- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.5 Overton has two! This one was softer than the first. Drags the length back, just outside off. Gets some extra bounce and it has Philippe just fending at it. Only manages to offer up a hefty edge through to the keeper. Both openers sent packing in a matter of deliveries 40/24.3 And now Overton lands the yorker! He bowled a great one last over, but this time it get's the desired result. Arrows in on leg stump and Vince plays all around it, he throws his hands in the air as he trudges off 39/15.2 And another one goes! Bazley strikes second ball! Back of a length on off and it nips in off the surface. Hughes pushes at this and gets a thin inside edge that is well grabbed by Nielsen behind the stumps, diving to his right 40/314.4 Holes out in the deep! This was full on off, gets right under this but it's only height. Long-on runs in and takes this skier comfortably 106/416.3 And now he's gone! This was wide again, but a good length. Edwards targets the short boundary at deep midwicket with this pull, but the timing just isn't there. Holes out a metre from the rope 120/517.2 Sliced and out! Tossed up outside off, and Davies looks to go across the line but gets a thick outside edge that goes high and straight to point 133/617.4 What take by Adam Hose! Goes again for the flat bat swipe across the line, gets a good hold of it too, but Hose running in from the deep midwicket boundary dives forward and holds on to a fantastic catch. Never looked on 133/7Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL155/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.75)Fall of wickets: 1-39 (James Vince, 4.3 ov), 2-40 (Josh Philippe, 4.5 ov), 3-40 (Daniel Hughes, 5.2 ov), 4-106 (Moises Henriques, 14.4 ov), 5-120 (Jack Edwards, 16.3 ov), 6-133 (Joel Davies, 17.2 ov), 7-133 (Ben Dwarshuis, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 Stumps splattered! This was full and straight, in the slot to be fair, but Darcy Short just misses a straight one. Looks to swing this over long-on and gets nowhere near it 4/117.4 But Edwards has the last laugh! Slower ball does the trick, as Short looks to loft this full one over cover but is early on the stroke. Ends up slicing it straight to extra cover 127/57.6 Lynn's cameo comes to an end! Full, almost a yorker, angled in on the pads. Lynn looks to drive it but misses, as the ball crashes into the stumps off the front pad 59/29.5 Castles him! Good length ball, pushed through. Weatherald goes back and looks to pull this over square, but it zips through and crashes into the top of off 83/311.3 Finds third man! Short ball, and Hose looks to ramp this for six but in the end third man barely has to move as he gobbles this up 91/418.3 Another one for Bird! Short outside off, flat bats this but it flies straight up off the high part of the bat and mid-off settles under it 136/6Extras7 (lb 2, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL154/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.7)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (D'Arcy Short, 2.1 ov), 2-59 (Chris Lynn, 7.6 ov), 3-83 (Jake Weatherald, 9.5 ov), 4-91 (Adam Hose, 11.3 ov), 5-127 (Matthew Short, 17.4 ov), 6-136 (James Bazley, 18.3 ov)
