3.2 to JR Philippe, this has gone miles up...and is taken by Harper! That had a huge amount of hangtime on it. Harper kept his cool, called it early, and took it around short midwicket. Philippe aiming a big swing over the leg side. 27/1
Usama Mir	4	0	19	3	4.75	9	1	0	0	0
4.6 to DP Hughes, driven straight to cover! For a second thought that was into the pitch. Full and wide outside off, was there to drive, but Hughes either went along the ground or with enough height. Comfortable catch. 33/2 8.1 to MC Henriques, done all ends up! Lovely bowling. Henriques uses his feet, it's short of a length, grips and spins past the edge. Stumped by miles. 43/3 8.4 to JC Silk, edged, caught behind! What a time he's having. Length ball just outside off, looking to push it away, turned just a little and grazed the outside edge. 45/4
Haris Rauf	4	0	38	3	9.50	10	3	3	0	0
19.1 to J Edwards, launched high into the off side, taken by cover as he back tracks from the edge of the ring. Came from low down on the bat. 147/6 19.5 to J Davies, a low full toss at the stumps, carved straight to point as he gives himself some room. 154/7 19.6 to BJ Dwarshuis, cleaned up! Gets the leg stump yorker in from round the wicket, Dwarshuis moving to leg. Good finish from Rauf. 154/8

16.2 to BJ Webster, taken at long on! Huge moment. Webster tried to clear the straight boundary but couldn't quite get enough of it. 121/5 18.3 to Imad Wasim, miles into the high sky, taken at mid-off! Another twist? Full outside off, Imad aiming straight, gets too far underneath it. Hughes holds his nerve and pumps the air. 143/6
Jackson Bird	4	0	42	2	10.50	10	7	1	1	0
4.2 to TF Rogers, oh goodness, what a stunner from the captain! Henriques has plucked it one handed above his head at mid-off. Short outside, Rogers trying to go down the ground, doesn't get the timing to distance. Still, Henriques had to make a huge amount of height with his leap to reach it. The third umpire checking if he kept his fingers under the ball. TV evidence suggests not, but it's been given! Rogers is stunned. This will be talked about for many reasons. 28/1 6.6 to GJ Maxwell, and now he's gone! Another short ball, Maxwell takes it on again and gets a top edge to the keeper. Good bowling. 54/3
Steve O'Keefe	4	0	23	1	5.75	7	1	0	0	0
8.5 to MP Stoinis, skids through, huge appeal for lbw and given! Stoinis is quick with the review. Was it sliding? He's a long way back in the crease, doesn't have far to travel. Quicker ball from O'Keefe. Did Stoinis. Umpire's call on clipping leg stump. 66/4
Jack Edwards	4	0	30	1	7.50	6	3	0	0	0
5.3 to SB Harper, edged, taken! Giving himself room outside leg, aims through the off side and gets a little top edge. 40/2
