Matt Henry to Jacob Bethell, out Bowled!! Good grief, that has stayed incredibly low. Absolutely nothing that Bethell can do as it sneaks under the bat and crashes into off stump. He was actually hopping in the crease looking to defend as Henry kept it on a back of a length. But it stayed so low while also nipping back sharply. It had been Henry who was dealing with all the bad luck so far. Finally something goes his way. Jacob Bethell b Matt Henry 14(35) [4s-2]

Matt Henry to Jacob Bethell, no run, this time surely they'll go for the review! With one second left, Latham reluctantly signals the T. This one looks close as well. Again Bethell getting beaten on the inside edge by a long way, just like his first innings dismissal. But this one's not that full and ball-tracking says it's clipping the leg bail - umpire's call. Frustration for Henry. Cracking delivery that darts in off a good length and zips past the inside edge in defence. Looked close but the umpire was unmoved once more
