- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.6 Smith holes out! Smith's aggression is his enemy... cantered delivery into the right-hander, decent length, Smith decides to try and find another boundary to the leg side but ends up finding Williamson's hands at point. Tough chance with the swirling winds, but Kane is able 29/22.1 Edge, taken! A five-ball stay and a struggle that's felt a lot longer, ends for Duckett. Excellent length ball around fourth, Duckett not given the chance to transfer weight. Tried to go forward but could only half do it. Thin outside edge off the full-faced bat takes it to the keeper. Dolly. Duckett crawls back 3/111.6 Caught down the leg side! Can you believe it... Root walks across again, gets the same line, and this time goes at it with a tickle, taken by a sprawling Tom Latham! Tickner puts his hands over his mouth in embarrassment but they all count... and that's his first international wicket in two years... 51/316.1 Where did that came from... come from? Bethell wanted to kick off a new phase in play with a boundary. He saw the shortish length early, knew ball was coming at his shoulder while standing side-on. The feet, especially the front, were jammed and twangled. The core couldn't twist freely, power was lost despite the free swing across the ribs. Misconnected pull. Ball floated straight to deep square leg. 63/423.2 Brook's bravado costs him, England might crumble here. Was young a floated-up length ball - if not back-of. Landed around fifth and seemed to be turning away. Stock ball, wrung into the pitch. Brook lunged and took a scythe. Wanted to flay over cover. 105/618.6 Good looking shout for lbw... given! Buttler reviews quickly. Doesn't look like there was bat. Yeah, missed big. What does Hawk-Eye say? Two reds and an orange, Buttler was happy to trust the pitch and play length balls against the line. Length on fifth, jags in with the angle and beats the flick. Just clipping bails 81/528.4 Bowled him! What a delivery! Fizzed in, drifts in, grips perfectly and spins away from Curran, who was moving to the leg side, clipping the off bail. Print that out and stick it on the fridge 143/733.1 Scrambled seam does the trick. Tickner has three. Overton'sm enterprising knock ends. Hard-length heavy ball just outside off. Overton stood tall and looked to flat-bat the leather off of it. Got it high off the bat, high in the air. Mid-off goes back and completes the catch 165/931.5 Hooked out to deep square! Carse goes after a well-directed bumper, and actually nails it flat but straight to Mitchell, stooping for the catch. 164/835.6 Pull nailed.... straight to catching midwicket. Tickner four-for. England bundled out under 40 overs again, in fact it's just 35.5 overs. Shortish ball just outside off. Rashid's position, shape-holding,. swivel were all in working order. Sadly for him, hit it just over head-height. Bracewell takes sharp chance with cent percent reflexes 175/10Extras2 (b 1, w 1)TOTAL175 all out (36 Overs, RR: 4.86)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Ben Duckett, 2.1 ov), 2-29 (Jamie Smith, 5.6 ov), 3-51 (Joe Root, 11.6 ov), 4-63 (Jacob Bethell, 16.1 ov), 5-81 (Jos Buttler, 18.6 ov), 6-105 (Harry Brook, 23.2 ov), 7-143 (Sam Curran, 28.4 ov), 8-164 (Brydon Carse, 31.5 ov), 9-165 (Jamie Overton, 33.1 ov), 10-175 (Adil Rashid, 35.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 Gone! Full, straight, quick, 143kph. Young, hanging back because of the previous deliveries, wears that on the shin in front of middle. There's a cursory chat with Ravindra but it doesn't last long! 0/121.4 Aww, grunts Ravindra, as the ball was midway into a bread-basket catch for Rashid at deep fine leg. Archer counts his blessings, pumps his fists while remaining expressionless after his 140ks bumper struck gold. Was at the body, Ravindra middled the pull/hook. It was flat, hard and stung Rashid's hands. Didn't pop out. Ravindra has to, does so with some annoyance. 105/311.5 Bowled him! Dragged on by Williamson, Overton slightly wider, angling in, gets enough movement to nip in - a cutter, really - and clip the inside edge, before disrupting the timber 42/224.1 Has to be out... unless he nicked it. No, Latham walking back. Adil Rashid becomes every school cricketer's delight by striking with a moon ball. Looped it high and fullish around off, spun in back in a touch to beat Latham's pre-meditated reverse both by dip and by lack of pace. Back leg hit, thanks for coming. 73ks, Neil Wagner confirms 112/427.6 Archer chugs in follow-through, turns around and laughs and hoots as he celebrates a strangle down leg. There must be jaffas that've brought him less joy. This came from his last ball of the quota. Wanged in on a half-tracker length. Sharp angle. Landed around off and finished down leg. Bracewell looked to glance it fine, tickled it to the keeper 118/5Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL177/5 (33.1 Overs, RR: 5.33)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Will Young, 0.4 ov), 2-42 (Kane Williamson, 11.5 ov), 3-105 (Rachin Ravindra, 21.4 ov), 4-112 (Tom Latham, 24.1 ov), 5-118 (Michael Bracewell, 27.6 ov)
