Ollie Pope 19(49)
49.4
Ajaz Patel to Ollie Pope, out Caught by Tom Blundell!! Patel breaks this partnership. Pope does not even wait for the umpire's decision. He started walking as soon as Tom Blundell took the catch. This was very similar to the first delivery - on the shorter side and outside off, Pope went for the cut and this time the outside edge is held by the keeper. This was much closer to him than the first ball and he also seemed to go bit too hard on the shot. Ollie Pope c Tom Blundell b Ajaz Patel 19(49) [4s-1]

Boult to Ollie Pope, 1 run, uhh! That was almost through Pope's defences. Sharp in-ducker and Pope was late in bringing his bat down, does so in the nick of time and squirts an inside edge to fine leg. He was clearly beaten for pace and deceived by the movement
