Zakary Foulkes to Harry Brook, out Caught by Nathan Smith!! Fancy, fancy and gone! Taken at fine leg. Looks like England are going down in the act of trying to put on a bold face. Can they give Stokes an exit with a win or are they going to fumble again. Batters have been pushed up the order in the name of making a statement or forcing play. But England need to be smart about shot selection as well. Did Brook not know that fine leg was there? He was looking to pick this short of length delivery up behind square and all he did was pick out fine leg instead. Fielder moved to the right to complete an easy catch. A fifty-run opening stand is now follow by three wickets in 16 balls. Brook throws his back and walks off. Harry Brook c Nathan Smith b Zakary Foulkes 21(9) [4s-3 6s-1]

Rachin dives and actually gets a decent hand on it, but the ball rolls away and he crawls like a baby. Had to hurry but the ball just touched the ropes before he could properly flick it back
