- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.4 legbreak, thick outside edge flies straight to short third! Lynn didn't read the spin away from him, trying to swing him away over the leg side, and this was a simple chance for Pennington to snaffle. Livingstone makes the breakthrough 95/119.5 low full toss, 92mph, chipped down to Livingstone at long-off. They come back for the second which isn't there, and Benjamin whips the bails off 143/811.4 tossed up, full and straight, straight up... Livingstone settles underneath it! Captain gets captain. Looking to go over long-on again, but a huge skier via the top edge. Livingstone ambles around, settles underneath it, and takes a simple chance 103/213.4 holes out to long-off! Thompson's power wasn't enough this time. This nipped in like a legcutter, meaning less room for Thompson to free his arms. Allen settles under it, moving to his left 114/314.3 tossed up, full outside off, and Abell takes an excellent catch at point! Good fightback by Phoenix here, and Livingstone has three wickets. Slapped away through the off side but Abell dived to his right to take a smart grab 118/417.2 thick outside edge flies to short third! Looked like a back-of-the-hander, which Simpson didn't pick. He backed away, and it skewed away to Pennington on the 45 133/519.2 yorker, knocked him over! 92mph, crashing into the base of off stump. Masterclass from Milne. Raine was beaten all ends up. You could hear a pin drop at Headingley. This innings has nose-dived 140/619.3 banged in, slapped straight to extra cover! Milne is on a hat-trick. Cross-batted straight to Smeed.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.5 slows it up, spins this away, stumped! Parkinson breaks the stand, punches the air - possibly out of relief, as much as anything. Allen danced down and was beaten in the flight, he'll head off but his job's about done 112/20.4 dragged on first ball! Smeed heads straight off, wicket for Willey in the opening set. Slanted across from over the wicket and the young gun couldn't resist trying to pull the trigger, but an angled bat sent an inside edge bouncing up to dislodge the leg bail 6/1Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL147/2 (14.4 Overs, RR: 9.93 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Will Smeed, 0.4 ov), 2-112 (Finn Allen, 10.5 ov)
