- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 Milne holds on! Root slices this length ball high up while trying to hammer it over midwicket. Milne calls for the catch, turns around, runs to his left and then grabs onto it 36/23.4 he's been living dangerously and this time he chops on. Short ball, but slow as well, and Hales drags this 73mph ball onto the stumps while attempting the pull 30/18.2 full ball just outside off. Smartly lofted with the turn but he doesn't have the power to clear long on! Straight down long-on's throat and TKC is gone! 57/313.1 the fast bowlers combine! Short and wide. Hain tries to slap it high over point but the uppercut is grabbed by Kane Richardson at deep point. He runs to his left and leaps sideways to take that beauty 105/414.4 length ball angling across. Ends up slicing the shot to cover running to his right for a catch 117/517.5 the extra ball in the set gets the wicket! Short ball angling in. In Sams' range to pull in front of square but the connection is just not there.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 short ball angling into him. Pull is gloved leg side and they scurry across for one, but it is a dangerous run! Because the wicketkeeper runs forward, grabs the ball and throws it over-arm at the bowler's end. Direct hit and the dive can't save Smeed 17/12.5 too cheeky... pays the price. Full just outside off. Duckett moves off side too to try and ramp it over short fine. But the shot hasn't come off well, and Carter can actually run to his left to take a sharp catch and get the second wicket 19/211.2 that's pinged him right in front. Umpire says out but Smith reviews. This was darted into his toes, landing just around leg stump, and Smith misses the flick. Hits him now on the toe, and now the TV umpire will reveal what happened. Yes, crashing in. Smith falls for 38 72/49.3 shouts of 'catch it' again, and this time Root at short third gets under this dipping ball. Another flighted ball outside off. Turning away and Livingstone tries to carve it over cover. Slices it, and Root takes a tricky one 66/313.4 short ball outside off. Pulled to wide long on and this is straight to the fielder, Joe Root! Root is a few metres inside the line and leaps up to his left. Ends up taking a two hander before crashing down onto the floor. Crowd roaring! 86/514.4 off stump rattled! Gets a length ball to angle across from leg stump to off. Benjamin made room to cut, but he misses and Carter is very accurate line wise 90/616.5 sliced to cover. Too easy. Full outside off and in the slot to be punished, but the shot had very little power 100/718.1 middle stump pegged back. Change-up ball, full on middle. You-miss-I-hit stuff with Milne searching for a shot over cover 109/819.1 full ball on middle. Goes for a slog sweep over midwicket but the shot is mistimed. Ball goes high up and Cook runs in to take a diving catch around midwicket. The umpires want to see if the catch has been completed because the ball had rolled up Cook's arm. 113/9Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL116/9 (20 Overs, RR: 5.8 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Will Smeed, 2.2 ov), 2-19 (Ben Duckett, 2.5 ov), 3-66 (Liam Livingstone, 9.3 ov), 4-72 (Jamie Smith, 11.2 ov), 5-86 (Moeen Ali, 13.4 ov), 6-90 (Chris Benjamin, 14.4 ov), 7-100 (Benny Howell, 16.5 ov), 8-109 (Adam Milne, 18.1 ov), 9-113 (Kane Richardson, 19.1 ov)
