Bashir to Blundell, out Lbw!! Two wickets in the over for Shoaib Bashir. This was bowled from round the wicket and Tom Blundell went for the reverse sweep. Gets hit on the shoe and up goes the umpire's finger. Pitching in line, impact in line and it was hitting the middle stump, confirm the replays. The on-field decision stays and Tom Blundell is gone for a handy contribution. He couldn't make that dropped catch count though. Blundell lbw b Bashir 30(67) [4s-4]

Bashir to Blair Tickner, 1 run, pushed towards cover by Blair Tickner for a single

Bashir to Blair Tickner, no run, tossed up delivery outside off, Blair Tickner looks to defend, gets beaten

Bashir to Nathan Smith, out Caught&Bowled!! This time he doesn't miss. Takes a sharp return catch. Nathan Smith smashes this back to the spinner and Bashir grabs it on the second attempt. The ball popped out initially, but he had enough time to take it on the second attempt. Dropped Blundell in the previous over, but makes sure to take Smith's catch. Root hugs him immediately, and so do the England players. Archer wasn't initially interested in celebrating, but he gives him a high five eventually. Nathan Smith c and b Bashir 6(28)
