- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.1 out first ball! It hits him in line of leg stump, but pitched outside leg! Willey's really lucky here, as he gets his countryman. It was a full ball that Roy attempts to defend down the wrong line. Wiley's appeal was loud, though, and the umpire took his time. Replays, however, show that it did not pitch in line at all. Roy walks off, clearly unhappy 27/18.1 another first-ball wicket! Or is it? Overpitched outside off and the batsman's deceived due to the flight. Races down the track and the ball dips under his swinging bat. The keeper fumbles at first, but does enouh to grab the ball and break the stumps on his second attempt. Nevill did well to turn around and slide his bat in, but not well enough! The bat's on the line.. he's gotta go! 61/211.2 full outside off, slogged down the ground but it's mistimed! Tye is getting underneath it at long on... but he's too close to the ropes! Takes the catch but pops it up as he sees he's going over, but his foot hits the rope and he slips! Somehow holds on to the catch despite the slip, and the umpires reckon it's a fair catch. Big tumble taken from Tye while trying to complete that. Not pretty, but gets the job done 81/317.5 that's trademark Tye! Ultra slow knuckle ball on middle and leg and Billings tries to slog this inside out. No power behind that shot, as he's through it too early.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.3 short outside off and that's a wild pull. The bat turns in his hand, and it takes a top edge through to the keeper. Simple catch and Willey's gone after five balls 4/118.4 It's a big hit, but it doesn't have the distance! Holes out. Slow ball on middle and it's slogged cross-batted, the fielder at cow corner takes his time to settle under it, before completing a clean catch. A twist in the tale! 153/42.6 Hesitation, and that's a horrific run out! Full ball on middle and it's turned to square leg. He takes off for the run, but Klinger sends him back. He's stranded in the middle, as the throw comes in on top of the stumps. Nevill does the rest and the aggressive Cartwright must go 17/214.5 full and wide outside off, lifted over the infield but not enough power behind this shot. Had the elevation, but not the distance, and it's taken by Silk at long off. The bat turned in his hand, probably because of the lack of pace from the bowler 113/3Extras8 (lb 2, w 6)TOTAL170/4 (19.1 Overs, RR: 8.86)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (David Willey, 1.3 ov), 2-17 (Hilton Cartwright, 2.6 ov), 3-113 (Ashton Turner, 14.5 ov), 4-153 (Michael Klinger, 18.4 ov)
