- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.2 there's the dab from Brathwaite! Full on middle stump, he goes deep into the crease and tries to work this towards the leg side, misses and this time impact on his pads is in front of middle stump. Big appeal from the West Indian, and the umpire gives Uzi the slow finger of death 39/19.2 tossed up outside off, and it's hit powerfully down the ground, but not off the middle of the bat. Down long on's throat 58/36.5 pulls, but plays on! Back of a length outside off, tries to pull this behind square after swiveling but the ball takes a bottom edge and crashes into middle stump. That's a big wicket 48/210.4 another breakthrough! Good length but wide outside off, Ferguson goes chasing at it, and slashes it uppishly over point, but taken easily by Denly at deep backward point 63/417.3 good length on middle stump, tapped off the back foot to midwicket. They want the quick single, and get it despite the direct hit at the non-striker's. Green now wants the second run, but the ball is very close to the bowler. He throws it at the keeper and Green is stranded. Falls for 49, trying to get to 50. 129/617.1 This time Silk takes the catch! Short on middle stump, and Nair tries to pull this into the stands. Not hit well enough, and good effort from the fielding running in.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.6 the wrong'un gets him the wicket! Full outside off, enticing the batsman to come down the ground, it's the offspinner from the back of the hand, and the ball zips through between bat and pad. Takes the top of off stump, and Denly has to go 69/116.1 full outside off, wild slash at it, takes the top edge. Terrific catch from Rohrer at short third man. Had to run backwards to take the catch. 127/2Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL157/2 (20 Overs, RR: 7.85)Fall of wickets: 1-69 (Joe Denly, 8.6 ov), 2-127 (Nic Maddinson, 16.1 ov)
