Christian 2-24(4 ov)
15.6
Christian to Ben Dunk, 2 runs, a free flowing off-drive. Makes the fielder at long-off run and slide in stopping this one
15.5
Christian to Jordan, 1 run, flat-batted fetching it from his ribs and helping it down to the mid-wicket fence. There is protection out there
15.4
Christian to Ben Dunk, 1 run, another patient wait. Sensible batting this. Uses the angle taking the ball away and steers it to third man
15.3
Christian to Jordan, 1 run, on a back of a length outside off, chopped to the man at point, who is needed to put in the dive to cut it off
15.3
Christian to Jordan, wide, and now he overdoes it. Way too short and Jordan would have needed another few inches of his height to deal with it. Sits under it in the meantime and the umpire stretches his arms too
15.2
Christian to Ben Dunk, 1 run, goes short, sits up nicely and Dunk pulls it across the line
15.1
Christian to Jordan, 1 run, stands back, waits for the ball to get close to him and with his body behind the line of the delivery just about pushes it to cover
13.6
Christian to Jono Dean, no run, another hoppy shuffle and follows it up with a tap off an opened bat face to point
13.5
Christian to Jono Dean, no run, back of a length on the abdomen at 138kph. Dealt with a standing bunt, only as far as the bowler
13.4
Christian to Ben Dunk, 1 run, a patient steer down to third man
13.3
Christian to Jono Dean, leg byes, 1 run, strides across and the ball hurries past the tuck. Is content stealing runs off the roll of the thigh pads
13.2
Christian to Pollard, out Lbw!! He's given him. There was barely an appeal from Christian. Only Paine from behind the stumps was insistent in his yelling and the umpire after a lengthy deliberation with himself budges and raises the dreaded finger. Pollard doesn't want to go. An in-nipping cutter off a good length to strike him on the front pad on the defence. The bat wasn't all that far away but a brave call from the umpire to rule that against him. Was well outside the crease as well. Here's the HawkEye - clipping the top of the bails. Pollard lbw b Christian 15(7) [4s-3]
13.1
Christian to Pollard, FOUR, you really do not bowl half volleys to Pollard. And he gets three in his six-ball stay already. On the pads as well and whipped away through mid-wicket. Getting there in a hurry
5.6
Christian to Ben Dunk, 1 run, to nipping back in, gets across with his shuffle to inherit the line and nudges it ever so softly to short mid-wicket
5.5
Christian to Ben Dunk, no run, just a tad short, and gets the sharp bounce off the wicket to go well over the cut attempt
5.4
Christian to Ben Dunk, no run, reaches forward and slaps it finding the fielder at cover to perfection
5.3
Christian to Ben Dunk, FOUR, not any more. Keeps getting the width and this time the overpopulated off-side is pierced. With a flashy square cut
5.2
Christian to Ben Dunk, no run, pushed further wide, Dunk as always cannot resists the chase, misses
5.1
Christian to Ben Dunk, no run, keeps angling it across the left handers, reaches out with the front leg towards the line of the delivery and keeps it out
2.6
Christian to Ben Dunk, no run, back to the wider side, on the fuller side now. An ambitious slash follows, only to watch the ball go past the blade
2.5
Christian to Ben Dunk, no run, much closer to off, stays back, rides the bounce and bunts it out
2.4
Christian to Ben Dunk, FOUR, excess width again. Another strayed in line delivery and Dunk pounces on it to slice it hard with the cut. Past the man at extra cover and that is all he had to do
2.4
Christian to Ben Dunk, wide, way too wide, Dunk looks to tuck and misses
2.3
Christian to Head, 1 run, just a soft tuck to mid-on to get off the mark
2.2
Christian to Jake Weatherald, out Bowled!! Much needed. Puts a break on the proceedings for the Hurricanes. Halts the one way traffic. An across the line too many for Jake Weatherald, who doesn't bother looking to adjust to the delivery that did not quite get up as expected. Pays the ultimate price watching his sticks light up. Jake Weatherald b Christian 10(8) [4s-2]
2.1
Christian to Jake Weatherald, no run, pulls the length back, with some width as well. No bat on ball with the attempted cut
