Lockie Ferguson to George Linde, FOUR, this is crunched. A half-volley on middle, George Linde backs away and drills it between the extra-cover and mid-off fielders. That was hit so so hard

Lockie Ferguson to George Linde, FOUR, slower-ball, the leg-cutter and full on leg-stump, George Linde makes room slightly and goes over extra-cover, dribbles away to the fence, he didn't hit that right off the middle but got it over the infield

Kyle Jamieson to Ottneil Baartman, no run, another massive nipbacker. Ottneil Baartman with a big smile on his face at Kyle Jamieson. This seams in a long way, from outside off and flies over middle-stump as Baartman looks to drive and the seam movement and the extra bounce takes it over the stumps. That was a cracking over

Kyle Jamieson to Ottneil Baartman, no run, another big nipbacker and this cuts Ottneil Baartman in half. It nips back in from outside off and flicks the hip I think of the batter who has no clue again. Kyle Jamieson appeals for a caught behind but there was no bat

Kyle Jamieson to Ottneil Baartman, no run, short of length and right into the box of Ottneil Baartman. That will hurt for sure. Big nipbacker and Baartman had no clue there. He is down on his haunches and now flat on the ground. The physio is out there stretching his legs. A break in play

Kyle Jamieson to George Linde, SIX, slower-ball on a fuller length outside off, George Linde gets forward and lofts, used his long levers and the ball flies over long-on. The fielder was a spectator

Lockie Ferguson to Ottneil Baartman, no run, short of length on off, Ottneil Baartman goes on the back foot and turns with a closed-face to deep backward square-leg. They don't run as Linde wants the strike
