Obed McCoy to Shepherd, out Caught by Hetmyer!! Expensive last over and it ends with a wicket. A wide slower-ball outside off, was a wide had Shepherd left that, but he reaches for it and is almost down when he carves it, Hetmyer near the cushions at sweeper cover, takes it, realises he is going over so lobs it back, goes out, comes back in and takes it. Completed the job well. Shepherd falls to the last ball of the innings but not before a fine knock. Shepherd c Hetmyer b Obed McCoy 56(31) [4s-4 6s-4]

Obed McCoy to Shepherd, 2 runs, dropped by Obed McCoy. A hard back of a length delivery on off, Shepherd slogs and the thick top-edge goes straight up, it doesn't go far beyond the stumps at the non-striker's end, McCoy calls for it, gets both hands to it but drops it, they steal one more. Should have been taken

Jessy Singh to Shepherd, 1 run, does not stick for Gannon at deep square-leg. Runs and leaps to his left, gets both hands and does well to prevent it from going for six. Was a short of length delivery on off, Shepherd pulls and the tall frame of Gannon helps, first used the left hand and then the right one comes, saved 5 to be fair

Gannon to J Hamilton, out Lbw!! That's as plumb as it gets. Full on middle, Hamilton makes room and clears his front leg to heave, misses, rapped on the back pad right in front of middle-stump and that's an easy call. So plumb that Hamilton did not even consider a review. J Hamilton lbw b Gannon 6(12)

Harmeet Singh to Hassan Khan, out Lbw!! 81.8kph, Hassan Khan gets low to sweep and is rapped on the front pad. Loud appeal for lbw and up goes the finger. Hassan has a chat with his partner and reviews. Is the ball going on with the arm to miss leg? Or is it straightening enough? Seems like the latter. Firstly, UltraEdge confirms no inside edge. Over to ball-tracking and it's hitting leg! SFU lose their fourth wicket and in the process a review as well. Three wickets in two overs for the left-arm spinner and the SFU will be under some pressure. Hassan Khan lbw b Harmeet Singh 1(4)

Jessy Singh to Fraser-McGurk, FOUR, boundary spoils what looked like a good over from Jessy Singh. Too much width outside off and Fraser-McGurk's quick hands come into play who scythes it backward of square on the off-side. Bullets away to the fence and not a muscle moved
