- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR149.4 edged and gone! Banton rocked back on the cut, but couldn't get over the ball, a thin tickle into the keeper's gloves, and a quite magnificent innings ends at 371! 670/7122.1 round the wicket, drilled back at the bowler's midriff! It almost blasts him off his feet, but he clings on brilliantly to end a wonderful knock. Rew utterly nailed that drive, but sadly for him it was straight at Brookes in his followthrough, in fact, it was almost behind him by the time he had it in his grasp. Remarkable take 511/5Extras16 (b 4, lb 5, nb 4, w 3)TOTAL670/7d (149.4 Overs, RR: 4.47)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Archie Vaughan, 6.2 ov), 2-33 (Tom Lammonby, 10.5 ov), 3-39 (Sean Dickson, 13.3 ov), 4-140 (Tom Abell, 35.4 ov), 5-511 (James Rew, 122.1 ov), 6-561 (Kasey Aldridge, 134.5 ov), 7-670 (Tom Banton, 149.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR152.4 A big stride from D'Oliveira as Vaughan pitches it a foot outside off, and up goes the finger as he's playing no shot! Gosh, that ball had a l-o-o-o-o-n-g way to go, and to turn... D'Oliveira is aghast, as a magnificent rearguard ends with plenty work still to be done 398/7Extras40 (b 13, lb 7, nb 18, w 2)TOTAL485/9 (200 Overs, RR: 2.42)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Gareth Roderick, 6.4 ov), 2-40 (Jake Libby, 17.1 ov), 3-95 (Ethan Brookes, 32.2 ov), 4-116 (Kashif Ali, 38.1 ov), 5-274 (Adam Hose, 85.1 ov), 6-288 (Adam Finch, 93.2 ov), 7-398 (Brett D'Oliveira, 152.4 ov), 8-436 (Ben Allison, 164.5 ov), 9-469 (Tom Taylor, 185.3 ov)
