Sam Curran to Tymal Mills, out Tymal Mills Run Out!! Craig Overton had to get on strike but Tymal Mills is run-out. It's a slower-ball outside the leg-stump, Mills swings and misses, Billings lobs the ball to Sam Curran who under-arms direct and Mills is caught short. No need to go upstairs too. Tymal Mills run out (Billings/Sam Curran) 4(2) [4s-1]

Nathan Sowter to Cartwright, SIX, this is a dreadful delivery, dragged down on the stumps, Cartwright goes on the back foot and pulls 90m into the crowd at deep square-leg, this is very poor bowling

Rashid Khan to James Coles, out Lbw!! Three in that set for Rashid Khan and it's an excellent review. Quicker and skids on to middle and leg, James Coles looks to lap and misses, hit just above the kneeroll on the pad and it's three reds. Looked out to the naked eye and the ump turned it down. Rashid Khan had a chat with Billings and the latter went for the review. It's crashing into the stumps and the original decision has to be overturned. James Coles lbw b Rashid Khan 7(6)

Rashid Khan to Michael Bracewell, out Bowled!! Two in two. Michael Bracewell falls to the sweep. Very full on off and middle, Bracewell looks for a lap and misses, it's flicked the pad and then falls on the stumps. Rashid Khan is on a hat-trick now. Michael Bracewell b Rashid Khan 0(1)

Rashid Khan to Roy, out Caught by Billings!! Straight off the toe and then caught by Billings. Full on middle, Roy goes for a big reverse-sweep and it's a thick inside-edge on to boot and Billings takes an easy catch. Initially they appealed for LBW and then for the catch. Clear inside-edge and Roy is not happy it's given, he feels some part of the ball touched the ground before it hit the boot. Roy c Billings b Rashid Khan 5(11)

Tom Curran to Laurie Evans, out Bowled!! Tom Curran is involved in all three dismissals so far. He looks absolutely thrilled. Gets some grip off the surface on this length delivery, Evans made room a bit too early and exposed all three sticks in the process. Wanted to cut, but couldn't get his bat in line with the ball. The ball wobbles in a touch and hits the top of off. Laurie Evans b Tom Curran 8(7) [4s-2]

Tom Curran to Laurie Evans, FOUR, smart cricket from Laurie Evans! Shuffles early and scoops the back of the hand slower delivery over short fine. The length was full and Evans got the desired connection on that..

Behrendorff to Leus du Plooy, out Caught by Tom Curran!! Excellent start this for the Invincibles. Behrendorff has dismissed both the openers. Once again it's the shorter length that does the job. Leus du Plooy tries to slog leg-side, but the line was well wide of off stump. A thick top-edge and Tom Curran runs back from short third to accept the opportunity. Made a relatively tough catch look easy there. Leus du Plooy c Tom Curran b Behrendorff 13(7) [4s-1 6s-1]

Jordan Clark to Leus du Plooy, FOUR, Leus du Plooy uses his feet, meets the ball on a fuller length and drills it to the right of the diving fielder at mid-off. The fielder got a hand to it, but couldn't stop it cleanly...

Jordan Clark to Leus du Plooy, SIX, short at the hip, Leus du Plooy whips and manages to clear the leaping fielder at deep square to his left. That was a teaser and Ferreira did exceedingly well to get close to the ball...

Behrendorff to James Vince, out Caught by Tom Curran!! There's the reward for Jason Behrendorff. He throws this wide of off stump and lures Vince into taking the bait. A flashy cut from Vince and the thick outside edge flies straight to Tom Curran at short third. James Vince c Tom Curran b Behrendorff 7(7) [4s-1]
