Justin Greaves to Latham, out Caught by Tevin Imlach!! Justin Greaves strikes twice in quick succession and he is cock-a-hoop! Both the set batters are back in the hut now.

He tries to drive it down the ground but the ball moves away to take the outside edge. A regulation take for Tevin Imlach. Latham was on the move and he wasn't quite balanced while he played that. Good channel bowling from Justin Greaves and he gets rewarded again. Latham c Tevin Imlach b Justin Greaves 24(85) [4s-2]

In the corridor of uncertainty, angling in initially but it straightens after landing to square Williamson up. He is caught in a tangle as he looks to keep it out but gets a thick outside edge behind. Athanaze at second slip gets low to his right and takes a good catch in front of him with both hands. There was also some extra bounce and Williamson couldn't handle it. Williamson c Athanaze b Justin Greaves 52(102) [4s-6]
