- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.1 Given lbw! Slower ball does the trick. Slower ball off cutter angled in, he moves inside the line to paddle scoop it fine, it hits the front pad just in line with off stump. Looks a very good decision from Gerard Abood 42/19.5 Weatherald is run out backing up! He was run out twice actually! Salt hammered a drive back at the non striker's end, Green gets a touch on it and Weatherald had his bat in the air as he plonked it back. They thought he was home initially, Salt then called for a run after it ricochet's off the stumps and Weatherald was ball watching, he was actually run out at the other end too. But the first run out counts 80/214.3 slower ball, sliced off the edge to short third man! Well bowled. Slower ball leg spinner outside off, he drove hard and got a thick edge that floated straight to Doggett at short third man 116/319.1 Head is run out backing up! Another one! Slower ball outside off, Neser slapped it back in the air to Milne, he tried to catch with the right hand, it came off his hand and onto the stumps at the non striker's end! Head just walked straight off as he had backed up a long way 156/618.1 Given lbw! A yorker speared into middle, perfectly bowled, Gibson was sitting deep in the crease, it went under the bat and hit the back heel infront of middle and leg. Easy decision 153/418.2 lbw again! He's a hat-trick! Yorker speared into the base of leg stump, it hits his front foot on the full! It was inline with middle and leg and hitting the base of leg.

Davies thumped a drive back to the bowler, O'Connor knocked it down and it ricocheted behind him, Davies called a tight one and Billings was slow to go, O'Connor, turned and chased it, picked it up, swivelled and threw to the striker's end and hit!
