17.3 to JC Buttler, finds mid-on...clubs a length delivery and doesn't get elevation or placement. A brief, lively stay for Buttler. Next!. 168/4
402416.001000
16.2 to EJG Morgan, gets underneath this, goes miles into the Cardiff sky and does not quite have the distance this time as Watson settles under it just inside the rope at long on. 153/3
402526.251200
3.3 to AD Hales, well, that's done it! 91mph, Hales done for pace. Another low full toss, Hales is late on the stroke, gets an inside edge onto the pads then into the stumps. 17/1
3.6 to JJ Roy, and another! Two in the over for Cummins. Roy tries to launch a length delivery over the off side, but gets more elevation that distance...still, took a very good catch by Coulter-Nile as he back-tracked from mid-off. 18/2

0.6 to DA Warner, gone! Taken at third man! Curious dismissal, but not entirely dissimilar to a couple of the Test dismissals when he was out pulling. Was a shorter delivery, Warner wanted to play into the leg side and got into a bit of a tangle, the ball took the thick leading edge and carried easily to Finn as he took a few paces in. 4/1
18.3 to SPD Smith, he's gone! Ten short of a hundred. Smith got too far underneath this as he aimed to clear deep midwicket. The ball went high, came off the bottom of the bat and his hand came off the handle...Billings takes the vital catch. 165/5
403919.751000
1.5 to SR Watson, dragged on! Oh Watto! Would you believe it. A good length ball from Finn which he defended down by his feet. It them bobbles back towards the stumps, Watson tries to kick it away but misses and can only watch as the ball dislodged a bail. 12/2
403518.75700
17.4 to MR Marsh, first wicket for Topley! A well disguised slower ball. Back of the hand, excellent control, Marsh is far too early on his stroke and bottom edges into his stumps. 161/4
3032010.66200
402917.25910
19.4 to NM Coulter-Nile, falls first ball! Has a mighty swing at a length delivery, goes up the air towards short third man...Rashid calmly takes a few steps backwards and shallows the catch. 174/7
10313.00300
13.1 to GJ Maxwell, watch a catch! He's struck first ball. But it's all down to Ben Stokes. It was a short ball, Maxwell fluffed his pull but it was still travelling wide of long on before Stokes ran around, diving to his right and pulled off a blinder. 124/3
