    3.1 and he strikes immediately getting Lynn with a skier! Good length ball dragged wide on sixth stump, Lynn is teased into a slog aiming to clear cover and instead is through the shot a touch early, skying this to the captain Green at mid-off on the ring. Simple catch taken in front of his face backpedaling. Tahir drops to his knee with a fist raised int he empty ground rather than his traditional sprint and mug for the fans. 17/1
    5.4 bowled flat and wide as Lewis premeditates a shuffle down the pitch, can't call it a charge, and can't get bat trying to stab at it. Pooran collects it marvelously and whips the bails off with Lewis' back foot out. Lewis actually had part of his back foot behind the line while playing the shot but bizarrely dragged it out while trying to put his bat back across the line as Pooran took the bails off. 53/2
    6.4 strikes with the short ball! Bangs it in again and Kelly cracks this to Hetmyer at backward point, who takes a sharp catch at head height reaching up to his right. Paul jogs off and pulls out a black cloth Covid-19 black cloth mask, puts it over his mouth and ears and orders everyone away for social distancing in an orchestrated celebration before taking it off and carrying on with high fives. Keemo has had a bit too much time on his hands thinking up that one. 55/3
    10.2 cutter banged in short and tailing down leg. Ramdin's timing is off as he tries to flick this down leg with a pull and instead it kisses the face of the bat and goes gently to Pooran behind the stumps, who shuffles in sync to collect as the appeal is upheld after a slight ponder by the umpire. Let the Da Silva debate intensify! 78/4
    17.2 slower bouncer this time on middle, Dunk adjusts to tap this along the ground through midwicket and sets off looking for two all the way. Keemo Paul isn't having any of it charging in from the rope and scoops just outside the 30-yard ring before firing a bullet to Pooran over the stumps on one bounce, who whips the bails off to deny Dunk's desperate dive by three feet. 115/7
    11.5 another googly and this time Hamilton can't get the benefit of the doubt. Prods forward to try to smother this spinning in after pitching on fourth stump. Hit in front of middle on the front foot, Tahir consistently spins this googly hard. Another umpire may have judged it would be missing leg but Tahir's eyes-bulging appeal is convincing enough. 83/5
    16.4 another short ball, this time with a bit more pace on it and Emrit skews it off the top edge to Taylor at mid-on, who shuffles forward on the ring to take this catch lunging forward on his knees. Paul breaks out the black Covid-19 mask to wrap around his mouth and ears in a made for TV celebration, or more accurately a meditation, that this time involves him squatting on the turf. 111/6
    19.4 short on the legs, pulled in the air straight to Shepherd at deep square leg, who takes shuffles a few strides right, then corrects back left to take this at chest height 15 yards in from the rope. Paul keeps his Covid-19 mask in his pocket this time as they're trying to hustle to end the innings. 126/8

    2.2 soft dismissal. Just a gentle pace delivery angled across fourth stump on a good length, not much footwork and toe-slapped to Hamilton at extra cover, who shuffles right one step and takes this at head height. 12/1
    7.5 floats a googly on middle, Hemraj slogs against the spin and skies this over the bowler. It lands between long-on and long-off. Drakes fields and fires a bullet to the striker's end. Hemraj is not expecting a throw of any kind, let alone one coming to his end. Ramdin stands statuesque behind the stumps to not give away the danger that is about to meet Hemraj as the one bounce throw clips the top of the stumps to deny a second run and send Hemraj off. Looked like a wicket when it came skied off the bat, winds up being out eventually. 59/2
    16.2 Hetmyer tries to end it with one blow, but winds up perishing on the long-on rope. Length ball on sixth stump, he's carted similar balls over midwicket all night but this one splices off the toe of the bat and hangs in the air to be taken a yard in from the boundary. Three wickets remain. Patriots still hanging on. Stranger things have happened.... 124/7
    12.6 full on the legs, whipped straight along the ground to short fine leg. Three yards either side and it's four. Hetmyer sets off responding to Taylor's call but looks over his shoulder to see Lynn fielding. If he kept going was an easy run but Taylor pays the price for Hetmyer's ballwatching as Hetmyer turns back. The man with a reconstructed shoulder lobs a throw to the bowler's end and Taylor pays the price with both men at the same end. 96/3
    13.1 back of a length on fifth stump, climbs a touch as Pooran wafts away from his body, healthy edge through to Ramdin as Emrit runs away with a finger aloft. 96/4
    15.5 length ball pitches on fifth stump and skids in from around the wicket. Keeps a touch low too as Rutherford is caught flat-footed heaving for midwicket and it goes under the bat to clang off stump. 120/5
    15.6 not his night with the bat though! Emrit skids this fullish length ball in from fourth stump, Paul didn't move his feet prodding around his pads, hit below the knee in front of middle. He knows he's toast. Umpire sends him on his way after a brief pause. Would've taken out leg stump. 120/6
