Faulkner to Peirson, out Bowled!! And not even a single now. Full, quick, straight and Peirson in looking for some extravagance, makes a lot of room, looks to go over the covers but the ball dips sharply, going well under the bat to find the middle of middle. Peirson b Faulkner 50(48) [4s-3 6s-2]

Faulkner to Peirson, 1 run, moves away further, doesn't get the room still, or the length to get under either, but still muscles it down to long-off neatly. His 50

David Moody to Ross, out Caught by Wade!! Finally a tickle drawn. Hits the hard heavy good length just outside off, makes Ross poke, which he does in the form of a very half-hearted drive, and the ball straightens past to take a feather on the outside edge through to the keeper. But it's been a fine, fine innings, rescuing his side from the dumps. Ross c Wade b David Moody 62(35) [4s-8 6s-1]

David Moody to Ross, FOUR, neat yorker. Just an edge from Ross. But he's educated it bang in the gap. Ross just throws his bat out, runs it off the thick outside chunk, through the empty cordon

David Moody to Ross, FOUR, full toss, juicy, Ross clubs it away down the ground, without looking to overhit and merely holding his pose as he pockets a boundary - bringing up the 100-run stand between the duo, in just 72 balls

Faulkner to Peirson, SIX, walks way across his stumps, sits under the length, making it into one in his slogging slot. And slogs. Deep into the second tier over long-on

D Arcy Short to Ross, 1 run, turned away from the line of middle, through mid-wicket. It's his fifty with that -- off a mere 29 balls

D Arcy Short to Ross, FOUR, oh the horror gets worse - short, further down leg and all Ross has to do is tickele - and he pulls in fact, very fine

D Arcy Short to Ross, FOUR, too short now. Ross goes behind, opening his stance up big time for a muscular heave, flat, powering it away through mid-wicket

Jofra Archer to Peirson, FOUR, 146kph, and it disppears quicker. Peirson has a very tennis-like forehand, waiting on the ball to smash it straight down the ground

Jofra Archer to Peirson, FOUR, goes back, away, then returns to his earlier stance in a very straight slice, getting it through sweeper, where McDermott tries his best to run across from point, pulls it back in, but the momentum gets it to trickle over

D Arcy Short to Ross, SIX, top-edge, kept Archer very interested, before sailing over the ropes, the top-spinner from Short, Ross didn't spot it as he went for the sweep, couldn't roll his wrists over, got a fat top-edge that has enough to clear the leaping fielder at deep square leg

David Moody to Brendon McCullum, out Caught by Bailey!! Oh dear! McCullum falls now and Heat are falling apart. McCullum came running down the track, doesn't get the needed length on the lofted shot, slices it high and over mid-off, Bailey ran back, kept his eyes under the misty sun, juggled once and then held on. Three wickets in four balls and Heat are in a proper mire now. Brendon McCullum c Bailey b David Moody 3(11)

Jofra Archer to Renshaw, out Caught by Wade!! A first-ball duck for Renshaw and Heat are in tatters once again. Archer is on a hat-trick now, short of a length and angling across the left-hander, had Renshaw feeling for the ball, gets a faint edge and Wade does the rest. Renshaw c Wade b Jofra Archer 0(1)

Jofra Archer to Chris Lynn, out Caught by Bailey!! Yet another failure for Lynn, Archer hit the deck hard on a good length delivery, Lynn was backing away on the lofted drive, high off the bat and spooned a simple catch to mid-off, it's Bailey out there and he doesn't drop those. Chris Lynn c Bailey b Jofra Archer 10(9) [4s-2]

Clive Rose to Chris Lynn, FOUR, that's a fine strike - mid-on was inside the ring and Lynn was looking to go over him, didn't go too hold on the shot, couple of bounces and it trickled over the ropes

Faulkner to Bryant, out Caught by Jofra Archer!! That's a seriously good catch from Archer, not just took a wicket - but he saved six runs for his team. Length delivery and Bryant clouted it towards deep mid-wicket. Archer ran across to his right, steadied himself and took a one-handed catch - right in front of the ropes - realized that he was going over the boundary rope, threw the ball back in, stepped out and then stepped back in, before taking the rebound. Bryant c Jofra Archer b Faulkner 7(11) [4s-1]

Faulkner to Bryant, FOUR, that's the first boundary of the noon, back of a length and just outside off, Bryant waits on it, opens the face of the bat and runs it past the diving short third man fielder for a boundary
