17.2 Colin de Grandhomme to Jason Mohammed, That wasn't a bad ball, but the batsmen went at it with everything except the kitchen sink, and got enough on it to send it over the fence! 6 more! (6)
17.3 Colin de Grandhomme to Jason Mohammed, Swing and a miss. No run. (0)
17.4 Colin de Grandhomme to Jason Mohammed, Gosh, how unlucky can you be. He's absolutely nailed that, but straight to the fielder. No run. (0)
17.5 Colin de Grandhomme to Jason Mohammed, One more to the total. (1)
17.6 Colin de Grandhomme to Sherwin Ganga, Scorching bouncer, the batsman clearly didn't expect that and just sways out of the way at the last moment! (0)

18.1 Michael Bates to Jason Mohammed, That's skied, but he's dropped it! Two more runs. (2)
18.2 Michael Bates to Jason Mohammed, He takes a step down the track and turns an attempted yorker into a full-toss, and dispatches it over long-on for six! (6)
18.3 Michael Bates to Jason Mohammed, Drilled away through midwicket for four, that shot had some power behind it! (4)
18.4 Michael Bates to Jason Mohammed, Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run. (1)
18.5 Michael Bates to Sherwin Ganga, He's hit that high and hard...the fielder is coming underneath it...will he catch it? NOOOO! He spills the chance! And to add insult to injury, the ball rolls away for four runs. The bowler is fuming! (4)
18.6 Michael Bates to Sherwin Ganga, Full toss, the batsman doesn't cash in and hits it straight to the man in the deep. Only one. (1)

19.1 Kyle Mills to Sherwin Ganga, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single. (1)
19.2 Kyle Mills to Jason Mohammed, Ah, great ball. It bounced more than the batsman expected it to, causing him to check his shot at the last moment and lob the ball into the air for an easy catch.

19.3 Kyle Mills to Kevon Cooper, Drilled away through midwicket for four, that shot had some power behind it! (4)
19.4 Kyle Mills to Kevon Cooper, Chipped, and lands safe. Two runs in the mean while. (2)
19.5 Kyle Mills to Kevon Cooper, The batsman sees the juicy half-volley outside off-stump, and decided that it deserved more than a spanking through the covers, and so thrashes it into the stands instead! 6 runs. (6)
19.6 Kyle Mills to Kevon Cooper, Slapped away through the offside for a glorious boundary! Lovely shot. The captain's fuming now and removes a man from third slip to cover that region. (4)
