- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.2 holes out to deep midwicket this time. Pollard is quite square in that position. Dean goes for another pull but his top hand comes off the grip and he's ended up lobbing this up for an easy catch. Another back of a length ball on middle stump and the option finally fails for Dean 19/113.6 taken at short third man. Another slower ball. Another curtailed cut. Lobs up off the thick outside edge and the fielder goes down with the ball, manages to snap it up just in time with a lunge forward 123/215.2 superb catch by Ludeman! Short ball just outside off. Looks to hook but that climbs too steeply for him. Gets a top edge that's about to sail over the keeper but he leaps high with his right hand to grab it 135/317.4 yorker on off stump finds its target. Wells down early to try and ramp over short fine leg but the ball sneaks under his attempt 149/418.4 can't clear mid-off. It's still a nice hitting length from Wildermuth. But he has rolled his fingers on this to disturb his timing. Looks to lift it straight but can't get the elevation 159/5Extras5 (b 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL178/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.9)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Jono Dean, 1.2 ov), 2-123 (Jake Weatherald, 13.6 ov), 3-135 (Colin Ingram, 15.2 ov), 4-149 (Jonathan Wells, 17.4 ov), 5-159 (Jake Lehmann, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.1 chips straight to mid-on. Bouncer gets big on White who is on the front foot. Looks to hook but that's too quick for him. Gets it high on the bat and straight to the fielder 10/18.2 finds deep midwicket! Head gets the breakthrough. Pushes it flat and into Harris as he steps out to cut out his room. He goes through with the shot and finds the fielder 81/29.1 picks out long-on! Both set batsmen gone and Strikers have a sniff. Full ball wide outside off. Goes for the slog sweep and ends up slicing it for a simple catch to the fielder out there 87/315.2 taken at backward point! Dean dives early to his right and it arrives slower than he expects. Does well to stay calm and keep his hands relaxed as he's falling to his right. Length ball outside off and he slashes hard to get a thick outside edge 139/4Extras11 (b 2, lb 3, w 6)TOTAL177/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.85)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Cameron White, 1.1 ov), 2-81 (Marcus Harris, 8.2 ov), 3-87 (Tim Ludeman, 9.1 ov), 4-139 (Dwayne Bravo, 15.2 ov)
