Sam Curran to Scott Currie, FOUR, beautifully played, this is an useful cameo from Currie - was the slower dipping delivery from Curran, he watches it closely and then bludgeons it past the non-striker, races away to the ropes
94

Saqib Mahmood to Scott Currie, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Currie, but this'd have been a chance had the fielder been right at the ropes - banged in short and Currie took on the pull, doesn't bother to keep it down and it flew towards deep backward square leg, the fielder is well inside and has to run back, only watches it go over his head and bounce in front of the ropes

Saqib Mahmood to Scott Currie, FOUR, a cheeky reverse lap and these are handy runs for the Originals - length ball on off, Scott Currie gets into a great position and elevates it over short third for a boundary

Saqib Mahmood to Sonny Baker, out Caught by Jordan Cox!! There goes wicket number 9 - another slower short ball, this time by Saqib and Baker is undone by the extra bounce, mistimes the pull and pops a simple catch to the fielder at mid-on - the Originals falling away in a heap. Sonny Baker c Jordan Cox b Saqib Mahmood 1(2)

Sam Curran to Scott Currie, 2 runs, a run-out chance, but Currie has just about made his ground - was the slower short ball and Currie muscled the pull behind square on the on-side - Sowter with the throw, but Billings took an extra moment to break the stumps and that allowed Currie to scamper home

W
Rashid Khan to Phil Salt, out Caught by Nathan Sowter!! A wicket off the last ball of Rashid's spell, but was that needed from Phil Salt? The last ball probably played in his mind, so he sets off searching for a boundary - was tossed up slower and around off, Salt went too hard on the slog-sweep, lost his shape and the top-edge is well snaffled by Sowter, at the deep square leg boundary. Phil Salt c Nathan Sowter b Rashid Khan 41(32) [4s-1 6s-3]

Rashid Khan to Gregory, out Bowled!! The Originals keep losing wickets and momentum - Salt is being left stranded at the other end, was a well disgusied wrong 'un and Gregory didn't spot it, went for an extravagant sweep, missed the line completely and the ball crashes into the middle-stump. Rashid is off on the celebratory run once again. Gregory b Rashid Khan 14(11) [4s-2]

Sam Curran to George Garton, out Bowled!! The middle-stump is flattened and Curran is on his celebratory run - was the sliower ball on middle and Garton was shaping to hack it across the line, wasn't short enough for the pull and he's played all around it, misses and the middle-stump is sent for a walk. George Garton b Sam Curran 4(8)
58
W
Saqib Mahmood to Klaasen, out Caught by Will Jacks!! A mistimed lofted drive and this is a huge wicket under the circumstances - was a good length delivery that was bowled into the pitch, Klaasen was shaping for the on-the-rise drive, but he's undone by the extra bounce, hit high on the bat and spooned to the left of mid-off - two men came under the skier, but the fielder at cover ducks under and lets Jacks complete the catch with ease. Klaasen c Will Jacks b Saqib Mahmood 6(10)
43
W
Rashid Khan to Chapman, out Caught by Ferreira!! A leading edge, went very high and over mid-off - the fielder jogs backwards, keeps his eyes on the ball and completes a reverse cupped catch - it's Donovan Ferreria and he ain't dropping those. Was the wrong 'un and Chapman was beaten in the flight as he came down the pitch, went through with the hoick and perished. Chapman c Ferreira b Rashid Khan 28(19) [4s-3 6s-1]

Behrendorff to Buttler, out Caught by Ferreira!!
