- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR144.5 another reverse-sweep, tapped behind square, through backward point, but he's gone and run himself out! It was a sharp pick-up from Holden in the deep, and a good flat shy. Gay turned for the second, flung himself at the crease, but was caught short. The only way this mighty innings was going to end. What a shame, but what a knock! 493/5Extras11 (b 1, lb 6, nb 2, w 2)TOTAL552/6d (152 Overs, RR: 3.63)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Justin Broad, 1.1 ov), 2-190 (Luke Procter, 66.3 ov), 3-276 (Karun Nair, 87.6 ov), 4-312 (Rob Keogh, 97.2 ov), 5-493 (Emilio Gay, 144.5 ov), 6-520 (Saif Zaib, 147.4 ov)
