18.1 |
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

20.1 |
Trott to Marsh,
1 run,
"Aw!" screams Prior, who must be watching a different game. Marsh clipped this neatly to deep square
|
20.2 |
Trott to White,
1 run,
White's bat is looking a touch broader now and he full-faces this down the ground
|
20.3 |
Trott to Marsh,
1 run,
a hint of width means Marsh can open the face and run this down to third man
|
20.4 |
Trott to White,
no run,
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

22.1 |
Trott to Marsh,
1 run,
worked away into space for a single
|
22.2 |
Trott to White,
2 runs,
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
|
22.4 |
Trott to Marsh,
1 run,
Marsh drops this to cover, jogs a single. Simple when you know how
|
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
