18.6 Tom Curran to Liam Dawson
2 On a length and leg stump line. Swings hard and gets an inside edge to the right of deep fine leg. Returns for the 2nd run. Shy at the batting end is missed. Dawson dives in despair to get inside for the 2nd.
18.5 Tom Curran to Hilton Cartwright
1 Full on the off stump. Pushed back past the bowler. Roy runs in from long on into the circle, allows just 1.
