- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 length ball on middle. Dickwella goes to the off side to play a sweep. Misses it, ball grazes his pad and crashes into middle. 25/23.6 rattled! Full ball around the stumps, and aimed straight. "You miss, I hit" stuff and TKC is gone. 25/113.4 holes out this time. Tries to emulate Williams by attempting another big shot over the leg side. This time he skies the slog sweep and Sowter himself calls for it and runs behind to complete the catch 90/58.5 first wicket for him! Full around off. Tries to smack it across the line but misses. Rattles the stumps 53/310.3 holes out to long off! Skipped down the ground to hit it down the V but the connection wasn't good! 65/415.5 out after a useful 23. Overpitched ball on middle and he tries to hit it over the bowler's head. But toe-ends the shot and Curran with a simple one at mid on, just outside the 30-yard circle 107/616.5 short ball outside off. Tries to cut but ends up slapping it to wide long off for an easy one 112/717.5 that's his second! Stumps rattled as he misses this leg-side shot to a full ball 121/817.6 yorker on middle.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 out for a 12-ball 30! Entertaining while it lasted but Williams ends the 50-run stand. This was a length ball outside off and the attempted cut has chopped onto his stumps 50/15.6 ends the over in style! Length ball on off. Ball skids on. Tries to hammer it but misses. Wickets left in a scramble 65/35.3 short ball, but this time he will go for the shot. A shame for Lawrence that the pull has been struck straight to fine leg. 64/212.2 full ball outside off. Cut through point, who misfields. Allows them to take two but that's a risky second... and looks like it is a run-out! Yes, Munro goes trying to pinch the second, beaten by the throw from the deep 115/4Extras7 (b 4, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL123/4 (12.5 Overs, RR: 9.58)Fall of wickets: 1-50 (Phil Salt, 3.5 ov), 2-64 (Dan Lawrence, 5.3 ov), 3-65 (Alex Hales, 5.6 ov), 4-115 (Colin Munro, 12.2 ov)
