Kobe Pittman 3-0-18-1
17.1 Chris Johnson to Oliver Queen, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close. (0)
17.2 Chris Johnson to Oliver Queen, 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)
17.3 Chris Johnson to Roger Mukasa, 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)
17.4 Chris Johnson to Roger Mukasa, Gosh, how unlucky can you be. He's absolutely nailed that, but straight to the fielder. No run. (0)
17.5 Chris Johnson to Roger Mukasa, Ah, he's beaten by the movement! It moved in the air, and deviated away off the pitch, taking the offstump with it! No chance for the batsman there, he just walks away bemused.
