    8.1 wicket first ball even though it wasn't a great ball. Moved across to a low full toss on off, and got a top edge while trying to sweep, hit it straight to short fine leg. 70/2

    4.3 you miss, I hit. Clarke has been giving himself room, this time once again leaves all three stumps exposed to try and get a free swing of the bat. Went for an almighty swipe, the ball dipped and skid, he misses it and the stumps are broken. The offside field was packed, which made Clarke target the legside, but the bowler won that. 33/1

    13.5 he's chopped on. Back of a length on the stumps, he was loooking to steer it to third man with a horizontal bat, having made some room. Gets an under-edge that goes onto the stumps. Munro is distraught with that dismissal but he'll have to go 98/7
    8.3 stone dead in front. Wrong 'un that he completely mis-read. Oh he's gone for a review. Unless he got an edge, I think he'll be gone. Pitched just outside off, not full enough to sweep, which is the shot he was going for, spins past the bat and hits him on the right shoulder - that's how low he had got trying to sweep - in front of the stumps. We're waiting for ball tracking to show up, seems to be a technical problem with it loading. Ball tracking loads, and it's hitting the stumps. Ackermann on his way and Rashid has two wickets in three balls. 70/3
    9.4 caught at long-on. Another cutter with pace off, and he played a bit of a half-hearted chip at it, didn't time it well, and it scooped to long-on. Rashid the fielder, so he's involved in the wickets even when he's not bowling. Had to run in and take it low, did it really well. 74/4
    10.1 yorked him. Rashid bowls a quicker one and Brathwaite is caught leaden-footed, stuck on the crease, as it sneaks under and shatters stumps. Add the yorker to one of the variations that Rashid can bowl then. 75/5
    13.3 brilliant fielding at mid-off by Gregory. back of a length on the stumps at 87 mph, he is late on the pull, and hits it straight to mid-off. They take off for the single but a brilliant pick-up and direct hit means the batsman is caught well short. 92/6

    17.5 slower ball yorker, has a big swipe at it, swirls in the air for a long time and Rashid Khan runs in from deep square leg to hold on to it really well. You just can't keep Rashid out of the game. He seems to signal he lost it in the lights, but he still held it, palms cupped upwards. 124/8

    7.2 foxed him. Saw him coming down the track, shortend his length and bowled it a mite quicker, got it to dip and pitch at the right length in front of Hales and break away for the keeper to whip off the bails. Replays show he nicked it as well, so he's out caught behind as well as stumped - take your pick. 50/1
    17.5 straight up in the air and caught at mid-off. Not short enough to pull, he goes for it by going deep in his crease, back of a length ball outside off, he can't get hold of it, top edge balloons up and is gobbled up by Brathwaite. 124/3
    10.1 steepling top edge caught at mid-on. Good catch by Clarke running in from long-on. Tossed up wide of off, and he went for the big sweep, couldn't reach it, came off the end of the bat, went really high in the air, but enough time for the fielder to run in and grab it. 74/2
