Rhodes to Calvin Harrison, out Caught by Adam Hose!! Advances, but in the process ends up getting too close for comfort, and thus doesn't get the elevation he's looking for in this lofted cover slice. Instead this goes flat, and mid-off runs across to his right for a neat diving take. Calvin Harrison c Adam Hose b Rhodes 18(6) [4s-1 6s-2]

Rhodes to Calvin Harrison, SIX, tries bumping him with a short one, but Harrison's standing right up to this, hooking it over fine leg

Rhodes to Calvin Harrison, FOUR, wow, some premeditated extravaganza. An early shuffle, and a scoop straight over the keeper's head

Rhodes to Luke Fletcher, out Caught by Jacob Lintott!! He had to swing at everything, and Fletcher, in trying to carve this wide-line outside off over the cover infield, ends up only getting a toe-end that chips up to the fielder out there. Luke Fletcher c Jacob Lintott b Rhodes 1(4)

Bresnan to Calvin Harrison, SIX, low full toss, and Harrison anticipates it rather well, getting across early, staying low and slogging it flat and over deep square leg
18.2
W
Bresnan to Lyndon James, out Caught by (sub)Brookes!! Shuffles, sits, slogs, and top-edges. Well, well, this is falling apart for the Notts at the death. James looks to smoke this over cow corner, but this doesn't even have the legs to cross the square leg infield. Lyndon James c (sub)Brookes b Bresnan 7(6) [4s-1]
18.1
W
Bresnan to Samit Patel, out Caught by C Miles!! Full, wide, making Patel reach out to it. And he does with an uppish slice, only to find the toe-end of his bat straight to deep point. Samit Patel c C Miles b Bresnan 41(30) [4s-4 6s-1]

C Miles to Lyndon James, FOUR, quick hard hands on show, slamming this slot-ball past mid-off's dive. James jumped away, made room, and drilled

Rhodes to Samit Patel, FOUR, wide, full, and with nice wristy hands, Patel first backs away, and then drills this through the covers
16.1

Rhodes to Samit Patel, no ball, FOUR, high juicy full beamer outside off. Patel can arch back and chop it past the keeper
15.4
W
Jacob Lintott to Trego, out Stumped!! Steps out, misreads the googly, has an aimless swing, and misses all ends up with the ball spinning away past the bat with Trego stranded well down the pitch to even try getting back. Trego st Michael Burgess b Jacob Lintott 12(11) [4s-2]
15.2

Jacob Lintott to Samit Patel, SIX, steps away, makes room and goes inside-out with a lofted drive, and gets it over deep extra cover
14.5
4
C Miles to Trego, FOUR, crouches, cuts, connects, and finds the gap. A bit of width, and Trego, unlike his earlier shots, doesn't over-hit, rather timing it nicely behind point
14.2
4
C Miles to Trego, FOUR, pitched up, Trego gets under the length and shovels well, spooning is neatly down the ground
13.2
W
Jacob Lintott to Mullaney, out Caught by Rhodes!! Real soft, tame stuff. Mullaney leans out in looking to flick this into mid-wicket, but ends up going through his shot early, thus getting a leading-edge chipping up to short cover. Mullaney c Rhodes b Jacob Lintott 2(4)

Rhodes to Ben Slater, out Caught by Jacob Lintott!! Short, slow, sticking in the pitch. Slater slogs, miscues, finds a top-edge that ends up only as far as mid-on. Ben Slater c Jacob Lintott b Rhodes 18(19) [6s-1]
11.3

Rhodes to Samit Patel, FOUR, short again, very wide too. Patel goes harder with his cut now, getting it in front of point

Rhodes to Samit Patel, FOUR, slow, short, and way outside off. Patel picks it up early, waiting on it and cutting it neatly behind point

Bresnan to Samit Patel, 1 run, back of a length, outside off, punched to deep extra cover

Jacob Lintott to Ben Slater, SIX, hoicked hard, uppish, and over deep mid-wicket. A nice leg-clearing strike this, taking the risk despite the fielder out there by the boundary
7.2
W
Jacob Lintott to Hales, out Caught by Hain!! And now the loss of momentum consumes Hales as well. He clears his front leg, looks to pump this over cow corner, but doesn't quite get hold. And ends up dragging it off the inside half down long-on's throat. Hales c Hain b Jacob Lintott 34(21) [4s-2 6s-3]
6.2
W
Briggs to Duckett, out Caught by Matthew Lamb!! It needed a stunner to end this partnership, and Lamb has pulled off a mother of stunners. Duckett once again shuffles across and slog-sweeps without bothering to keep it down, but this time, thanks to the extra men allowed in the deep, backward square leg runs across, dives full length and plucks it out one-handed. Duckett c Matthew Lamb b Briggs 39(20) [4s-4 6s-2]

C Miles to Duckett, SIX, it's a massive leak this. Miles keeps feeding the legs, and Duckett keeps picking them up and slogging them over the ropes behind square leg

C Miles to Duckett, FOUR, overcooked, on the legs, and with fine leg inside the ring. Duckett flicks, getting it past
4.5

Bresnan to Hales, SIX, picks, heaves, dispatches. We aren't even done with the fifth over, and this is already a carnage. Hales stays low, gets under the length and slogs it over deep mid-wicket
4.3
6
Bresnan to Hales, SIX, just sheer audacity, leaning into an overpitched delivery and slicing it over point, and the 50 comes up in absolutely no time
3.5
4
C Miles to Duckett, FOUR, there's a bit of width on this, and Duckett clearing his front leg out makes it a lot more, as he then opens up his arms and slaps it through extra cover

6
Briggs to Hales, SIX, and it's Hales' turn to join the slogging fun. Briggs keeps feeding it right in the slot, and keeps getting smoked behind square
2.3

Briggs to Duckett, SIX, reverses now, and as a rightie, slog-sweeps this over his new square leg, or the old point
2.2

Briggs to Duckett, FOUR, and better. Another shuffling sweep, just that this one's more of a slog that Duckett's nailed one-bounced into fine leg
2.1

Briggs to Duckett, FOUR, flat, low full toss, and Duckett shuffles early, gets fully inside the line and sweeps it through square leg
