    0.1 One slip in place. Over the wicket, landed full into the pads, he goes for a casual chip through the line and gives a simple catch to the fielder at mid-on and Guardians get the early breakthrough and make headway; Hollard takes a splendid low catch 0/1

    3.6 Good length and gives some width, not much movement, holes out to long-off, it was a cross-seamer that jagged back and he it was close enough to go for a larrup; excellent diving catch in the deep 30/2

    13.2 Shuffles across his stumps and tries to cart this behind square on leg; ball got big on him and he mistimes it, a big top-edge goes high in the air and it's a tough one for the keeper in windy conditions, he kept on swirling here and there before pouching it safely in the end! An excellent and enterprising knock comes to an end 111/3

    15.5 Finds the fielder at extra cover who was backpedaling and ouches it over his head, excellent catch! It was a full delivery and wide of off, not much pace to work with and he wanted to carry on along his merry way, just not able to find the elevation on this occasion, marvelous knock nevertheless 133/4

    3.3 Over the wicket, on a length or thereabouts, spiraling in at middle, takes it on and goes big downtown but hasn't got the distance and McMullen takes a stupendous catch running backwards and keeping his eyes locked at it, he knew he was in trouble and there is a cry of anguish; absolutely livid with himself 32/1

    8.5 Drags his length back and keeps it tight at off, swirls away a touch and how often have we seen batters holing out once they have got a couple of boundaries? He goes for a flat pull and finds Evans at deep midwicket; crestfallen while walking back to the pavillion; just couldn't lift it much and didn't have the pace to work with 67/2

    16.1 Over the wicket, hits the deck and angles in, cramps him for room, he takes the aerial route and punches it in the air and has been taken at long-off by Boult who has got a very safe pair of hands. That is a prized scalp; set man departs at a critical juncture of the game 128/5

    13.2 On a length or thereabouts and offers leeway on the off-side, he gives his all and goes for an almighty heave, gets the top-edge and Adair at cover takes an absolute screamer, sprinting backwards and holding it onto it while tumbling! This has to be one of the best catches of the tournament! Needed something special to get rid of Mitchell and this was pretty special 108/3

    14.5 Around the wicket now, low full-toss, near yorker, kneels into the cover drive and cannot keep it on the ground, reverse-cupped by Adair, right down his throat, crucial wicket at a crucial time! 119/4

    19.1 Over the wicket, length-ish and wide of off, kneels and fetches it, slices the ball in the air and has been pouched at deep point; Jarvis takes a cool catch with the shades on. There goes the last ray of hope for Guardians 158/8

    18.2 He has a Test century to his name, bats well under pressure, heaps of experience of course. He doesn't want to die wondering, a shorter cross-seam delivery just outside off, he tries to tonk it downtown and finds Santner at long-off. Jarvis is on hattrick as the wheels continue to come off 145/7
