- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.5 top edge to short fine leg! Excellent swirling catch by Nair. Sams was all over Salt. This was a short ball, he went for the pull, he's rushed, it went straight up in the air behind him and Nair watched it closely, he didn't look confident but did well...very tight for the no-ball but he's just okay 0/110.5 through him with a great slower ball! Looks like it's going to be a big full toss, dips late on Weatherald and goes under the bat. Superb bowling, his slower balls have been a standout early in the tournament 68/31.4 given lbw! Great comeback from Cook, this time the sweep costs him. Pitched up fuller and quicker, Short aims to sweep and that looked pretty straight 8/216.2 taken at long-off! Round the wicket, it's a length ball, he's aiming straight down the ground but gets too far underneath it. Plenty of time for Green to settle himself. He's very safe. Solid innings from Carey 122/416.4 swiped up in the air, taken by the keeper! No fireworks from Rashid, he's gone first ball. Well bowled by Morris, banged it in short of a length, Rashid went for a leg-side swing and got a big top edge 123/5Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL161/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.05)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Phil Salt, 0.5 ov), 2-8 (Matthew Short, 1.4 ov), 3-68 (Jake Weatherald, 10.5 ov), 4-122 (Alex Carey, 16.2 ov), 5-123 (Rashid Khan, 16.4 ov)
- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.2 edged, taken at slip! White has done brilliantly with Carey diving across him. That's a massive strike early on. Very full outside off, Khawaja goes for the drive, Carey goes for it and it glances his left glove but White manages to keep his focus and grab hold, with a bit of a bobble himself. Bounced off his wrist. Blimey! 0/1Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL40/1 (4.2 Overs, RR: 9.23)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Usman Khawaja, 0.2 ov)
