    4.4 Looks like it has been miscued and it is! Maxwell has the last laugh, one big shot too many, needless! Saw him going to the leg-side and kept it on a lower trajectory, curling in as well and gripping, messy shot to long-off and he has to go, waits a touch maybe to see if there is a front-foot issue but it's clear, he keeps on walking towards dressing room, a short frantic innings 31/2

    1.2 Beautiful lush green outfield. Bit short and slanting in at middle and leg and midriff height, lifts it up in the air and hasn't got all of it. Lots of height and not much distance, the main man from last night Dwarshuis takes a lovely running catch at midwicket so early success for Washington. Netravalkar is all smiles 10/1

    15.1 These two compliment each other very well, have batted with each other on numerous occasions. Over the wicket, excellent yorker tailing in at middle, appeal for an lbw and umpire agrees. Sent upstairs rightaway. Excellent well-directed yorker, ultra-edge shows there is nothing on the bat so a flat line. Three reds, just shaving leg-stump and the on-field decision stands. Good bowling change, smart operator 150/4

    12.6 Holland finds a way to induce an error with his irksome slower balls, length-ish and meandering wide of off, he takes the bait and goes big downtown, Owen at long-off reverse-cups it and this is a great outcome for WF, back of the hand slower one does the trick, excellent catch and smart bowling as he stuck to his guns 121/3

    16.3 Poor captaincy to bring him that late. Looped up shorter on middle, rocks back and thumps it many a mile in the air, not enough distance though. Both big hitters back in the hit, still a few overs left and it's all down to Tajinder now. WF have pulled things back well 154/6

    16.1 Introduced very late and I wonder why. Around the wicket, shorter in length on middle, very slow, pulled in the air and hasn't got all of it, tries to help it on its way but not quite through the shot fully, leant back and casual pull, stand on the crease incredulously frustrated with himself 153/5

    19.1 Over the wicket, touch short and outside off, tries to heave it downtown and gets a top-edge that balloons up and Saurbah, just after delivering an over, takes a wonderful diving focused catch at short third I reckon 178/7

    19.6 Angles a bumper into off, he takes it on and gets caught at deep square, not much power behind it and didn't have the pace to work with 187/8

    1.2 Fraction short on off, holds in the surface, and he goes big downtown, straight into the hands of Pollard at long-on! Safe big bucket hands, just not able to get fully under it and generate enough power as the ball drifted in and rose a fair bit 11/1

    2.2 Short of a length and angled into middle, casual pull off the toe-end to deep square, fabulous catch running in from the rope and pocketing it low, not been to lift it up, great anticipation during the catch 13/2

    13.4 Touch fuller and zipping across off, pace-off, Pooran swallows it inches near the rope at long-off! He was batting so well, just hits it with the wind but the late movement takes it away from his bat and he hasn't middled it, an enterprising innings comes to an end, change of pace does the trick 129/3

    17.3 Gets his man, bowls full and wide, he tries to clear the boundary rope at long-off and is absolutely crestfallen to miss out on a hundred, he has all the right to admonish himself, was just one stroke away from a covered milestone, Nikhil cheers him up and his whole team greets him enthusiastically oh and I totally forgot about how good this catch was, Pollard lunged forward and took a lovely diving catch, dived forward and tumbled but hung onto it brilliajntly 176/5

    16.1 Abates the carnage with a pitch-perfect inswinging near yorker, tries to lash it down the ground and mistimes it, unable to jam the bat down in time, much-needed wicket for MINY but maybe too little, too late, eh? 160/4
