- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 can't beat fine leg this time! Vasconcelos goes for the ramp once again, he got a decent connection, but only off the top of the bat, and it wasn't enough to clear Wood, tracking back from inside the ring 35/20.3 hits the right line this time! Willey has a nibble, another outswinger with good carry, snicks the edge and straight to the keeper! A first-baller for the skipper! 3/14.3 thrashed to short third! Bopara won't be the hero this time! A thick outside-edge off the very full length, Wood barely had time to react but clung on with an instinctive, self-preservatory grab! 41/36.5 Fortuin favours the brave! Robinson comes down to meet the hard length, but can't connect cleanly as the ball bursts through between bat and back pad, into the stumps! 54/47.6 brilliant diving grab in front of the Hollies! It was an urgent sweep from Zaib, he connected pretty well, but it was aerial all the way and Orr saw it early, and dived with a reverse-cup after a long sprint to his left. A quick check to see if he grounded it, as per Mitchell Starc at Lord's in 2023, but that was safe enough 65/510.5 cracked off the back foot, a direct hit from Vince at mid-off as McManus is sent back, but he was home... or was he?! He's an inch short! And a crucial moment too, with the prospect of a rain delay and a DLS calculation... 86/617.3 superb response! Hits his length, pings the top of the leg bail as Procter swings for the hills.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 Zaib gets the breakthrough! Albert comes down the track early, and fails to readjust as Zaib fires one into a length, hits high on the bat and taken low by Willey stooping at mid on 38/18.3 Pope gets Vince! Excellent delivery, enticing Vince down with a bit of flight, pitches and turns as the bat gets to it, scuffed high to extra cover in the ring! 78/211.2 What a grab! Take about Scrimshaw, stationed at short third, sent sprinting back to the boundary for a top-edge reverse sweep... he tracks it all the way, stretching out those long arms and clutching a previous chance! 93/313.5 Taken at square leg! Flight and a bit of drift into off stump, Orr goes for the slog sweep behind square, gets enough on it for a simple catch to Bopara in the deep! A third for Zaib... 117/4Extras8 (lb 2, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL155/4 (15.4 Overs, RR: 9.89)Fall of wickets: 1-38 (Toby Albert, 3.4 ov), 2-78 (James Vince, 8.3 ov), 3-93 (Ben Mayes, 11.2 ov), 4-117 (Ali Orr, 13.5 ov)
