this is much shorter and inside the tramlines too on the off side. Shepherd swishes at it with his entire might, but only grabs some more fresh air

Henry to Shepherd, 2 runs
Shepherd is down on his knees, but NZ spill another chance! Fullish delivery hugging the tramlines on the off side. Shepherd bends his back knee and slices it terribly. Jamieson runs in and dives forward in the backward point region, but the ball sneaks through his hands!

Henry to Greaves, FOUR runs
dug in shorter but similarly wide outside off. Greaves fetches it and muscles it between deep mid wicket and long on. Both leave it to each other, and Greaves notches up a vital boundary!
