W
Tom Curran to Duckett, out Caught by Laurie Evans!! A wicket off the last ball. Full slower ball on the stumps, Duckett swings and it's more height than distance, deep mid-wicket runs in and dives forward to take a well-judged catch. Duckett c Laurie Evans b Tom Curran 65(52) [4s-7 6s-1]
97

Tom Curran to Duckett, FOUR, poor ball, down leg and Duckett gets a tickle past Billings. Fine leg is too square
96
6
Tom Curran to Duckett, SIX, Duckett smashes that over mid-wicket. Waits for the slower length ball and heaves with a lot of power
93
F
Tom Curran to Duckett, 2 runs, a cutter which is dug into the pitch, stops on Duckett but he bunts the pull in front of mid-wicket. Comes back for two and that's a fifty for Duckett
88
Saqib Mahmood to Ryan Higgins, 1 run, short of length on off, Ryan Higgins gets inside the line and shuffles to glance to fine leg
87
W
Saqib Mahmood to Critchley, out Caught by Topley!! End of a nightmarish innings for Critchley. The slower short ball does him in, flat-batted without any timing and a simple catch to mid-off. Critchley c Topley b Saqib Mahmood 3(12)
72
W
Tom Curran to Neesham, out Caught by Billings!! Tom Curran is on a hat-trick. Neesham falls first ball. Short and Neesham is early into the pull, gets a top-edge to Billings. Simple really. Tom Curran brings out the aeroplane celebration. Neesham c Billings b Tom Curran 0(1)
71
W
Tom Curran to Leus du Plooy, out Caught by J Clark!! Clark makes up for the previous error with a good catch. Leus du Plooy slices it high on the off-side and Clark runs in from the sweeper fence to take it two-handed on the forward-dive. Leus du Plooy c J Clark b Tom Curran 17(12) [4s-2]

Shamsi to Leus du Plooy, FOUR, good sweep. All along the ground, Leus du Plooy gets low and finds the gap at deep backward square
64
4
Saqib Mahmood to Duckett, FOUR, tremendous late-cut. Fraction short outside off, Duckett delays the cut and then hammers it behind backward point. No chance for third man
63
4
Saqib Mahmood to Duckett, FOUR, innovative and Duckett pulls it off. Moves across outside off and then lifts this short of length delivery over the keeper. Had to get that right or else would've gone straight up
61
Saqib Mahmood to Leus du Plooy, 2 runs, tough catch and down it goes. Will Jacks the fielder. Leus du Plooy uses his feet and carves that in the air, towards sweeper cover, Jacks got there but on the forward-dive couldn't hang on as it dipped on him at the end
51
4
Will Jacks to Duckett, FOUR, Will Jacks begins with a short ball and Duckett doesn't miss out. Rocks back and pulls between long-on and deep mid-wicket

Shamsi to Leus du Plooy, FOUR, Jordan Clark has made a mess of it at deep mid-wicket. He was in too far from the fence. This is a flat slog-sweep and had Clark been right back, would've been straight into his hands, now he leaps and the ball clears him. Shamsi is a disappointed chap
43
W
Shamsi to Glenn Phillips, out Bowled!! Knocked him over. The orthodox leggie, tossed up and Glenn Phillips with a massive mow across the line, misses and the ball turns in to hit the stumps. Shamsi roars in delight. Glenn Phillips b Shamsi 8(11)

Narine to Duckett, FOUR, dragged down and Duckett pulls hard, bisects the two men on the fence - at long-on and deep mid-wicket
22
4
Saqib Mahmood to Duckett, FOUR, again. Last over we saw the same shot and now he does it again. Good length delivery on off, wristily tucked wide of mid-wicket and the ball keeps gaining pace as it runs away

4
Tom Curran to Duckett, FOUR, top top shot. Duckett uses his feet and just works this through mid-wicket and the ball keeps running away from the chasing fielder. Fantastic timing the key there
12
W
Topley to Duckett, out Cobb Run Out!! Two in two. Weird weird way to get out. Pushed back down the track and Topley on the dive gets a finger, Cobb was watching it all the way, had the bat inside the crease till the last moment, then inexplicably as the ball is about to hit the stumps, looks for a run and lifts his bat. That's the exact moment he is short of the crease. That's enough as well. What a way to go. Cobb run out (Topley) 12(7) [4s-1 6s-1]
11
W
Topley to Tom Banton, out Caught by Saqib Mahmood!! Complete miscue - right off the toe of the bat and easy catch for mid-off. Tom Banton used his feet and wanted to go over mid-off with the loft but failed while doing so. Tom Banton c Saqib Mahmood b Topley 2(4)
8
4
Saqib Mahmood to Tom Banton, byes, FOUR, wow! That is unlucky for Saqib Mahmood. Nips one past the inside edge of Tom Banton, late movement as well, awkward take for the diving Billings and he fails to stop it cleanly. Runs away for byes

4
Topley to Cobb, FOUR, too much width outside off, short and wide outside off, Cobb clears his front leg and cuts through point
4
6
Topley to Cobb, SIX, just over the deep square leg fielder. Shortish on the hips, a short-arm jab by Cobb and cleared the backtracking fielder. Great timing on that
