    1.3 And now Duffy rushes him into a top-edge! He bangs it in short, rising at his body. He cannot get under the ball as he tries to pull this. Phillips runs in from long leg to collect the catch 12/1

    14.2 Oh, my word Mark Chapman, you cannot do that! Insane catch from him at the deep midwicket fence. Wowza! Gently tossed up well outside off, he gets right across and slams the slog sweep. It seemed that the ball was going all the way, but Chapman intercepts, catches the ball inches off the boundary edge, and on realising that he is going over, has the presence of mind to relay the ball to Mitchell who is lurking around. Gives a thumbs up, and NZ have a wicket out of nowhere 119/2
    15.5 Another one bites the dust. A lovely low catch by Neesham at point. Short and wide, he cuts this hard but in the air and he can't place it well enough as well. Hammers this to the left of Neesham who dives low and hangs on 124/3
    18.6 That's that for Mayank. Slower offcutter dig into the surface outside off going away from Mayank. He looks for the pull but the ball gets big on him. He can only manage a big top-edge that balloons straight up with Santner at mid-off doing the rest 164/4
    19.5 Tries it again but finds Phillips at deep midwicket. Slower back of a length ball on off stump, Sohaib can't free his arms this time and pulls only as far as GP 173/5
    19.6 Two wickets to end the innings and UAE have finished on 173. Banged in short outside off stump, was the slower offcutter again at 118kph. He throws his hands at it, one hand off the bat handle and mistimes only has far as who else but ball-magnet Phillips at deep extra cover, who takes it comfortably 173/6
