George Garton to Carberry, FOUR, brutal. Spots the back of the hand stuff and manufactures all the power on it. Stays back in the crease, waits and then punishes the uppish drive over the covers
18.5
Jordan to Carberry, 2 runs, shovels the ball, the slower ball. Minus timing. Off the toe end and a forward dive at long-off isn't quite enough to pluck it in the end
18.3

Jordan to Carberry, FOUR, lofted. And dropped. The wheels are truly falling off the Sharks here. Jordan ain't amused either. Long-on runs across, gets both hands to it and lets it pop right out. What's worse - rolls away too
18.2
4
Jordan to Carberry, FOUR, another across the line heave. Gets one on the pads, off a half volley and wristed away in the air and into mid-wicket
17.5

Jofra Archer to Bailey, FOUR, dishes out a low full toss. Bailey for a change gets the meat on it this time. A 90mph bolt for help too. Uses all of it in slicing it through point. The stoopy-slice
17.1

Jofra Archer to Carberry, FOUR, spoils the yorker. Missed by a couple of millimeters and Carberry fetches out a mile. Moves away, jams his bat down and digs the drive through the covers

Jordan to Afridi, out Caught by Brown!! That's the tickle. That's all the Boom Boom we are getting tonight. Short, banged in, cross seamed as it climbs in with the angle. Afridi commits to the pull and doesn't hold a cell of his body back as he goes through with it. A faint kiss on the under edge to a diving keeper. And Afridi walks. Afridi c Brown b Jordan 5(5) [4s-1]

Jordan to Afridi, FOUR, a missed yorker. And a missed fielding too. Oh sloppy. Ended up as a low full toss and slapped away to extra cover, who lets the ball go through. After crashing into his knee cap
15.1
W
Jofra Archer to James Vince, out Bowled!! A peach. An absolute ripper. And gets the better of Vince, the man with all the timing. Walks away, and before he could realize the zip in the yorker to jam his bat in the way, the base of middle is breached. Nevertheless, a near-perfect innings this. James Vince b Jofra Archer 81(48) [4s-10 6s-3]

Will Beer to Carberry, SIX, and now it is Carberry. Keeps getting stuff in his zone. And keeps sending them into the orbit. Quickly on a knee and takes matters straight down the ground
14.1
6
Will Beer to James Vince, SIX, firm, flat, and all the way. Yet again. Right on the cushions it is. Moves away, gives his arms the breathing space and carts it over mid-wicket
13.4
4
Jordan to Carberry, FOUR, the power. Moves away, gets a length delivery and plunders it over cover. Enough elevation and the outfield then takes over
11.4
6
Briggs to James Vince, SIX, fired in quicker. And Vince is right down to take it on the half volley to go inside-out with his lofted drive. All the timing to take it well over long-on
11.3
4
Briggs to James Vince, FOUR, a flamingo of sorts. Murderous instincts. All the power in it as Vince gets a low full toss and hammers it to pierce the gap between mid-wicket and long-on
10.5

Will Beer to Rossouw, out Caught by Jordan!! First blood. Finally. Runs down once again, not as close as he'd have liked this time but doesn't bother adjusting or holding himself back. Mistimes the heave and the outside half goes down the throat of long-on. Doesn't help that he was going against the wind and against the turn too. Rossouw c Jordan b Will Beer 46(31) [4s-4 6s-3]
10.2

Will Beer to Rossouw, SIX, the dance, and the swing. A drag down that this was, gets Rossouw to get it right in the slot and pulls it away. Several rows over this time

George Garton to Rossouw, SIX, the hack is back. This time to get on top of the bounce and deposit it well over deep square leg
9.5
4
George Garton to Rossouw, leg byes, FOUR, a massive appeal. Gets Hampshire a boundary instead. Tailing back in, strikes Rossouw on the front pad as he goes for a full bat swing. Misses and the ball ricochets to run through the cordon. The appeal cut down, thanks to the line sliding down
9.4
4
George Garton to Rossouw, FOUR, the top-edge now. It never matters when it goes this way. Looks for the typical death slog, and the ball runs through the cordon. 180d-degrees to the other side
9.2
4
George Garton to Rossouw, FOUR, opens up the foot. Throws it away in fact. And swings the mighty blade in tonking it down the ground. All the way too
9
F
Briggs to James Vince, SIX, not a bad way to get to your half-ton. Stays put, lets the ball get into his zone and sits under it to slog it big. Over long-on. Spoils the over too
7.5
4
Wiese to James Vince, FOUR, the leading edge. The streaky one. That's all it was. But the outfield takes over and with the big bat too coming into the picture to take it all the way. Closes himself up a touch too soon in looking to wrist it through the on-side. The cover ropes are found instead
7.2
4
Wiese to James Vince, FOUR, too straight now. Too easy. The wrists now take over after the bottom hands. In getting himself inside the line and tucking it away. Past fine leg
7.1
4
Wiese to James Vince, FOUR, all bottom handed. Ah, the enviable handle. Refuses to move, reads the slower cutter off the fingers and waits in going for a uppish jab. Mid-wicket it is..the fence of course
6.4
4
Briggs to Rossouw, FOUR, the nailing reverse! Quickly right handed, gets behind the ball and rolls his wrists on it too as it is swept into the fence behind square
6.3
Briggs to James Vince, 1 run, a move away, and a slice. Extra cover this time. The 50 is up too
4.4

George Garton to James Vince, FOUR, that was a bowler killer!! The bowler ducks in his followthrough and so does the umpire Jeremy Lloyds. It was missiled back as the batsman stamped it down the ground with a flat bat. A length ball and was thumped down
3.3
4
Jordan to James Vince, FOUR, the bowler follows the batsman who was in the middle of a back away movement. The short ball pulled well away from the man at short fine leg
2.5
4
Jofra Archer to James Vince, FOUR, short ball angling in, pulled away again. Four balls four boundaries. Tries to bowl a slower short ball and put away disdainfully. This seems to be a bowler's graveyard
2.4

Jofra Archer to James Vince, FOUR, backs away, clears his front leg and drives the ball aerially through covers for a four
2.3

Jofra Archer to James Vince, FOUR, down the leg-side, tickled towards fine leg for a four
2.2

Jofra Archer to James Vince, FOUR, back footed punch into the covers and that will run away! That was forcefully done by James Vince
1.3

George Garton to Rossouw, FOUR, drives on the up, threads the gap through covers and it is a four. Lovely timing on it
1.2

George Garton to Rossouw, SIX, WOW!!!! That was a pick up shot and the huge followthrough takes the ball well over long-on for a maximum. First boundary of the day
