Shahzad to White,

pushed back down past the bowler to mid-on

Shahzad to White,
no run,
probing outside off, White gets across with a big stride and defends
|
6.6 |
Shahzad to White,
no run,
bouncer! And it's quick, straight, and probably just a touch too high to really threaten White, who goes for the hook but can't connect

Tremlett to White,
no run,
White pushes this one to off, good consistent lines from Tremlett
|
7.4 |
Tremlett to White,
no run,
yeee-ouch! Tremlett uses his height to bang this one in short and White tries to defend, but cops it on the right hand, yanking it off the bat and takes the glove off immediately. The physio comes out to have a look. And for some reason Kevin Pietersen is supervising, patting White on the shoulder.

7.5 |
Tremlett to White,

pushed out to the off side and can't find the gap

Shahzad to White,
1 wide,
bad ball, way down leg side and there's no doubt that's a wide
|
10.1 |
Shahzad to White,
1 run,
driven just wide of mid-off to get a single
|
10.3 |
Shahzad to White,
no run,
yorker but it's not on line, and White pushes to point
|
10.4 |
Shahzad to White,
no run,
there's an appeal now as White pushes outside off and the ball is taken by Prior, but Tony Hill isn't interested and it didn't look like an edge at first view - replays confirm bat hit pad
|
10.5 |
Shahzad to White,
1 run,
White throws the bat now as he gets a wider and fuller one, getting it uppishly to third man and it's collected inside the boundary

pushed to short cover and can't beat the field

Tremlett to White,
1 run,
oh, here's a chance, White pulls and top edges high - high - high - and out to square leg, Prior races across and tries to make the ground, hurls himself at the last moment but falls a few inches short of getting his gloves on it. Perhaps he could have left that for fine leg or midwicket running around, but it was a good effort nonetheless

Bresnan to White,
no run,
Bresnan has been fuller than Tremlett, suits him better and he lands this around off stump on a length, White eases forward to block
|
17.2 |
Bresnan to White,
no run,
ripper! Pitches on a length and skids away, White's feet are rooted and it climbs past the outside edge
|
17.3 |
Bresnan to White,
2 runs,
good running earns a couple here, White glancing towards deep square and sprinting hard to come back for the second
|
17.4 |
Bresnan to White,

a misfield! Don't see many from England. Bell is the villain, diving over the ball at short cover to gift a single

Trott to White,
no run,
starts with a gentle, wobbling medium-pacer aiming for around off stump. White defends rather respectfully
|
18.2 |
Trott to White,
2 runs,
no more respect from White! He aims an almighty drive down-town, as Australians like to say, didn't get much of it and it went very high, Tremlett hared after it but couldn't quite catch up
|
18.3 |
Trott to White,
no run,
this time it's back to careful defence
|
18.4 |
Trott to White,
no run,
White aims a mow. Horrid shot really, flat-footed swipe. He momentarily dragged his foot out before grounding it back in the crease. Prior had the bails off to all sorts of excitement but the third umpire confirmed White was home
|
18.5 |
Trott to White,
FOUR,
finally White gets hold of one. I don't think he can stomach the prospect of Trott trundling in and bowling dot balls so aims a well-timed lofted drive well over mid-on for four
|
18.6 |
Trott to White,
no run,
satisfied with his boundary White is happy to nudge this into the leg side. He might have combusted if he didn't get one away off Trott

Tredwell to White,

good finish to the over for Tredwell, rolling it down on a sensible length and line and it's patted back to him. Sensible seems the word for Tredwell

20.4 |
Trott to White,

Trott finds a straight line and good length. White steps forward to defend
|
20.5 |
Trott to White,
no run,
more good lengths and lines from Trott. White picks out Strauss with a leg-side nudge
|
20.6 |
Trott to White,
1 run,
White has seen enough so aims a drive here, timing it not quite perfectly but well enough to pick a single down to long-on

18* (44b 1x4)

Tredwell to White,

hint of spin here as Tredwell rolls it down on a length, it unnerves White a touch in defence
|
21.2 |
Tredwell to White,
1 run,
more secure for White this time, easing down to long-on
|
21.5 |
Tredwell to White,
no run,
Tredwell holds this back a touch and White has plenty of time to aim a cut, too much time in fact and he mistimes it
|
21.6 |
Tredwell to White,
no run,
ooh, looked a good shout as White misses an attempted sweep. Probably hit outside the line. England opted not to review

full-faced chip-drive from White, clearing the infield to take a couple

22.3 |
Trott to White,
1 run,
touch leg-sided from Trott allows White to lean this into the midwicket region. Steady flow of runs since the quicks left the attack
|
22.5 |
Trott to White,
no run,
Trott is rewarded for a good length and line, cutting his fingers across the ball, with a forward block
|
22.6 |
Trott to White,
1 run,
soft hands is not something you think of when talking about White but this was rather delicately placed behind square on the leg side for a strike-stealing single

Tredwell to White,
1 run,
White gets deep into his crease to punch a drive wide of extra cover for one
|
23.5 |
Tredwell to White,
1 run,
another delicate touch from White, uses the slightest hint of width to run a back-cut to third man. Fancy shot for one

30* (57b 2x4)
|
25.3 |
Tredwell to White,
1 run,
touch too short from Tredwell but it's sticking in the pitch and White has to heave his cut shot, means the timing isn't ideal so it's just a single to deep point
|
25.5 |
Tredwell to White,
no run,
big gap either side of Bell at short midwicket but White's leg-side nurdle finds the man
|
25.6 |
Tredwell to White,

hint of turn and extra bounce keeps White careful as he works this to Bell again at short midwicket

Yardy to White,
no run,
again White wants room to bang over cover, but Yardy is following him, taking pace off the ball and White has to force a back-foot drive to cover

same set up as last delivery really, intriguing little battle, White this time gets a single down to long-off with his back-foot drive

straight onto the ideal off-stump line to the right-hander this time. White securely behind it to defend
|

Shahzad to White,
1 run,
too much width allows White to free his arms with a back-foot drive, only earns a single but he's a good wingman for Marsh at the moment

White edges down the wicket, lining up a booming drive before deciding on a more careful pat

ah this is a wonderful, wonderful shot. Easing down the track and rather than smack it, White picked out a gap wide of long-off and timed it away for four
|
32.6 |
Yardy to White,
OUT,
Yardy strikes, soft dismissal that. Held back and tossed up from the bowler, White was a touch early on a drive but rather than go through with the shot he checked it, chipped it back wide of Yardy who dived smartly to his left to take the catch. England really needed that
