19.1 to CT Bancroft, back of a length outside off, an off cutter, skews off the bottom of the bat to deep point. A fine innings from Bancroft. 194/6 19.4 to N McAndrew, sliced to deep cover, fantastic catch! Overton grabs it above his head. Not sure if he slightly misjudged it. 197/7
Matthew Short	3	0	43	1	14.33	2	0	0
1.6 to AD Hales, cleaned him up! Hales was on the charge, but he's gone now. Giving himself room outside leg, it's held back by Short, and Hales misses his drive. Excellent bowling. 25/1
Jamie Overton	4	0	29	2	7.25	6	2	0
2.2 to M Gilkes, edged, taken at slip! What a start for Overton. Pitched up outside off, enticing the drive, thick edge and nicely held. Reward for an attacking field. 27/2 16.3 to DR Sams, toe ends this from wide outside off, and it's well taken at long-off. Not sure he was entirely confident! A slower ball, couldn't get the distance on it from low down on the bat. But can get some treatment on that leg now. 168/5
Wes Agar	4	0	44	1	11.00	2	0	0
15.4 to AI Ross, through him! Good comeback from Agar. Full and straight, Ross whips across the line and misses. 163/4
Cameron Boyce	4	0	32	1	8.00	4	0	0
7.4 to O Davies, great catch! Davies trying for a repeat, this time it's a skimming drive and Matt Short pulls in a blinder at cover. The brave bowling by Boyce, holding it back, brings reward. 81/3

16.6 to DJM Short, huge appeal and given lbw! Gets the yorker in again, and Short has called the review. Looks good unless he's hit it. Was pinpoint from Sams, Short trying to squeeze it away. Hits the back boot in front of middle and leg. No bat. He's gone. Three reds. 166/2
Tanveer Sangha	4	0	33	1	8.25	5	0	0
12.5 to MW Short, taken at point this time! Leans back on a drive, back of a length, slices it in the air and a simple catch. End of a superb innings. 139/1
Zaman Khan	3.4	0	43	1	11.72	4	0	0
17.5 to CA Lynn, great yorker! He gets it spot on. At middle stump, Lynn plays over it. That really was a superb delivery.. 176/3 Photos
