C Morris to P Chawla, FOUR! Lucy there for Chawla. Morris changes the pace of the ball here and bowls a off cutter. Chawla goes for the drive as the ball takes the inside edge and rolls fine behind for a boundary. The ball was too close to the leg stump.

Overs18.2
Score161 - 6

C Morris to A Russell, OUT! Caught in the deep! Russell departs. Read that again. DRE RUSS OUT. But another good innings. And let us praise the field placement and the execution of the plan. The strategy was to bowl full and wide outside off and force Russell to go on the off side. It was a low full toss outside off and Andre squeezed it out. Gave it direction but it went straight to Kagiso Rabada at deep backward point who simply did not have to move an inch. Russell goes down on his haunches but he has been well trapped here.

K Rabada to A Russell, Ouch! That would hurt. Morris ends the over with a full toss near the waist on middle, Russell goes for the big heave but the ball takes an inside edge and hits him onto the box. He looks in some pain here.

K Rabada to A Russell, Excellent change of line here. He almost bowls an absolute peach of a yorker. Russell could do nothing but keep it out and the ball rolls towards mid on for a single.

K Rabada to A Russell, SIX! Another mistimed stroke goes the distance! Short and on middle, following the batsman again, Russell looks to pull but the ball takes the top edge and sails over mid-wicket this time!

K Rabada to A Russell, SIX! What. A. Shot. Rabada can just stand over there and admire the hit. He has followed Russell with a short ball but what has the Jamaican done? He has gone through with the pull shot, with his eyes closed. It sails the distance over square leg!

Overs16.5
Score143 - 5

C Morris to A Russell, SIX! Colossal! Well you don't bowl those to any batsman. Morris bowls a waist height full toss to Russell, he just clobbers it over deep mid-wicket and for a maximum. Russell asks for a no-ball and that looked close but the leg umpire denies to it so it will be a legal delivery.

C Morris to A Russell, OUT OF MY WAY! Oh dear... poor Brathwaite. He is smiling and thank God for the abdomen guard. This was hammered. Absolutely nailed. Short and outside off, Russell backs away and slaps it straight back. Unfortunately for him and more unluckily for his partner, it is straight at his box. Brathwaite tries to duck but is hit on the box. Ouch. But he shows no pain. Instead, he shows a thumbs up and smiles! Strong man...

A bit of sawdust being sprayed around the bowler's landing area. Apparently, Morris was slipping, so he called for the same.
