- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.5 beaten by the googly! Good length ball on the off stump. Ajekun was on backfoot and shaping to cut it. He didn't pick the googly off the hand. It doesn't turn much. Hits the top of middle 5/13.4 on the off stump. Mistimes the scoop as he gets a bottom edge to short fine-leg region. Dockrell runs in and throws it to the keeper, who whips the bails off and beats Runsewe's dive 13/24.3 short of a good length delivery. Gim doesn't commit to the shot fully as he changes from a lofted drive to a slice midway. Perhaps the bounce was lower than he thought. He gets an outside edge back to the keeper. Or was it slower than he anticipated it to be? 13/310.3 on the stumps. Onwuzulike goes for the hoick and misses. The stumps are splattered. Only the middle stump is left standing 34/57.4 on the leg stump. Onikoyi looks to scoop. There is no power in it and it carries straight to Stirling at short fine-leg 24/416.2 slower ball on the middle stump. Okpe moves back and looks to slog it. He misses and the ball hits the top of middle stump 58/617.1 yorker on the leg stump. Oyede looks to defend and is beaten. The ball hits the bottom of leg stump 59/718.2 the third bowled dismissal for Young as he keeps his line on the stumps.
