    35.4 and now the other established Northern Districts batsman departs softly as Wilson came down and just tamely chipped it back to the bowler to hasten drinks 153/4

    48 goes for a pull with all his might to a slower short ball and he couldn't generate enough power on the shot as it lands in Elliott's lap five metres inside the rope 223/8

    45.2 Patel cleverly tosses this delivery up on off and it turns past Santner's attempted heave down the ground as he came down the wicket, Ronchi on this occasion adjusted sufficiently to collect the ball and break the stumps to bring an impetus-injecting innings to an end 211/5

    46.3 cleaned out by a length ball on middle as he inside-edges the pull into his back pad and onto the stumps, end of a painful attempt at late-over slogging by Kuggeleijn 212/6

    47.2 full. Fast. Yorker. Blockhole. Four elements which add up to a very handy delivery in the death overs of a one-day innings and Boult's desperate swing makes no contact as the stumps are comprehensively dismantled 216/7

    26.2 the New Zealand international strikes as it pitches around leg and moves towards middle past the attempted flick, the umpire had little hesitation in raising the finger 100/3

    8.5 Papps looks to pull a length ball on off which is too full for the stroke, top edges high in the air and the keeper Watling calls loud and clear before settling under it and completing the take 29/1

    19.4 brilliant catch taken on the cover boundary by Santner as he ran in and then dived forward before clinging onto a skied loft by Murdoch who didn't get to the pitch of Sodhi's turning leg-break pitched outside off 73/2

    47.4 what has Franklin done? Gives Northern Districts a glimmer of hope as he advances down and bizarrely looks to loft it over the long-off boundary, but picks out the fielder ten metres off the rope 216/6

    40.5 this is a classic left-arm spinner's dismissal, pitched on a good length on leg and got him reaching forward in defence, Elliott couldn't cover the line and it spun sharply past the bat and clipped the off stump 166/5
