Topley to Dwarshuis, out Caught by Sangha!! For a fleeting moment, that looked like six. Not to be. 125ks full on leg stump, Dwarshuis plays the whippy pick-up flick and got more height than distance. Wasn't an easy catch by any means, but Sangha did well to slide across and complete the catch with an air of calmness. Dwarshuis c Sangha b Topley 1(2)

Topley to Babar Azam, out Caught by Billings!! Billings always knew that was a goner. He went straightaway and didn't take long to convince his skipper. By the time Topley landed this short of length delivery, Babar was well past his off stump looking to execute the lap shot over short fine. The ball arrived much quicker than anticipated and cramped him for room at the last moment. Takes the glove and Billings takes a fine tumbling catch to his right. Babar Azam c Billings b Topley 58(42) [4s-5 6s-2]

Topley to Babar Azam, FOUR, flicked, oh fumble at the deep backward square leg fence. Sams didn't bend in time to keep this to two. May have been worried about the incoming fielder from fine leg too. Length on the pads, Babar flicked for two, got for instead

Topley to Daniel Hughes, out Bowled!! Oh he's dome him! The speed gun says 130ks, but Hughes played as if he was deceived by a slower ball. Short of a length from Topley, looked like it seamed away and stopped on the batter a bit to force that reaction. Hughes went searching for the ball in his defence and the next thing he knew was the off stump was disturbed. Top of off stuff! Daniel Hughes b Topley 25(15) [4s-5]
