39.4

Randiv to Patel, 1 run, oh dear, what's Samit done!? Look's like Trott is home but that's not at all in Patel's script. It was flicked to the leg side, set off for one and Trott wanted a second but Patel sent him back late. Needed a desperate dive to get home. Trott was not at all amused

41.6

Randiv to Patel, no run, blocked securely to end the over

44.2

Randiv to Patel, 1 run, too wide this time, Patel hops back and cracks a cut shot out to deep point

44.4

Randiv to Patel, OUT, Patel goes now! Randiv has another, England stumbling! The building pressure told for him. Tried to break the shackles with a big shot down the ground but only managed to slice it up to cover where Mathews juggled the take, he's really got terrible hands!

SR Patel c Mathews b Randiv 8 (20m 14b 0x4 0x6) SR: 57.14

England 243/7   SR Patel 8 (14b)
