The second innings begins now
0.1 Kapil Dev to Don Tallon,
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)
0.2 Kapil Dev to Don Tallon, Yorker full and outside offstump, the batsman just squeezes it away for a quick single to cover. (1)
0.3 Kapil Dev to Viv Richards, Tries to late cut that away but misses it, and the ball thuds into the keeper's gloves. No run. (0)
0.4 Kapil Dev to Viv Richards, And time for the reverse-sweep! Quite a daring and often needless shot if you ask me, but the batsman pulls it off well enough to get two more. (2)
0.5 Kapil Dev to Viv Richards, Tries to late cut that away but misses it, and the ball thuds into the keeper's gloves. No run. (0)
0.6 Kapil Dev to Viv Richards, And the camera pans to show a hot chick in Row C. Rumours have it that she is either Zorax's date for the night, or an assasin out to kill him. I guess we'll find out one way or another by tommorrow...oh, right. No run. (0)

Post match Analysis said:
What a match! What a match! Manchester Divided Fans Literally erupt a human volcano! So do the players, the monkey park lads reflect their Monkey nature! Vatican are stunned! Having scored
140 for the fall of 6 wickets, Vatican Captain
Kshitiz's grin was Shining into the orbit, but a fuse in the shine says it all, Manchester Divided have just squared the hopes and the series
1-1, with an Incredible final to go!
KBC and Covvy Scoring 69* and 57 respectively shivers the winter.
KBC ends the drama hitting
4, 4, 6, 6 off the last four balls faced to end the match in style!
The Manchester Divided bowlers,
Arslaan_Khalid being the pick of the bowlers, with stunning figures of 3/10 off 3.0 overs, Dr. Pepper and ZoraxDoom helped rip through the bats of Vatican. Provided a good start by
Gudduthemaster and Geoffery Boycott Scoring 43* and 41 respectively put up a loose bridge to Man D. Vatican were actually off to a really good start, putting their usual magic spell breaks on Manchester Divided, leaving Manchester Divided on a trail much worse than those in F1 Pit-stops; But
KBC and Covvy Showed MAN D side of roar, and sent Vatican flying. Don't ask where, but I'm sure they'll be at the next match. Thank you all for being here with us for this Astonishing match, and no single crowd has left the stadium, binding a blinder of a twister in the final encounters in the competition. Got to go before it gets more wilder. Wooh.
Man of the Match: Arslaan Khalid for his beautiful figures of 10/3 off 3.0 overs that helped Vatican fall off in their own borders.
