6.5 to AA Obanda, tries to hit a length delivery over mid-off but the ball goes staight up, it looked like it would loop over McCallan on the edge of the circle but he took a fantastic catch diving to his left. 27/4

1.6 to NN Odhiambo, another early breakthrough! On a good length and cutting back into the batsman, he was hit on the back foot and it was an easy decision for Umpire Hair. 12/2
3.6 to KO Otieno, big problems for Kenya and Otieno is gone top-edging a pull shot to Connell at short fine-leg. 15/3
31321.001600
10.2 to RG Aga, bowled! Full ball which Aga tried to drive through the off-side, the ball may have cut back off the pitch to send the off-stump flying. 48/6
10.4 to JK Kamande, and another one! Hiting the leg-stump this time as Kamande got too far accross, super bowling from Cusack. 48/7

9.1 to SO Tikolo, he gets a wicket with his first ball, very like the lbw of Odiambo as the ball cut back off the pitch to trap Tikilo on the back foot. 38/5
13.4 to TM Odoyo, a loose shot from Odoyo, he went for a big drive outside his off-stump, the ball cut back in through the gate to take the off-stump bails. 57/8

2.6 to GC Wilson, he's gone as well, short ball and he went for the pull shot, a top-edge took the ball into midwicket where Suji took a very good catch running back. 3/2
