    8.2 Chopped on! A top-spinner but dragged down and keeping low, Smeed has a thrash and ends up inside-edging down at the toe onto his off stump 59/3
    4.1 Short again, on target, scuffed to Rehan at midwicket! Easy as you like, decent licks from Ferguson, high on the bat and no dice for Duckett 36/1
    5.3 Skied... and caught by Max Holden at deep midwicket! Easy as you like, Clarke going for the slog sweep to that short side but gets more edge on it than middle 42/2
    11.3 The skipper goes! An ugly heave to the leg side misses completely, as Linde skips one on with the arm to clatter into the furniture 65/5
    8.5 Reversed to backward point! That's a poor shot from Bethell, clearly shaken by the previous two deliveries, put himself under unnecessary pressure and ends up fluffing to the fielder. Bethell is on his haunches lamenting that shot but he's got to go for a three-ball duck 59/4
    19.5 The low full toss finally pays dividends! This time Mousley attempts to hack to leg, ends up with a top edge that, eventually, lands into the hands of Holden. It's the Middlesex man's third catch of the innings. Phoenix have been kept to 111 for 9! 111/9
    13.2 Slapped to deep midwicket! Struck well, very flat, but straight to Max Holden. Rehan Ahmed's currently sitting on 3 for 8! 72/6
    14.1 What a take! Absolutely outstanding from Cox, and equally so from Root - lovely drift from wide on the crease, pitches full enticing the drive, turns square, catches the edge and Cox catches that! 79/7
    17.4 Tight to the stumps, sits up, hauled in the air... and taken by Willey running in from long off! 92/8

    1.4 Scuffed! Banton makes room to hit to the off side and ends up shoveling it the other way, into the hands of mid on 2/1
    10.5 Big wicket! Root falls to the reverse, shifts his feet the other way round. LPW full, straightening into leg stump. Nails his delivery, there. Now then... 68/3
    9.4 Pouched at deep backward square! An outrageous shot from Rehan - a lassoo of a slog-sweep looks and sounds good, but it's high rather than far. Chris Wood tracks that well from long leg, 66/2
    11.5 LPW delivers again! Absolute see! Flighted up, brings Willey forward, and rags that a mile between bat and pad! That started about a yard outside off stump! Ball of the Century areas... 71/4
    15.4 Leading edge to cover! The Bethell punt pays dividends! Full, Stoinis presses forward and turns the bat too early and skews out to Livingstone! 89/6
    14.1 Run out! Oh my days... Knuckle ball is bunted to cover, Linde doesn't want the run but Stoinis sets off and finds his partner not responding to his call. Linde had shouted no but Stoinis was already on his way. The South African ends up walking off as the throw comes into the bowler's end. Out by a distance! 77/5
    18.5 Huge for Phoenix! Hain decides to go for it off this delivery... but his slog sweep finds Howell on the deep midwicket fence! 106/7
