Travis Head 59(23)
5.6
Saqib Mahmood to Head, out Caught by Jordan Cox!! A huge roar of relief from the crowd! Last ball of the powerplay gets England a reward. And it is the much needed wicket of Travis Head. A gutsy slower length ball on the body, Head clears the front leg for a big pull shot but ends up skying this one. High in the air and Cox from deep backward square leg runs forward to settle under the catch. Still, 86 runs off the powerplay, a tough start to captaincy for Phil Salt. Head c Jordan Cox b Saqib Mahmood 59(23) [4s-8 6s-4]
