- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 top edge down deep square's throat! Smith out first ball. The stadium falls flat. Short ball angled across, he walks down and tries to pull on the move, he gets a top edge and it carries all the way to the man in the deep 0/18.3 Bowled him! Gray has Vince has his first scalp! Some scalp too. Good length and quicker on middle, Vince went back to pull but misjudged the length and the speed and it skidded through and crashed into middle and leg. Well bowled young man 59/213.5 slapped straight to cover! Hales pouches it! Short and wide leg break, he slaps a cut shot straight to Hales at cover who was closer than he should have been but he was in the right spot as it turns out to take a good low catch 101/49.2 chipped straight to mid-off! Great captaincy. Green brought five inside the ring including mid-off. Tempted Henriques to go over mid-off, it was full enough to do it but he just chipped it low and flat straight to the man on the ring! 68/317.6 another leg cutter miscued to mid-off! Back of the hand slower ball, comes off the pitch really slow, he miscues completely trying to get it over mid-off but Green is there 131/615.2 Bowled him! Clipped the top of off! A beauty. Good length off cutter, it grips sharply in the surface and stays a touch and comes back through the gate to clip the outside of off stump. 109/518.3 holes out to deep midwicket! Sams nearly messed it up but he holds on. Sangha loops it up, tempts a slog sweep, Kerr gets under it but the breeze carries it further than Sams was expecting and he held on backtracking to the rope but kept his balance 133/7Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL151/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.55)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Steven Smith, 0.1 ov), 2-59 (James Vince, 8.3 ov), 3-68 (Moises Henriques, 9.2 ov), 4-101 (Josh Philippe, 13.5 ov), 5-109 (Jack Edwards, 15.2 ov), 6-131 (Jordan Silk, 17.6 ov), 7-133 (Hayden Kerr, 18.3 ov)

Full outside off, in the slot, he steps outside leg and gets too far away from it and gets a healthy nick! 88/515.1 leading edge straight to cover!
