- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 Edged and gone! Good length ball darted on around the fourth stump line, Crawley plays off the front foot, beaten by the pace and got a thin outside edge of the bat, massive appeal but the umpire is unmoved, Verreynne wants to go upstairs straight away. Ultra Edge confirmed the spike as the ball passes the bat. Crawley departs for a duck 0/13.1 Loud appeal and given! Cross-seam delivery on middle-leg, premeditates the front foot drive, plays it across the line and failed to connect, strikes the front pad. The umpire raised his finger after the appeal, Bedingham decides to review it. Ultra Edge confirmed no bat involved, all three reds and hitting the middle-leg stump 14/31.6 Banged in short pitched ball, Abell moves back and attempts to pull it away over the square leg region, mistimed the shot and edged it straight to short fine leg 9/29.2 Beaten by the arm ball! Length ball with the arm angling in at the stumps, plays off the front foot expecting the turn of the ball, but this one kept straight on the wicket, plays across the line and hits the front pad, appeal and given! 49/49.5 Bowled by a JAFFA! Generously flighted ball around the off stump line, held on the pitch, sharp turn inwards, Stubbs played it off the back foot to the off-side, cramped for space and breaks the off stump. Stubbs is astonished by the delivery; the supporters are quiet, and even the live broadcast commentators are flabbergasted! 53/515.2 Bowled'em! Peach of a delivery on the off stump line, shaping in, slight deviation, huge gap between the bat-pad of Jansen, tried to play through the covers, misses the line and length, crashed onto the off stump. Neesham gets the breakthrough! 92/619.4 Neesham grabs a brilliant one-handed catch! Short of a length ball slaps it with the outside part of the bat, mishits it wide of extra cover. Neesham moved to his right side, dove full stretch, extending his right hand, and captured the ball with his right hand while diving forward. 145/7Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL149/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.45)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Zak Crawley, 0.2 ov), 2-9 (Tom Abell, 1.6 ov), 3-14 (David Bedingham, 3.1 ov), 4-49 (Jordan Hermann, 9.2 ov), 5-53 (Tristan Stubbs, 9.5 ov), 6-92 (Marco Jansen, 15.2 ov), 7-145 (Liam Dawson, 19.4 ov)
