Motie b Joshua Little 18(8) [6s-2]

He raises his bat and acknowledges the applause of his team mates

Was a back of a length delivery, not much room on it and Keacy Carty backed away to thwack it but ended up edging it to the keeper.

1.3
4
Thomas Mayes to Lewis, FOUR, almost a repeat of the first ball. Once more short and slanted across, Lewis stays back and cracks it in front of square this time, he rolled his wrists and hence the placement was perfect
1.1
4
Thomas Mayes to Lewis, FOUR, Lewis too opens his account with a boundary. Short of length angled across, Lewis rides the bounce and punches it square on the off-side. No need to run for that
0.4
