- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 looks to reverse, bowled through the legs! Potts breaks through (and lands the first blow of the phoney Ashes!) Think it was inside edge and maybe pad, then into the stumps. Smith looking to get his funk on, instead he has to funk off to the dugout 62/18.4 but then he slogs down the throat of long-on! Rashid tosses up the bait and YJB swallows it, hook, line and sinker. Went for the big bosh downtown but ends up picking out Crawley for a comfortable catch on the rope 78/37.3 nicked behind first ball! Hard length, draws Wells into a push as the ball leaves him on the angle. Thick outside edge and Pepper swallows it. Wells falls for a golden duck and Potts is on a hat-trick 62/212.2 Two batters at the same end! Abell had banked on two again, this time Crawley roared in off the boundary at long-on and fired the throw to the keeper's end. TKC had already decided there wasn't a second on, but Abell was almost next to him by the point he realised 99/413.3 TKC drags on! Full in the channel, he goes back and across sets himself for a thrash over the covers... only to hear the death rattle behind him! Thick inside edge and the ball cannons into his stumps. Fire continuing to fizzle out 102/517.3 carved high over the off side, Brook grabs a speccy! Not out of the middle from Zaib but it was always dropping and fading away from the Superchargers captain as he ran to his right from mid-off. Brilliantly held diving full length 132/716.4 another googly, dragged down... but Walter mishits it straight to long-off! Rocking back as the ball spun away from him and he doesn't get enough of the shot. Went high but doesn't have the legs, a swirling catch but Crawley takes it well 125/618.2 honked down the throat of deep midwicket! Green gets under his slog across the line but doesn't have enough juice on it to clear the man. Easy take a yard or two in off the rope. Fire burned brightly but are in danger of spluttering out with the finish line in sight 133/917.5 wide on the crease and speared into the woodwork! Payne doesn't bother trying to keep it out, just heaves for the hills and misses completely. Imad makes a mess of the stumps, picking up a second wicket of the night off his final ball 133/8Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL143/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.15 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-62 (Steven Smith, 7.2 ov), 2-62 (Luke Wells, 7.3 ov), 3-78 (Jonny Bairstow, 8.4 ov), 4-99 (Tom Abell, 12.2 ov), 5-102 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 13.3 ov), 6-125 (Paul Walter, 16.4 ov), 7-132 (Saif Zaib, 17.3 ov), 8-133 (David Payne, 17.5 ov), 9-133 (Chris Green, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.2 Tight to the stumps, slower delivery, 72mph... caught at short third! Smart from Meredith, deceives Malan with the lack of pace, through the shot early and the left-hander departs 91/112.2 Mid-crease this time, dead straight, into the pads, given! Pepper reviews... in vain. Predicted to clatter leg stump out of the ground. So ends a pretty torturous innings 100/2Extras10 (lb 3, w 7)TOTAL147/2 (17.4 Overs, RR: 8.25 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-91 (Dawid Malan, 10.2 ov), 2-100 (Michael Pepper, 12.2 ov)
