Atkinson to Boland, no run, that's a wasted delivery wide of off stump, Boland happily plays inside the line and leaves

Atkinson to Boland, no run, bowls a gun short ball, forces Boland to hop and fend off the splice of the bat but it clears Duckett at short leg and a bowler has just denied a single to an opening batter. What a crazy day at the G!
