staright ball, whipped through straight midwicket and they get a couple of runs
opens the face to pick up a single wide of short third-man
full ball clipped to midwicket
full and driven through extra cover for two runs

turned through square-leg on the front foot for one more
lifting delivery, O'Brien does well to ride the bounce and guide the ball to third man
beaten outside the off-stump as he tries to drive
lovely shot, driven again through extra cover- this time he gets enough on it to reach the rope

nicely driven on-the-up through the covers for three, too much width from Suji
short again but Johnston finds the fielder at point
