    0.4 edge? Or unlucky? Fletcher drives loosely at a full ball away from his body. Big noise and some deviation as the ball passes the bat. But it could have been bat on ground and just natural swing from Meredith. Mild appeal from the bowler and keeper but not screaming as if their life depends on it by any means. Umpire gives it out. Fletcher can't believe it. 11/1

    4.6 David made that adventurous at midwicket in the ring but holds on! Short on off stump, Larkin tries to pull this over midwicket but it climbs on him and he gets a top-edge that swirls over midwicket in the ring. David runs back and reaches up with hands in front of his face, it bursts through and clonks him on the chin but gets a fortunate carom that pops up gently for him to claim on the rebound. He's massaging his jaw now, won't hurt as badly as it would have had he dropped it. 39/2
    7.2 premeditates a switch/reverse hit to a googly and pays the price. Flighted full on off stump and spins toward middle, Maxwell's timing is off and is plunked in the box low on the crease having missed the shot trying to crack this through the off side. Huge appeal given out. Looked ugly in so many ways. Always dicey playing across the line sweeping/reverse sweeping/switch hitting to a spinner. 49/3

    13.2 drags on! Pooran done in by the slower ball. Bowled full on fifth stump, in the slot to crack if he kept his hands back but he's through the shot a touch early and the bottom edge caroms back onto leg stump. Clever variation from Ellis picks up a big scalp. 109/4
    18.5 length ball on sixth stump at full pace, tries to heave to the leg side but drags it onto his stumps. Not the best ball Ellis has bowled this innings but if anything it's the constant changes of pace that have thrown off Cartwright's timing. 165/5
    18.6 slower ball full on fifth stump, Gotch tries to ramp this over the keeper shuffling wide outside off, but flicks it too straight up in the air. McDermott shuffles right and takes this closer to short third man. 165/6

    18.6 The Spiceman is winning this match in the field! Thigh high full toss wide outside off, flays this flat over extra cover, Fletcher races 10 yards left and flings his body more like Superman to intercept this with another sterling catch. Would've been six had he not been in the way. Two match-winning catches in the last several overs by the man from Grenada. 10 out of 10 from all the Olympic judges. 163/5
    4.4 full length ball, tries to carve this over cover, slices this too square, more than he probably intended and it carries to the point sweeper, easy catch at head height by Larkin three yards inside the rope. 23/1
    12.3 flighted straighter on fourth stump, Malan shuffles across and misses a sweep. Big lbw shout upheld. Live shot it looked like he was struck marginally in line with off stump, given out for the shot more than anything. Replays show he was struck just about in line with off stump and the ball was straightening enough to probably take out off. Zampa gets the benefit of the doubt. 89/2
    16.5 what a catch! Was going to take something special to break the momentum and Fletcher has done this at cover sweeper! Full and wide, slices this in the air over extra cover and Fletcher charges in misreading it at first then adjusts his line as the ball backspins tailing away and moves back toward the rope at the last moment diving right and sticks the landing. The Spiceman gets up and wiggles his hips in a celebratory dance. 139/3
    17.3 knee high full toss on sixth stump, David tries to drag this over midwicket instead of going with the angle through the off side and drags this onto his stumps. Not Rainbird's best ball but good enough to take a wicket. 147/4
    19.4 full on fifth stump, Handscomb walks way across his stumps to try to shovel this over fine leg and misses, it caroms off the pads behind square leg and they come back for a suicide second to try to keep the match alive but Zampa races from short fine leg and relays sharply to the keeper to deny the second. 171/6
