- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.2 another short ball outside the off stump. Not as wide as the previous ball, but closer to the off stump. Wade decides to go for the pull and doesn't play it well enough. He top-edges the pull to midwicket where Gotch takes the catch 57/30.4 and he gets Short with the first ball that he bowls to him! He comes forward to a ball pitched on the middle stump. It hits him above the knee roll. There is an appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Short isn't happy as he feels it might have bounced over the stumps. Spin is a weakness for Short and news of weakness travels pretty fast in Franchise cricket 2/14.6 and the Bailey Show comes to an end! Short and wide outside the off stump. Bread and Butter. Daal baath as people in Bangladesh love to call it. Bailey goes for the cut and doesn't get elevation on it as he cuts it to point. Worall doesn't let this one pass 53/211.4 fuller on the middle stump and goes with the angle. McDermott looks to play the sweep and is beaten. He is struck on the pad and it might have been going down leg. Yes, Hawk-eye confirms it 101/419.2 good length ball outside the off stump. Christian chases it and gets an outside edge back to the keeper 177/613.1 fuller ball outside the off stump. He comes down the track and drives it to cover. Hastings, the fielder at cover, doesn't have to move an inch, to cup his hands around the ball 107/519.5 comes forward and drives it back to the bowler. They decide to run anyway as it's the penultimate ball.

The top-edge flies to short third-man where the catch is taken. It brings an end to horror season for Ben Dunk 46/27.2 fuller ball outside the off stump. Faulkner slogs it to deep midwicket where the catch is taken. 56/39.2 comes forward and defends it to cover. Quiney sets off for a quick single, but the throw hits the stumps and after a lot of deliberation, Quiney is declared out.

He looks to flick it away and gets a leading edge back to the bowler 151/610.6 gets an outside edge back to the keeper and Hastings cameo comes to an end 104/516.2 struck in front of the middle stump and that's plumb 153/7Extras8 (b 1, lb 1, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL186/7 (19.1 Overs, RR: 9.7)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Peter Handscomb, 3.1 ov), 2-46 (Ben Dunk, 6.1 ov), 3-56 (James Faulkner, 7.2 ov), 4-71 (Rob Quiney, 9.2 ov), 5-104 (John Hastings, 10.6 ov), 6-151 (Kevin Pietersen, 15.5 ov), 7-153 (Seb Gotch, 16.2 ov)
