Jamieson to Michael Pollard, out Michael Pollard Run Out!! 1 run completed. Needless! Wellington have let go of the momentum. Slower delivery around the hips, Pollard tucks it in front of square leg and called for two, Benton raced in from the deep and hits the bulls-eye from 30 yards out. Brilliant bit of work from him. Even a full length dive from Pollard could not save him. Michael Pollard run out (Benton) 3(2)

Benton to Tom Blundell, out Caught by Tyler Lortan!! A touch and go decision and it has gone in favour of Canterbury. A full toss and Blundell goes for the reverse sweep, since the ball was dipping he couldn't keep it down and hits it towards backward point. Lortan moves forward and dives, scoops it from the ground. He first wasn't sure it carried and then told the umpires to send it upstairs. Tom Blundell c Tyler Lortan b Benton 1(3)

McConchie to Bracewell, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Quicker delivery from round the wicket, Bracewell makes room to play the cut shot but the ball keeps drifting in, the pace is also quick enough to beat the flashing blade and crash into the leg-stump. A fine knock from Bracewell comes to an end. He's set the platform for his side. Bracewell b McConchie 69(34) [4s-5 6s-7]

Jamieson to Conway, out Caught by Cam Fletcher!! Finally, a wicket for Canterbury. The partnership has been broken and it is the less dangerous Conway that departs. Runs down the wicket and looks to force the back of a length delivery, but the angle takes it away from him and he manages only an outside edge to the keeper. Conway c Cam Fletcher b Jamieson 25(21) [4s-4]
