Langford-Smith to Fulton,
FOUR,
Shot. Overpitched on the middle stump line, down came the bat, met the ball flush in the middle and he just punched it away. Like a boxer. There was no great follow through.

Langford-Smith to Fulton,
FOUR,
half-volley outside off stump, off-driven past mid-off. The wheels are coming off for Ireland. Half-volleys, over-pitched deliveries and fullish balls on the legs. C'mon guys tighten up!

It doesn't get better. It does for Fleming though. He chases a wide full-toss outside off and slashes it to wide third man region

Langford-Smith to Marshall,
FOUR,
Both are looking pretty good out there. Fulton and Marshall. This time its Marshall who leans forward and drives between extra cover and mid-off. Again too full in length. Not much movement and it begs to be driven. He has to shorten the length slightly

half-volley on the legs and you know where that went. To the square-leg boundary. Nicely picked up. Leant forward a touch and wristed it over square-leg

Langford-Smith to Styris,

streaky streaky. Wide outside off and Stryris goes for the fierce slash, ball takes a thick edge and flies dangerously close to the diving wicketkeeper. Races past his outstretched right hand for a four

slightly short, back of a length, doesn't rise that much but Fulton rocks back and pulls it away. He's a tall man and it's too short for him.

McCallan to Fulton,
FOUR,
Crack from Fulton, flighted outside off and he picks up the length early, goes down on the ground and sweeps it behind square for a crisp four. It's the first four in 13 overs. Is this the time to step it up?

And guess where this one goes. Past that man. Another yorker that went slightly awry. Low dipping full-toss on the legs, flicked fine.

Johnston to McCullum,
FOUR,
The third one in this over. Short in length and McCullum swivels off the front foot to pull it behind square-leg. Didn't connect well, it went high in the air, but the placement was fine.
