4.1 D Payne to S Smith
1 Bowls it on the fuller side of length, pace-off, 114.9 kph, from over the wicket. Gets it to shape inwards too. Smith tried to punch it downtown without moving his feet and ended up inside-edging it onto his pad. Picks one as the ball rolls towards cover.
David Payne is into the attack straight after powerplay.
