Jeetan Patel to Shipley, out Cam Fletcher Run Out!! That's an unfortunate dismissal. Shipley gets dropped for the second time in as many overs, but his partner has to pay the price for it. Cricket's a great leveler, indeed. It was chipped right back to Jeetan Patel by the batsman, but he fails to grab it with his right arm, however, he does manage to ricochet the ball onto the stumps at his end. Fletcher who was backing up, is well short of his crease and that shall be seven down. Cam Fletcher run out (Jeetan Patel) 15(15) [4s-1]

Rachin Ravindra to Shipley, no run, Rachin Ravindra puts one down in his followthrough. Shipley had chipped this one back to the spinner, but he fails to cling on to it, could have been the seventh wicket down

Bennett to Bowes, FOUR, short and punished! There was width on offer, Bowes latches onto it and slaps it over cover-point as the ball races away to the fence. Only 6 runs of the opening over, not a bad one by Bennett
