8.4 to JD Libby, A big shout earlier in the over, and this one is even bigger. Up goes the finger as the first wicket falls. Very full, angled in at middle and leg, as Libby plays down the wrong line. 31/1

49.2 to Kashif Ali, A wicket out of the blue. Tossed up again from Parkinson, on a wide line outside off, and turning away just enough to graze the edge of a flashing drive. Kashif's fine knock is over. 167/2 61.5 to BL D'Oliveira, decent turn from Parkinson, drawing D'Oliveira forward outside off, and after one edge earlier in the over fell short of slip, this one is stabbed straight into the hands of Bell-Drummond. 203/3 121.1 to RP Jones, . 393/7
