- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.1 back of a length outside off, an off cutter, skews off the bottom of the bat to deep point. A fine innings from Bancroft 194/61.6 cleaned him up! Hales was on the charge, but he's gone now. Giving himself room outside leg, it's held back by Short, and Hales misses his drive. Excellent bowling 25/12.2 edged, taken at slip! What a start for Overton. Pitched up outside off, enticing the drive, thick edge and nicely held. Reward for an attacking field 27/27.4 great catch! Davies trying for a repeat, this time it's a skimming drive and Matt Short pulls in a blinder at cover. The brave bowling by Boyce, holding it back, brings reward 81/315.4 through him! Good comeback from Agar. Full and straight, Ross whips across the line and misses 163/416.3 toe ends this from wide outside off, and it's well taken at long-off. Not sure he was entirely confident! A slower ball, couldn't get the distance on it from low down on the bat. But can get some treatment on that leg now 168/519.4 sliced to deep cover, fantastic catch! Overton grabs it above his head. Not sure if he slightly misjudged it 197/7Extras4 (b 1, w 3)TOTAL200/7 (20 Overs, RR: 10)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Alex Hales, 1.6 ov), 2-27 (Matthew Gilkes, 2.2 ov), 3-81 (Oliver Davies, 7.4 ov), 4-163 (Alex Ross, 15.4 ov), 5-168 (Daniel Sams, 16.3 ov), 6-194 (Cameron Bancroft, 19.1 ov), 7-197 (Nathan McAndrew, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.5 taken at point this time! Leans back on a drive, back of a length, slices it in the air and a simple catch. End of a superb innings 139/116.6 huge appeal and given lbw! Gets the yorker in again, and Short has called the review. Looks good unless he's hit it. Was pinpoint from Sams, Short trying to squeeze it away. Hits the back boot in front of middle and leg. No bat. He's gone. Three reds 166/217.5 great yorker! He gets it spot on. At middle stump, Lynn plays over it. That really was a superb delivery. 176/319.1 is he run out? A full delivery, gets an inside edge into the pads. It rolls up the pitch, Zaman hustles across from his follow through, collects, turns and hits direct and Weatherland hasn't even tried to ground his bat. That's an awful piece of cricket from the batter. And a dot ball 193/4Extras10 (lb 2, w 8)TOTAL205/4 (19.4 Overs, RR: 10.42)Fall of wickets: 1-139 (Matthew Short, 12.5 ov), 2-166 (D'Arcy Short, 16.6 ov), 3-176 (Chris Lynn, 17.5 ov), 4-193 (Jake Weatherald, 19.1 ov)
