Meredith to Josh Inglis, out Caught by Harry Brook!! The promotion to the top of the order for Josh Inglis doesn't bear any fruits. He is gone for a 5-ball duck. That was a length delivery arpound off and the batter wanted to lift it over mid-on. Got the ball a little higher on the bat which twisted a little on contact as well. The man at mid-on settled under it and took it easily. Great start for Hobart and Meredith. Josh Inglis c Harry Brook b Meredith 0(4)
