51.1

50.6
Sohail Khan to Watling, FOUR, looked like a very intentional steer past the slips. Hung back and opens the bat face to usher away this back of a length delivery. Not middled but will do

45.4
Amir to C de Grandhomme, no run, Some noise as the ball passed the bat but that didn't sound woody. Going across de Grandhomme, who had a flirt but was beaten. Immediately reviews.

C de Grandhomme lives on
