You could see the intensity from both sides. It could have been worse had Rickelton not stepped up again, almost batted till the end, made a fabulous 89, and got help from Klassen. But apart from these two, nobody could get into double figures. Two crucial run-outs of Klassen and de Kock hurt their cause. Russell was fantastic all the way with his change-ups, used the round-the-wicket angle so well, and always remained one step ahead of the batters. Dry was economical in his two overs, Ali Khan was pacy, and Narine showed his dexterity with the ball in no uncertain terms. LAKR certainly brought their A-game forward in the first half. Now, let's see if they can chase down this middling total. I'll be back in a few minutes.

Russell to Harmeet Singh, no run, Final ball. Pace-on fuller thunderbolt curling in from outside off, too quick for thee and he can't lay bat on it. SO finish on 142/6

Muzahid: "Though the LAKR bowled brilliantly, i think this SO team leave a lot to be desired.. Such an underwhelming campaign they are having"

Russell to Harmeet Singh, 1 bye, Now that's a carbon copy of the previous delivery, once again a shortish ball from round the wicket, can't time and gets strangled by the lack of pace, keeper misses the stumps again and they steal a run
19.3
1b
Russell to Paul, 1 bye, Over the wicket, holds his length back and gets it to curve in at fourth stump line, he threw the kitchen sink and all the crockery, no pace and they sneak a bye, direct hit would have been curtains for sure, keeper missed it

Russell to Harmeet Singh, 1 run, Hard length at his body, stays deep and nurdles it to long-on

Muzahid: "Spencer Johnson tries attacking the body a lot.. Been seeing Surrey matches at Vitality Blast and it was the same case there as well.. And importantly, batsmen struggle most of times because of the pace he bowls at"

Russell to Harmeet Singh, 2 runs, Round the wicket, came wide of the crease, shortish and too straight, heaved in the air, Johnson got his hand to it and deflected it to Saif who pinged a sharp throw, good work in tandem

Johnson to Rickelton, OUT, Miscued one and gets holed out to deep midwicket, was a low full-toss on middle, rare mistimed shot from his bat and he has to go but take a bow, what a fine innings. He has been a model of consistency this season and made the headlines.

Johnson to Rickelton, SIX, Seizes on the full-length leg-side delivery with a elegant yet powerful shot over deep midwicket for a 295 monstrous six, that's gone out of the park, it's been Rickelton all the way, the lone ranger, fighting it out, genius at work!

Russell to Bracewell, OUT, Stumps shattered, zingers are alight. Hangs on the back foot and tries to pull that over deep midwicket.
