Benny Howell to Ferreira, out Caught by Jacob Bethell!! Bethell ain't dropping that.

Bethell keeps his eyes on the ball, runs forward and finishes the formalities with minimum fuss. Ferreira c Jacob Bethell b Benny Howell 63(29) [4s-4 6s-6]

Benny Howell to Ferreira, SIX, Ferreira is dealing in sixes at the moment! Picks the full delivery off his front leg and wallops it over wide long-on to his right

Mousley to Rashid Khan, 1 run, the no-look slogsweep from Rashid Khan! Gets it off the thick inside half towards deep square who does exceedingly well to save five runs for his side. Leapt full length, flicked the ball back into play before losing the momentum. Excellent stuff!

Mousley to Ferreira, SIX, this one has nearly gone for a 100 metre maximum. Oh! There's a crowd catch too. Ferreira cleared his front leg and marmalized this full ball wide of mid-wicket for a mighty maximum

Mousley to Ferreira, SIX, that is outta here! A 24-ball fifty for Donovan Ferreira. What a knock this has been from the South African. Mauls the loopy full delivery for a 92-metre maximum over mid-wicket to get to the milestone...

Mousley to Ferreira, 5 wides, Mousley is livid with himself! Fired full and down the leg-side, Ferreira misses the sweep and the ball runs down the hill to the right of short fine

Southee to Rashid Khan, SIX, that is a Rashid Khan special! He shuffles a long way across off and waits for something full on the pads, gets what he wanted and it's been dispatched over deep square with a mini-helicopter whippy flick

Southee to Rashid Khan, 1 run, full and well wide of off stump, Rashid Khan slices the drive to the left of a diving sweeper cover fielder to his left. Landed just short of Bethell there...

Milne to Rashid Khan, SIX, lifter angled in on leg stump, Rashid Khan swivels and tonks the pull for a 72-metre maximum over deep square

Milne to Tom Curran, out Caught by Joe Clarke!! Nicked and gone. Decides to go pace on and lands it on a length outside off at 89mph, no feet from Curran as he throws his fishing rod. Thick outside edge and regulation take for the keeper. Tom Curran c Joe Clarke b Milne 2(3)

Mousley to Ferreira, SIX, that is one of the most flattest sixes you would ever see! Looped full and wide of off stump, Ferreira bends his back knee and carves it over extra cover. The ball hits the boundary tringles on the full....

Mousley to Ferreira, FOUR, low full toss down the leg-side, Ferreira is quick to get low and help that past the fielder at short fine with a well-timed paddle sweep

Mousley to Jordan Cox, out Caught by Jacob Bethell!! Bethell takes the high ball. Wasn't an easy chance that one. Cox gave it all the on slogsweep and skewed it high into the air off the top-edge. Bethell, from deep mid-wicket, runs across to his left and puts in a full length dive to complete the catch. Made a difficult catch look easy there. Jordan Cox c Jacob Bethell b Mousley 44(30) [4s-3 6s-2]

Boult to Ferreira, FOUR, Boult goes full and slow, but there was ample width for Ferreira to get low and throw the kitchen sink. Catches the top-edge and runs away in the gap between the keeper and short third

Southee to Ferreira, SIX, he has been either too short or full. Ferreira takes toll of the full ball and smites this into the cow corner orbit with an air of nonchalance

Southee to Ferreira, FOUR, Southee goes full this time and has been dispatched for a boundary! Ferreira sits back and drives it firmly past the diving left hand of mid-off

Southee to Jordan Cox, 1 run, Cox walked a few yards towards the dressing room. He gave up and felt there was no chance of getting away with that. Pulls the short ball and gets more height than distance. The top-edge spoons up to the left of the keeper and Clarke fails to cling on. He was under the ball for a long time and it did swirl away fractionally to his left at the last minute...

Benny Howell to Ferreira, SIX, errs on the fuller side this time and Ferreira shows no mercy! Gets under the full delivery and clubs it many-a-mile over long-off

Benny Howell to Ferreira, FOUR, one bounce and over the ropes! Slower ball bowled short outside off stump, Ferreira stoops across and slugs it away in the gap to the right of mid-wicket

Livingstone to Billings, out Caught by Jacob Bethell!! Livingstone has the last laugh. He pulled away momentarily before this ball was bowled and did that put off Billings? He wanted to go big again and chose to play the orthodox slogsweep. Fails to get the desired timing and holes out to deep mid-wicket. Billings c Jacob Bethell b Livingstone 17(10) [4s-1 6s-1]

Livingstone to Billings, SIX, here comes the switch hit! Billings gets into position early and times it really clean for a 61-metre maxium over deep backward point

Southee to Jordan Cox, SIX, ooft! That was close. Southee goes for the short ball and it gave enough time for Cox to swivel back and roll his wrists over the pull. Went flat and just about cleared the leaping right hand of the man at deep square...

Jacob Bethell to Jordan Cox, FOUR, nailed! Once again Jacob Bethell bowls it short and wide of off stump, Cox leans back and clobbers it in the gap through extra cover

Jacob Bethell to Jordan Cox, 2 runs, fired it on the stumps, Cox forces the punch to the left of long-on and rushes through to complete the second!

Jacob Bethell to Jordan Cox, FOUR, dropped short outside off, Cox is onto it in a flash! He rocks back and stabs it away past the diving fielder at cover to his left

Milne to Billings, FOUR, streaky but effective nonetheless! Good length shaping in just outside off, Billings looks to push down the ground and gets a thick inside edge that skims past the leg peg and beats the fielder at fine leg to his right

Milne to Sam Curran, out Caught by Joe Clarke!! Sam Curran has a long chat with his partner and decides against the review. Was rushed for pace there. 83mph bumper angling across the left-hander, Curran looks to pull and gets a feather of the top-edge through to the keeper. Clarke fumbles on the first attempt, but takes it on the second. Sam Curran c Joe Clarke b Milne 14(9) [4s-2]

Southee to Sam Curran, FOUR, not getting away by bowling short to me says Sam Curran! He jumps on the back foot and feasts on this short ball with a hack over the fielder at mid-on to his left

Southee to Jordan Cox, FOUR, lovely timing and placement from Jordan Cox! Waited on the back foot and opened the bat face really late to crunch this square on the off-side

Boult to Sam Curran, FOUR, the edge runs away past the fielder this time around! Tails away from a fullish length, Curran drives on the up and the outside edge flies past the lone slip to his left

Boult to Muyeye, out Bowled!! Brilliant start from Boult. He has got rid of both the openers. Decided to come round the wicket once again and used the crease to angle in a length delivery with a hint of inward movement. Muyeye was neither forward nor back, played all around it and couldn't put bat to ball. Muyeye b Boult 5(7) [4s-1]

Boult to Muyeye, FOUR, he loves the width does Tawanda Muyeye! Goes chasing after the full delivery and slices it off the thick outside half over backward point to his left...

Milne to Jordan Cox, SIX, that was begging to be smashed and Cox obliged! Short and angled in at the hip, Cox swivels and smokes the pull flat over the square leg fence. First maximum of the game.

Boult to Will Jacks, out Caught by Livingstone!! Oh dear! Will Jacks cannot believe that it has gone straight to the fielder. He stepped out, looking to thump this full length delivery up and over the off-side ring. Skews it off the toe end of the bat and picks out Livingstone at mid-off to his left. Excellent start this for the home team. Will Jacks c Livingstone b Boult 0(2)
