Maharaj to Sonny Baker, out Bowled!! All over! Sonny Baker out for a first ball duck on debut. Kesh Mahjaraj with another impressive performance, ends with 4/22. A slow length ball onto the stumps, straightens after pitching and sneaks between bat and pad as Baker was in no position to defend it properly. Thuds onto the stumps and ends a sorry batting performance for England. All out for 131 runs! Sonny Baker b Maharaj 0(1)

Maharaj to Adil Rashid, out Lbw!! That's number 9 down for England. A lovely arm ball from Keshav Maharaj, the batter just didn't read it. He played for the turn and the ball sneaks past the inside edge and onto the front pad. Struck in front of middle and would have crashed onto the top of off as per ball tracking. Rashid is out and the review is lost as well!! Adil Rashid lbw b Maharaj 9(14) [4s-1]
