slid low to take the catch 42/2
    38.4 Fifty and out for Tector. Like Balbirnie, he fails to make up and finishes with a strike rate of 60. He took five risks in five balls this over, one took him to fifty, the next one has him top edge a pull to midwicket. Short one was angling away sharply, approaching a fourth-stump line. The height was around top-of-shoulder. Tector both dragged and muscled it, there was a swivel too but he was hurried and his direction was off. Easy catch at midwicket, Ngarava brings out the pump-it celebration again. 159/4
    49.1 Cleaned him up, and uprooted the off stump! Fuller length in the slot on the stumps, throws his bat at it, wild swing of the bat, tried to dispatch it over the on-side, goes across the line and missed the line of the ball, goes through bat-pad and the bails are flying! Muzarabani gives Tucker a thumbs-up after bowling him out. 230/6
    40.3 Nicked through to Marumani! Hard length ball pitching on middle-off, held on the pitch, strides forward and premeditates the front foot drive shot, beaten by the extra bounce off the pitch and finds the thick outside edge of the bat, Marumani makes no mistake behind the stumps! 173/5
