Colin de Grandhomme 52(68)
41.6
Lyon to de Grandhomme, out Caught by Burns!! The milestone, and nothing more. It's greed that gets the better of him, losing concentration and only looking to smoke another out of here. He targets cow corner, doesn't get to the pitch of it, goes after a much straighter line with an aerial whip .. but the ball spins back in big, takes only the inside half and chips away down a waiting deep mid-wicket's throat. Okay, we're back to ending this today. de Grandhomme c Burns b Lyon 52(68) [4s-5 6s-1]
