Over 21.5 Neil Wagner bowls a good length delivery to K Brathwaite, out Caught by Henry Nicholls!! Goes onto the back foot, hops up looking to fend it away and the ball gets big on him to get the glove rebound popping up to short leg.

Over 26.4 Trent Boult bowls a good length delivery to Kieran Powell, out Caught by Jeet Raval!! Powell meanwhile neither plays, nor leaves. The outcome - a meek lob off the splice for third slip to dive in front of second to make it look all the more elegant

Over 27.4 Neil Wagner bowls a good length delivery to Shimron Hetmyer, out Caught by Latham!! Hetmyer stays on the front foot and tries to left alone but ending up with another tame glove to second slip. 

Over 27.6 Neil Wagner bowls a back of length delivery to Shai Hope,  out Caught by Tom Blundell!! It was shortish alright but the line was down the leg-side, Hope went for a half-hearted pull and could only get a really tiny feather through.

Over 29.1 Neil Wagner bowls a good length delivery to Sunil Ambris, outHit Wicket!! This was short and angling across the right-hander, Ambris went deep into his crease as he nudged the ball towards the on-side, the momentum took him a little further backwards and he ended up troding back onto the stumps.

Over 33.3 Neil Wagner bowls a good length delivery to Roston Chase, out Caught by Jeet Raval!! Chase looking to ride the bounce, it just got too big on him, ended up getting an inside edge onto the flick.  Raval,  dived forward, got both hands underneath and takes it at leg slip.

Over 33.4 Neil Wagner bowls a good length delivery to JO Holder, out Bowled! Holder was way too late in bringing his bat down, heard the sound of timber and simply walked away.

Over 34.6 Trent Boult bowls a good length delivery to KAJ Roach, out Dowrich Run Out!! Roach took a stride or two, that was enough for Dowrich to run down the pitch. Santner got across to his right at point, got a good bounce, had all the three stumps to aim at and throws down the stumps at the bowler's end.

Over 36.3 Trent Boult bowls a good length delivery to Miguel Cummins, out Bowled! Cummins poking from the crease, the feet didn't go anywhere near the pitch of the ball, ended up playing inside the line and misses, the ball crashes into the off-stump.

Over 45.4 Neil Wagner bowls a good length delivery to ST Gabriel, out Caught by Latham! Gabriel wasn't getting behind the line of those, tamely pokes at that, gets a healthy edge which is well caught by Latham at second slip. He went reverse cup and gobbled it up
