Ben Raine to Cachopa, FOUR, in the air....falls safe at long-on and eventuall trickles away to the fence as the fielder in the deep makes a meal of the regulation stop. Fuller one and Cachopa skied the slog, gets lucky that it fell in no man's land and also gets himself a boundary

Christi Viljoen to Cachopa, SIX, excellent innovation from Cachopa! Walks across the sticks almost as an afterthought and ends up scooping this full ball straight back over the keeper's head. Connects well enough to send this all the way

Christi Viljoen to Bell-Drummond, out Lbw!! Massive wicket and it's the comeback man who provides it for Otago. Full and angling in from around off, Bell-Drummond just played the wrong line and got pinged on the front pad. Looked stone dead to me and the umpire after a slight thought raised his finger. So, Otago are pulling it back here after the racy start. Bell-Drummond lbw b Christi Viljoen 30(21) [4s-5]

Jacob Duffy to Glenn Phillips, out Caught by JJ Tasman-Jones!! The skipper draws first blood!

Nathan G Smith to Bell-Drummond, FOUR, not exactly off the middle but clears the infield on the leg-side comfortably and eventually reaches the fence after a desperate dive attempt from the fielder who gave chase.
