Riley Meredith to James Sales, 2 runs, low full toss, flicked behind square, cut off nicely in the deep with a slide

Riley Meredith to James Sales, no run, short delivery on the stumps, Sales ducks under it

Riley Meredith to Ben Sanderson, out Caught by Thomas Rew!! Another Northants batter shaping up too early for the scoop, allowing the bowler to react and change his strategy. Riley Meredith, digs this short and at the body following the batter. Sanderson takes evasive action more than trying to execute the shot in fear of getting hit by this pace on short ball. Outside edge results and it goes high up, keeper runs to the right and takes a simple catch. Third ump checks if it came off the bat and UltraEdge with slow-motion replays confirm it came almost off the splice of the bat. Ben Sanderson c Thomas Rew b Riley Meredith 1(2)
