- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 Caught at long on! Bethell goes fuller, Salt goes after it but completely scuffs the launch and watches on as it nestles into Duckett's hands about 15 yards in from the sponge 39/23.5 Bowled him! On with the arm, sharp enough at 58mph to skid on and hit just over halfway up off stump. McKinney was going back to that one... and now he's headed back to the dugout 29/16.3 Big LBW appeal as Buttler is across his stumps paddling... this looks good but umpire Middlebrook says not out... Livingstone sends it upstairs and it's gone! Buttler had actually aborted the leg bye assuming it had been given when it hadn't... clattering into middle and leg... stone dead... in fact, Middlebrook was twitching to give that before deciding against it! 43/310.2 Caught cover! Easy as you like, excellent from Livingstone, getting that right up there and taking the leading edge of Ravindra's bat as he tried to work to leg 58/418.3 Launched in the air... and nestling down into the hands of Dan Mousley at three-quarters long on! Smart stuff from Wood, slowing up and offering something to go at, Klaasen snatched at it, really, but what else could he do? 102/615.4 Gone! Hurst loses his nerve, makes room, tries to blaze and totally misreads the line and the length. Leg stump rocked back 85/519.4 Nails the front boot! Hartley had moved across again, Wood, pace on, just goes full and straight and gets a deserved wicket 105/7Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL109/7 (20 Overs, RR: 5.45 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Ben McKinney, 3.5 ov), 2-39 (Phil Salt, 5.4 ov), 3-43 (Jos Buttler, 6.3 ov), 4-58 (Rachin Ravindra, 10.2 ov), 5-85 (Matty Hurst, 15.4 ov), 6-102 (Heinrich Klaasen, 18.3 ov), 7-105 (Tom Hartley, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 Revenge! Smeed tries the same again, but it's a cross-seam delivery that takes off a little more from that full length, taking the edge through to Buttler as Smeed loses his shape 19/112.4 Gone! Clarke attempts to ramp over the keeper, ends up having to readjust to push that beyond the keeper as Tongue goes wide of off as a reaction... and ends up getting a snick through off the edge! Very odd but Clarke goes for a match-winning 40... 91/214.2 Taken this time! Another duffed hoik across the line, high up again... but grabbed well by Hurst who was circling at deep midwicket 97/3Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL113/3 (16.3 Overs, RR: 6.8 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Will Smeed, 3.4 ov), 2-91 (Joe Clarke, 12.4 ov), 3-97 (Liam Livingstone, 14.2 ov)
