10.5
Southee to Matthew Cross, out Bowled!! Clean bowled. That's the experience of Southee responding to the batter. This ball is still nibbling around, so Southee keeps it at the very front end of the back of a length zone. Cut back in a tad, Cross was rushed on the back foot and playing across the line wasn't going to work. The ball sneaked through the gate to hit top of middle and leg. End of a two-paced stay from Cross. Was on fire at one point, then struggled to put bat on ball for some 10 odd balls. Matthew Cross b Southee 27(29) [4s-5]
