Ali Khan to Michael Pepper, 1 run, did that carry? Slower short of length delivery outside off, Michael Pepper flays at it but mistimes it towards deep point. Aayan Khan moves in front and dives but it just lands short of him and then carries. Ali Khan is not pleased. Perhaps Aayan didn't pick it early and was a bit late to take off

Azmatullah to Michael Pepper, no run, the Giants review for a lbw! Was a length delivery that seamed in from around off, Michael Pepper was stuck in the crease as he tried to work it across but got beaten on the inside edge to get struck above the knee roll. Height might be an issue. Over to ball-tracking and hitting is umpire's call. The Giants don't lose the review

Mark Adair to Michael Pepper, FOUR, flashes and flashes hard! Michael Pepper uses his feet and moves leg-side in the process. Creates some width for himself and throws his bat at it. Slices it over backward point for a one-bounce boundary

Mark Adair to Michael Pepper, FOUR, streaky but counts! Full delivery swinging in from outside off, Michael Pepper goes for a drive with hands and gets it off the outer half past the right side of short third to pick up a boundary
