McPeake to Kyle Abbott, SIX, another off-pace delivery, Abbott dances down the track and flogs it over wide long-on

Ollie Newton to Daryl Mitchell, out Caught by Bennett!! The slower ball does the trick. Mitchell had moved across a long way and Newton bowled it well outside off.

Mitchell misses his fifty by a run. Daryl Mitchell c Bennett b Ollie Newton 49(41) [4s-2 6s-3]

Jeetan Patel to Daniel Flynn, out Caught by Ollie Newton!! Second wicket for Jeetan Patel. It was a fullish ball on middle and leg and Flynn had shuffled across a long way to slog-sweep that. Gets a big top-edge that goes up a mile in the air. Newton backtracks from short fine and reverse-cups it. Daniel Flynn c Ollie Newton b Jeetan Patel 25(18) [4s-2 6s-1]

Ollie Newton to Daniel Flynn, FOUR, nicely done. Was a leg-stump line ball from a short of length, Flynn got down on a knee and used the bowler's pace to help it on its way fine of the man at 45

Ollie Newton to Daryl Mitchell, 1 run, miscued drill, off the lower part of the bat, a single down to long-on. The single brings up the 50-run stand

McPeake to Daryl Mitchell, FOUR, shot! With mid-off inside the circle, McPeake hurls it full. Mitchell stays in his crease and lifts it neatly over mid-off. One bounce and into the fence

Jeetan Patel to Daryl Mitchell, FOUR, a tame shot to be honest. Daryl Mitchell comes down the track and chips this tossed up delivery. Didn't over-hit and almost holed out. van Beek ran in from long-of and put in the dive, but couldn't get his fingers under it. It might have fallen short as well. In the end, the ball goes through him to go into the fence

Bennett to Daryl Mitchell, SIX, a chance? The man in the deep has palmed it over the ropes. A good bumper and Mitchell went through with his pull shot despite the ball getting a bit big on him. The long leg fielder runs to his left and leaps across to snaffle that with both hands. Gets fingertips on it and the ball bursts through it to a six

Jeetan Patel to Corey Anderson, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! Corey Anderson can't believe what happened there? Jeetan Patel is pumped up. From round the wicket, Jeetan darts an arm ball and Anderson was trying to late-steer it backward of square on the off-side. he was probably anticipating the ball to spin away. The ball came in with the arm and hit the top of off. Corey Anderson b Jeetan Patel 4(8)

Jeetan Patel to Daryl Mitchell, SIX, top shot! Excellent use of the feet. Danced down the track to get to the pitch of the ball and thumped it over long-on

Ollie Newton to Brett Hampton, out Lbw!! That's plumb! Full and angled in on the stumps, an off-balance looks to flick it away and ends up playing all around it. Gets pinned on the front leg in front of off and middle. Can't be more plumb than that. Brett Hampton lbw b Ollie Newton 0(1)

Ollie Newton to Nick Kelly, out Caught&Bowled!! Nick Kelly moves leg-side and Kelly follows him with a slower short ball. The batsman didn't pick that and he was way too early into his stroke - pull. The ball ballooned up off the top-edge and Newton called for it. Ran towards the square leg region and gobbled it up with ease. The partnership has been broken. Nick Kelly c and b Ollie Newton 45(26) [4s-7 6s-2]

Ollie Newton to Nick Kelly, FOUR, full ball just outside off, Kelly backs away and drives it all along the carpet wide of mid-off. The long-on fielder slides and tries to flick it back into play, but he was making contact with the rope

Bennett to Nick Kelly, SIX, shortish ball sits up nicely for the left-hander. Kelly clears his front leg and muscles it over deep mid-wicket. Didn't time it very well, but he targetted the shorter side of the boundary

van Beek to Nick Kelly, FOUR, poor bowling from van Beek. Another leg-stump line ball from a short of length, Kelly uses the pace on it and pulls it through backward square leg. Three boundaries in that over

van Beek to Nick Kelly, FOUR, premeditated, but effective. van Beek drops his length short, Kelly moves off-side and scoops it over short fine leg. Didn't middle it, but got enough wood to fetch a boundary

van Beek to Nick Kelly, FOUR, bad ball! Shortish and down leg, easy pickings for Kelly, who helps it on its way with a swivel-pull. Used the pace and placed it fine of the man at 45. Runs away to the fine leg fence

McPeake to Daryl Mitchell, SIX, a hoick across the line and Daryl Mitchell has made good contact. Hit-the-deck-hard back of a length delivery, Mitchell moves leg-side, clears his left leg and heaves it away over cow corner. 19 runs came off that over!

McPeake to Nick Kelly, SIX, top shot! First six of the match. Ian McPeake pounded in a length ball and Kelly moved across a long way. Got into a good position with a crouched stance and scooped it over fine leg

McPeake to Nick Kelly, FOUR, smashed down the ground. It was bowled full and Kelly cleared his front leg to batter it past the sticks at the non-striker's end. The southpaw doesn't bother to run

McPeake to Daryl Mitchell, no run, what was Daryl Mitchell doing there? Nudges a length ball to the right of the bowler and eyes a single. There was no run there and the right-hander was sent back by his partner. Mitchell slid while turning back and he'd have been a goner had McPeake hit the target at the keeper's end. A run-out miss!

McPeake to Joe Carter, out Caught by van Beek!! Gone! A short of length delivery wide of off, was there to be hit and Carter flashed his bat hard at it. Hit it pretty well, but got the placement wrong. Spooned it straight to backward point, where van Beek took a clean catch. Joe Carter c van Beek b McPeake 0(2)

Bennett to Nick Kelly, FOUR, shot! On a good length and just outside off, Kelly stands tall and punches wide of cover. Raced away to the fence
