Ish Sodhi to Willey, SIX, 18 off the over! What has Santner done there? Dropped and then helped it over the ropes for a six. A flighted googly outside off, Willey crouched low to slog it away. Didn't time it as well as he'd liked it to. Santner at wide long-on was a bit lazy as he jumped up

11.4
Ish Sodhi to Malan, FOUR, six and now a four! Premeditated shot, Malan goes for the reverse-sweep against this shortened length ball. Off the top part of the bat, but had enough to go over backward point
11.3
Ish Sodhi to Malan, SIX, it's gone out of here! Right off the meat of the bat. Lots of flight on this ball, but the length was too full. Overpitched and Malan took heavy toll of it. Went down on one knee and nailed the slog sweep over deep mid-wicket

Munro to Malan, 1 run, tucks this short of length delivery on the pads to fine leg and keeps the strike. Just 3 off the over
7.5
Munro to Malan, no run, a juicy full toss and Munro gets away with it. The batsman stayed leg-side of the ball and crashed it straight to the man at extra cover. A couple of inches either way and that'd have raced away
7.4
Munro to Hales, 1 run, in-angler on middle and leg, clipped to deep mid-wicket
6.6
Ish Sodhi to Hales, SIX, uh oh! That was a tossed up delivery but with in the batsman's range. The batsman knelt down and slog swept the ball over deep mid. 11 of the over. Take that! Harsh on the leggie as he bowled a pretty good over

5.6
Southee to Malan, 3 runs, T20 is meant for the batsman only. The batsman backed away, the bowler again followed with a length ball. The batsman looked to force the ball away into the off-side but inside edged the ball fine onto the on-side for a triple. England would be happy with the powerplay bargain
5.5
Southee to Malan, FOUR, short again, the batsman was ready for it. The batsman lent a lot of power into the pull and placed it well to bisect the men in the deep. Deep square leg and deep mid had no chance as the ball thudded into the ad boards
