Brad Evans to Ryan Rickelton, out Caught by Ryan Burl!! Superb recovery from Burl after an initial misjudgement. Came running in for the catch, realised it was going over him and then had to backtrack. Acrobatically taken in the end. It's the short ball again from Evans which causes problems for Rickelton. Tries taking it on with the pull but it holds in the pitch and he's through the shot early. Goes right off the toe-end to long-on. He was struck on the helmet earlier and never looked at ease against the short ball. Has to do with the pitch being the way it is, with the ball holding and the bounce also not very reliable.

Brad Evans to Ryan Rickelton, no run, appeal for caught behind as Rickelton is beaten on the pull! The keeper was interested, but Evans wasn't. Zimbabwe don't go for the review and there's nothing on UltraEdge

Brad Evans to Ryan Rickelton, SIX, picks the slower ball and sends it over the midwicket boundary! Floated up around off, swiped across the line and again it's not the cleanest of strikes. Off the bottom of his bat again. Just about clears for a 72-meter six

Brad Evans to Ryan Rickelton, SIX, not quite off the middle but still clears the ropes! Good length across off, Rickelton goes across the line, looks to slog but gets it off the bottom of his bat. Again the ball holding in the pitch. Just about clears the midwicket boundary!

Brad Evans to Ryan Rickelton, 1 run, back of a length across off, he looks to drive on the up and mistimes it off the inside half to mid-off. The ball stopping on him again
3.2
Brad Evans to Ryan Rickelton, no run, Rickelton looks dazed after getting hit on the helmet by a short ball! Physio rushes out to check on him! Banged in short, he misses the pull and it hits him flush on the badge. He removes the helmet and rubs his head. There's a visible bruise on his forehead. Miller is warming up on the sidelines, but Rickelton should be okay. His body language looks much better and he's putting on the helmet again. Ready to go again after a five-minute break...
3.1
