- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.4 caught at deep midwicket! He skipped down to one drifting in, he just chipped it with the drift to deep midwicket and McAndrew runs around and takes an excellent catch. Strange shot. Good catch. Big wicket 18/13.2 caught at long on! He holes out! Well bowled. He tossed it up, just held the pace back, Bryant was down trying to launch long, got under it, hit it high down the ground but not long enough, Green takes a good catch after sitting under it for awhile 30/24.5 caught at cover! Wide low full toss, he sets himself and lasers a flat hard drive straight to Ferguson at cover! Picked him on the circle 40/311.1 low full toss scooped down deep square's throat! It was a knee high full toss angled in, he got down on one knee to slog sweep and didn't get enough of it and helped it straight down deep square leg's throat on the rope. 81/59.2 caught at long on! Tossed up outside off, he slog sweeps trying to over long on, he miscues hitting it high to long on, Hales has to wait an eternity under it but holds on well inside the rope 67/416.4 bowled him! Yorker through the legs! Sams gets his man. Cutting stepped back and across to launch again, Sams fired the yorker at the base of off, it sneaked between his legs and lit up the stumps! 129/815.2 bowled him! Sensational yorker! He delivers these so well. An offspinner bowling death yorkers at over 100kph. This was speared at the base of off, he jammed down but couldn't keep it out and it hit the base flush. That is so skilful. 113/615.4 run out trying for two! Jono Cook beat him with the throw! He's back and working forward of square, they push for two and take on Cook, he runs in from the rope, fires the throw to the keeper, it is a touch wide but good enough to bear Lalor. Gilkes whips the bails off and he's gone. Lalor turned blind there too 114/717.5 caught at long on! This was tossed up and he tries to loft down the ground, gets under it and it flies straight to Green in the deep 135/919.2 caught at deep midwicket! In the slot on leg, he swungs through the line, hits it well but it's the long boundary and Ross is there to swallow the catch 143/10Extras12 (lb 4, w 8)TOTAL143 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 7.39)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Tom Banton, 1.4 ov), 2-30 (Max Bryant, 3.2 ov), 3-40 (Chris Lynn, 4.5 ov), 4-67 (Sam Heazlett, 9.2 ov), 5-81 (Matt Renshaw, 11.1 ov), 6-113 (Mark Steketee, 15.2 ov), 7-114 (Josh Lalor, 15.4 ov), 8-129 (Ben Cutting, 16.4 ov), 9-135 (Mitchell Swepson, 17.5 ov), 10-143 (Ben Laughlin, 19.2 ov)
