- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.4 Caught-behind appeal not given. Spirit review. Salt went for the pull, tried to pull out of the shot late. So his bat started zagging up as the back-of-length ball that was just outside off leapt up and closed in. It looks close on replay. What does Ultra-Edge have? A spike is what it has and the crowd go 'ooo.' Decision overturned. 44/112.5 Knuckle-ball yorker knocks over Buttler. Just 57mph but inches in front of the popping crease. Buttler was in his crease, had to be with the keeper up, and tried to drill it down the ground. Ball came in and went through the block hole to hit middle and off and end Buttler's 62 117/410.5 Dances and misses the heave, keeper stumps him quickly. Legbreak on a back of length went away with the angle, Holden swung himself almost off his feet. The trajectory of the ball was flat and went below the bat. Good mop-up work by Rossington to end the 67-run stand. 111/211.4 Down the track, beaten on the inside edge to rattle the stumps. Dawson's 61mph dart on a back of length skidded in, Evans was down the crease and tried to drive it through on the last second but was too late. A good 5-ball period helps Spirit peg things back a bit 113/313.5 Slices to backward point and Bopara's turning this game on its head! Short ball from around the wicket, it's just outside off. Walter tries dragging it across with a powerful pull. The top edge balloons right up and Wade takes a dolly to his right. 126/5Extras10 (nb 4, w 6)TOTAL138/5 (16 Overs, RR: 8.62 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-44 (Phil Salt, 4.4 ov), 2-111 (Max Holden, 10.5 ov), 3-113 (Laurie Evans, 11.4 ov), 4-117 (Jos Buttler, 12.5 ov), 5-126 (Paul Walter, 13.5 ov)
