- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.5 caught at slip! Great catch by Dunk. Back of a length wide of off, he went to cut off the back foot but he played with an angled bat, a touch of extra bounce and nip catches the edge, it flies high to Dunk's left at slip, he reaches up with two hands and plucks it 2/14.1 top edge caught by the keeper! A slower ball on leg, he tries to whip this in the air over the leg side, he gets a leading edge that flies very high towards gully, Gotch runs to his left, camps under it and takes the catch! 21/212.4 caught at long off! Miscues this one! A slower ball, 126kph, he tries to go over long off again, but mistimes this, slicing it to Bird in the deep running in off the rope and he takes the catch! 95/316.5 caught at backwards square! Slower ball on leg stump, he clips this away off his pads in the air but straight to Gulbis on the circle behind square! Simple catch 134/516.3 bowled him! This might have been a full toss above waist high! Back of the hand slower ball, very high, he tried a baseball type swing, got a little edge but it landed on top of the off stump! Rashid looks around to the square leg umpire but he says it was a legal delivery! That was borderline above waist high. Probably unfortunate for Rashid 133/4Extras9 (b 2, lb 1, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL178/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.9)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Matthew Short, 0.5 ov), 2-21 (Jake Weatherald, 4.1 ov), 3-95 (Travis Head, 12.4 ov), 4-133 (Rashid Khan, 16.3 ov), 5-134 (Colin Ingram, 16.5 ov)
