  • Naveen-ul-Haq4-0-35-3

They've huffed and puffed their way to 175/7, which looks like a respectable score. The slower deliveries have been quite effective. Expect a fierce tussle that might go down to the wire. Decent contributions from Carty, Pollard, and Russell have put them in a good position. The bowlers were a bit inconsistent but Maheesh Theekshana did a remarkable job, always coming back after being hit for boundaries and finishing his spell with three wickets. Holder was economical and Naveen was special as always with his bag of tricks, even though the wet ball didn't make things easy. I'm going to grab a quick cup of tea and take a short walk. I'll be back soon and look forward to your delightful company!

Holder to Jordan, 1 bye, Rolling his fingers, short and wide, tries to boom a pull and only grabs fresh air, runs like a bull who has seen red rug down the pitch and sneaks a bye, keeper throws at the stumps but misses
