- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.6 full and wide yorker, slices this to backward point. Simple catch taken on the ring at head height. 127/34.3 full near leg stump, goes to sweep and misses, big lbw shout upheld. There was a touch of doubt about whether this pitched in line with the stumps but Gilkes walks off without a discussion with Hales about whether or not to refer it. It was definitely smashing the stumps. But Gilkes felt he was far enough across his stumps for the ball to be pitching in line. 39/18.2 slower ball wider on a good length on off, goes to heave this high over long-on but doesn't get any power behind the shot and it floats gently to de Grandhomme 10 yards in from the rope at long-on for a chest high catch. 64/217.4 shin high full toss on sixth stump, Davies tries to whack this over the leg side but skews this in the air toward Rashid at long-on who takes a simple waist high catch 10 yards in from the rope. 136/418.3 full and wide on seventh stump, tries to shuffle across his stumps to scoop this over fine leg but the slower ball has not enough pace to clear the ring fielder Agar who takes a basic catch at head height on the ring. 140/5Extras4 (w 4)TOTAL150/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.5)Fall of wickets: 1-39 (Matthew Gilkes, 4.3 ov), 2-64 (Rilee Rossouw, 8.2 ov), 3-127 (Alex Hales, 15.6 ov), 4-136 (Oliver Davies, 17.4 ov), 5-140 (Daniel Sams, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 full and wide outside off, drives this loosely in the air but carries out to the deep point fielder at head height. That's generally a saving one run position but he's taken a catch. 9/114.3 yorker on middle stump, shuffles across and misses a flick across the line, big lbw shout upheld. Short takes nearly the full time allotment before reviewing. This will be 90 seconds of our lives we'll never get back. It was smashing middle and leg stump. Sure enough, three reds light up on ball-tracking. Short walks off. 110/311.2 bullseye! Lynn might want to check his bat to see if there's a hole in it. He's swung over the top of a shin high full toss and the ball has pinged into off stump at about ankle height. Only the most generous of viewers could realistically call that a yorker. McAndrew definitely meant to bowl a yorker, but in truth it was a meaty full toss that Lynn just flat out missed. It swung in a fraction late but still shout have had some bat on it. 92/217.5 full and wide on the guideline, slices this to the sweeper for what should be a simple one but they try to come back for a dicey second and the relay from Sams to the keeper is in time to get the bails off with de Grandhomme four inches short. 142/4Extras9 (lb 6, w 3)TOTAL151/4 (18.4 Overs, RR: 8.08)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Jake Weatherald, 2.1 ov), 2-92 (Chris Lynn, 11.2 ov), 3-110 (Matthew Short, 14.3 ov), 4-142 (Colin de Grandhomme, 17.5 ov)
