    1.1 full outside off, top-edged sweep flies straight to short fine leg! Hosein strikes first-ball for his new team. Full, fast, flat. Smeed looks to drag it across to the leg side but makes a mess of it, and Cook takes a simple catch 3/2
    0.4 cleans him up! Duckett shuffles across, shaping to scoop, but it's you miss, I hit. Middle stump is pegged back, and Willey roars in celebration after knocking over his old Northants team-mate 1/1
    3.2 full, straight, pinned lbw. Donald opts to review... Nope, he's run out of time! Off he goes. Tails in late to strike him on the pad, and up went the finger. It looked out live... and Hawk-Eye confirms as much 12/3
    16.4 Clarke's misery comes to an end! Slower-ball bouncer from Ferguson, which Clarke tries to flat-bat down the ground. But he makes a mess of it, and Ferguson does well to regain his composure and take the catch 90/6
    5.5 superb work from Cook off his own bowling! Yorker, jammed out into the leg side. Bethell was halfway down the pitch looking to pinch a single but was sent back. Cook raced after it, sliding to pick it up, and flinging down the stumps with Bethell not in the frame! 26/4
    16.1 wide on the crease, Livingstone looks to launch him over mid-off... Holden takes an excellent high catch! Slower ball, wide outside off stump. Livingstone clears the front leg and looks to drive through with his back hip but it skews away towards deep cover, and Holden falls onto his back while completing the catch 89/5

    11.3 drops short, picks out Mousley! Dragged down, inviting the big shot, but Banton's pull is straight down midwicket's throat 87/3
    3.4 knocks him over! England's bowling coach gets England's best batter! Keeping it simple, looking to hit the top of the stumps. Angling in, tips away just a touch as Root looks to swing him over midwicket, and pings into the top of off 26/1
    9.4 width outside off, picks out deep cover! Howell puts the brakes on, as he so often has for the Phoenix. Sits up nicely for Rehan to throw his hands, but he launches it straight down Mousley's throat 77/2

    14.2 short outside off, straight up the chimney! Mousley does well, running in from square leg and sliding underneath it. Stoinis trudges off after a brief cameo. Looking to exploit the short leg-side boundary but gets a fat top edge 113/4
