Ajaz Patel to Todd Astle, FOUR, down the ground and long-on can't cut it off. Flighted delivery from Ajaz Patel, Astle lofts it nicely for a boundary

Ajaz Patel to Leo Carter, out Caught by Tom Bruce!! And the Central Districts continue to impress in the field. Another decent catch and this time around it's Bruce who takes it. Leo Carter plays an uppish chip and finds the fielder diving forward at covers. Leo Carter c Tom Bruce b Ajaz Patel 21(23) [4s-2 6s-1]

Ben Wheeler to Leo Carter, FOUR, crucial runs for Canterbury, these. Another short ball outside off and Leo Carter slices it to the same region for four more

Doug Bracewell to Leo Carter, SIX, short ball on middle and leg, Leo Carter swivels and puts it away over the deep square leg fence for half a dozen

Tickner to Cam Fletcher, out Caught&Bowled!! Wickets continue to tumble as Cam Fletcher departs for a golden duck. Tickner surprises the batsman with a short ball as he hurries him up. The batsman was in no position to play that as he swings his bat blindly and also one hand comes off while doing so. Catches the top-edge, strikes his helmet and lobs towards the bowler who continues to run in his followthrough as he takes it before the ball hits the floor. Cam Fletcher c and b Tickner 0(1)

Tickner to Andrew Ellis, out Caught by Doug Bracewell!! This is insane catching by the Central Districts. Andrew Ellis had mistimed his pull towards mid-wicket where Bracewell flew to his right and plucked it out of thin air. Who says Kiwis can't fly? Andrew Ellis c Doug Bracewell b Tickner 1(8)

Doug Bracewell to McConchie, out Caught by Dean Foxcroft!! The ball is following Foxcroft. Takes his third catch of the match. McConchie was down the wicket to slog the length delivery and the ball went high up in the air. Dean keeps his eyes on the ball, his head still and cups the skier at deep mid-wicket. Never easy to take these catches. McConchie c Dean Foxcroft b Doug Bracewell 15(13) [4s-2]

Tickner to Latham, out Caught by Dean Foxcroft!! First wicket for Tickner and the second catch for Foxcroft. A soft dismissal, that was. In the channel outside off, on a full length and Latham chips it straight to point. Dean fumbles on his first attempt but manages to take it on the second. Latham had started walking even before the fielder caught it, didn't even bother to check whether the catch was taken. Latham c Dean Foxcroft b Tickner 18(17) [4s-2]

Rance to McConchie, FOUR, make it two! Tad short around middle and leg, very close to his body and McConchie hammers it through the gap at mid-wicket to end the over with four runs

Rance to McConchie, FOUR, McConchie hits a boundary on the first ball after resumption. A length delivery outside off and the skipper punches it through covers, for his first boundary of the innings

Ben Wheeler to McConchie, no run, dropped by Wheeler! McConchie had advanced down the track and he chipped the short ball back to the bowler. However, the bowler had hardly any time to react so he couldn't latch on to it, even though he got his hands to it

Ben Wheeler to Latham, FOUR, another one! On the pads and it's been clipped through square leg with precision, beating the fielder's chase in the deep quite easily

Ben Wheeler to Latham, FOUR, first one of the innings for Latham! In the channel outside off and Latham carves it through the gap at point for his first boundary

Rance to Murdoch, out Caught by Dean Foxcroft!! That's an unbelievable catch by Dean Foxcroft at backward point. Murdoch had played a square cut and Foxcroft swings to his left to pull of a blinder in his left hand. Hardly had any time to react, such fine reflexes. Can watch this catch over and over again. Murdoch c Dean Foxcroft b Rance 0(3)

Ben Wheeler to Bowes, out Caught by Rance!! Superb catch by Rance at third man. Bowes had played an upper cut towards third man where the fielder moves to his left and takes a solid low catch with a slide in the deep. Bowes c Rance b Ben Wheeler 6(8) [4s-1]

Ben Wheeler to Bowes, FOUR, creamed through cover-point! On a length outside off, Bowes holds his shape and slams it through the gap at cover-point
