    12.4 Tossed up fuller on middle, tries to swipe it through the line while leaning forward. Wait, oh wait, Qais thinks he might have hit the pad first and so he has decided to send it upstairs. Indeed, it has struck the pad as confirmed by the replay as he took a big stride out. Pitching in line, impact in line and it's smashing the middle so it's an excellent review. That is a massive moment in the game. Fletcher was batting so well and Patriots needed him to stay on the crease to set up a foundation for a big score but he has to go! 99/4
    3.4 Gone! Tries to ride the bounce and lunges forward to sweep but miscues it straight to Mayers at square leg and perishes after a promising start. Big man gets a vital breakthrough 42/1
    5.5 I think he might be short of his crease. Fuller and angling in, hacks it away to deep cover-point, fielder chucks an accurate throw at the bowler's end and holder quickly removes the bails, replay confirms da Silva was short of his crease as he starts to take the long walk back into the pavilion. Brilliant throw from Greaves. 56/2
    11.3 Oh, that's a soft dismissal! Young makes an impact straightaway! Climbing through from back of a length and rises steeply onto chest height, gets caught up in two minds and ends up chipping it back to Young who wheels off in jubilation 95/3
    14.3 Undone by a peach! He finds massive turn once again, hits in the perfect area and gets it to turn sharply, he was looking to cut that but it came back from off stump extravagantly on a quick pace and went through the gate. The middle stump is rearranged 111/5
    17.2 Skied straight up, he tries to launch it over deep midwicket against the angle, it skewed straight and Merve only had to slightly swoop to his right to take a simple catch, he is safe as a house in the field. Vital breakthrough 143/6

    3.6 Oh, that's a big wicket! Wanders down the leg side and upper-cuts it but finds Thomas at short third who gobbles it up gleefully. Cornwal stands despondent but it was an entertaining innings that has provided the early impetus in this stiff run-chase 58/1
    6.2 Fuller ball wide of off does the trick! Nedd is over the moon, fist pump and screaming in delight. Goes for the backfoot slice but it only goes as far as deep point. Yet another inroad. Just couldn't get enough power behind the shot and picked the fielder to perfection 76/2
    11.1 Miscues the skier! Now that's a massive breakthrough, slammed into the pitch on a short length and it skids through the surface, gets plenty of purchase. It's a well-directed short ball, he commits to the pull but gets a leading edge that pops up in the air, Bosch quickly tracks the ball from the bat, into the air and then settles underneath the skier, pouching it safely in the end 109/3
    16.6 Edged and taken! A well-directed bumper at the body, cramped for room as he tries to muscle that over fine leg but ends up getting feather edge to Silva. He has played a good hand, played second fiddle to Powell and built a crucial partnership, might have done his job before losing his wicket 183/4
