13.2 to JM Vince, Edged and the stand is broken! A pretty nothing delivery, length and wide outside off. It was the off cutter, that Vince looks to hack over the onside but only ends up getting a nick through to the keeper. Umpire takes his time to think about and finally raises the finger. 115/4 13.4 to Azmatullah Omarzai, 2 in 3 balls for the Fizz! And it's the big fish! Omarzai goes for 43 off 26, but it's a tame dismissal all things considered. It's another cutter that does the trick as the Afghan allrounder looks to just defend. Not much footwork and ends up getting an inside edge on to the stumps. 116/5 13.5 to SR Dickson, Make that 3 in 4 and the Fizz is on a hat-trick! This one is so good that the Fizz himself wasn't aware this had clipped the top of off stump. A beauty of an offcutter, just grips on the surface having pitched outside leg, before nipping sharply past the right-hander's outside edge and clipping the stumps. 116/6 | ||||||||||

3.1 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and he strikes first ball! Gurbaz wastes little time going after the spinner, clearing that front leg and goes for a booming slog sweep. Only manages a top edge though as this goes high and not very far, for square leg to settle under. Ali enjoyed that too, giving Gurbaz a fairly solid send-off. 39/1 5.4 to LJ Tucker, Haider has his second and Tucker's stay is a short one! He noticed that Tucker had been looking to make room and cut, so he bowls this one a little fuller and much quicker. Tucker is way too slow on the stroke and the stumps are disturbed. 49/3 | ||||||||||

4.3 to MM Ali, Spin strikes again! This was a little slower and given a more air. Wide of off too, as Moeen slaps it hard, but straight at the man at catching cover. 46/2 | ||||||||||

18.2 to KR Mayers, Neesham gets the last laugh though! Fuller outside off now and Mayers tries the cover boundary this time. Ends up slicing it high though, to give the boundary rider a fairly regulation take. 149/7 | ||||||||||

4.4 to Sediqullah Atal, Chipped to cover easy as you'd like! This was back of a length, angling just away from off, and this seemed to surprise Atal who ends up checking the back foot punch straight to Myers. Taken comfortably at head height, as Giants finally find the breakthrough. 34/1 4.6 to JM Cox, Chopped on! Cox goes for a duck as he's played on one that was pretty short and wide in truth. Misjudged the bounce and he pays the price. 35/2 | ||||||||||

9.3 to JL du Plooy, But Klaasen strikes back immediately! Another cutter from Klaasen, back of a length, but perhaps doesn't bounce as much as du Plooy was expecting. Hunches over in his attempted pull, as the top of off stump is rocked. 66/3 | ||||||||||

14.5 to Shayan Jahangir, Breakthrough! Jayangir takes on the man at wide long-on with this slog sweep, but it's the tall Adair stationed there and he judges it to perfection. This match is not done yet!. 108/4 | ||||||||||
