Another routine victory. Had we batted first and been in this position 500 would have been on again. 252 in 19.5 overs would have been in our scope.

Good to get an early breakthrough as the wicket screams 470 par.

Young gone 20

first ball from Leach

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Really good first delivery from Leach. Never looked anything other than dead once ultra edge showed no bat involved.

Williamson gone 31

Williamson gone.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Lovely delivery by Broad to entice the faintest tickle from Kane Williamson’s bat. Just held up enough after a big inswinger the previous delivery.

 

[Dinowolf]

Nearly a fantastic catch from Foakes to an inside edge that had him at full stretch.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's a funny old team they've picked. Three seamers and a part time spinner. One of the seamers got demolished last game and another is 36 and hasn't played for weeks, so who knows how he'll go. Packed the batting down to 8 which is the kind of thing you do when you're 1-0 up with one to play, not 2-0 down.

Anyone else noticed that Potts sticks his hand up after every ball like he’s celebrating?

 

[Carrotdude]

Hmm not convinced by that decision. Pad first imo.

 

[Sniffer]

Did that hit the bat first? Only got radio commentary and they think that Nicholls may have got away with that.

 

[Carrotdude]

I think he’s got away with it, but it wasn’t conclusive I guess? I think it’s pad first though

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He didn't hit it, hard for Dar to say that 100% based on the evidence though.
