- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.2 Slower ball does the trick! Length ball on the stumps angling in, back of the hand ball, clears the front leg and tries to whip it away, misses the cross-bat whack and hits the inner thigh pad. Brown wasn't willing to review after the quick chat with Hassan but opted to send it at the very last moment. No bat is involved, confirmed by Snicko. Pitching and impact are in line, and clipping the leg stump. Umpire's call, and Brown's magnificent innings comes to an end. 146/51.6 Straight up in the air and taken at mid-on! Hard length ball with slight deviation outside off, Seifert plays the shorthand jab and mistimes the stroke again, connects the toe-end of the bat and clips it to Rauf at the edge of the circle. 15/18.1 JFM has holed out! Slight fuller on the fifth stump line, plays it inside-out and connects the outside part of the bat, pace off the ball and miscues it to deep cover. 74/212.4 Harper grabs a brilliant one! Change of bat doesn't work for Rizwan tonight. Widish fuller length ball, charges down the track and throws his bat at it, extends his arms and only manages to edge the ball towards the first slip area. Harper dives fully stretched to his right side and pouches it. 102/312.5 Gone! First ball duck! Slower through the air back of a length ball on the leg stump line, moves onto the back foot and tries to glance it away, mistimes the stroke and chips it to the short midwicket fielder. Soft dismissal! 102/419.1 Slower through the air ball around off, Hassan swings his bat at it and skies it high towards midwicket area; fielder rushes in from the boundary area and completes the catch. 158/718.3 caught at long on! No Sutherland fireworks tonight with the bat! Bowls a short pitched ball outside off, plays the pull shot away from the body and drags it towards log on. Cartwright moves to his right side and gobbles it up with the reverse cup technique. 155/6Extras12 (lb 5, w 7)TOTAL166/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.3)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Tim Seifert, 1.6 ov), 2-74 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 8.1 ov), 3-102 (Mohammad Rizwan, 12.4 ov), 4-102 (Caleb Jewell, 12.5 ov), 5-146 (Josh Brown, 17.2 ov), 6-155 (Will Sutherland, 18.3 ov), 7-158 (Hassan Khan, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 width on offer, fuller length ball driven through the covers, goes for the double there. JFM collects it cleanly and sends a bullet throw at the bowler's end. Rogers was just a fraction short of his ground as Stow collected the ball and clipped the bails off. A soft appeal from the fielders is all it takes; they've made the breakthrough! 84/18.1 Kellaway gifted his wicket away! Short of a length ball, gets down on one knee and plays the slog sweep, connects the leading edge and picks out the deep backward square leg fielder near the ropes 92/2Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL170/2 (15.5 Overs, RR: 10.73)Fall of wickets: 1-84 (Thomas Rogers, 7.3 ov), 2-92 (Campbell Kellaway, 8.1 ov)
