0.1 Imran Khan to Covvy, I'd like to thank the lady in Seat 27 Row D for the fabulous cake she's sent us! Triple Chocolate Fudge with Mint, my favourite! Oh, and no run. (0)
0.2 Imran Khan to Covvy, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single. (1)
0.3 Imran Khan to KBC, Driven down the ground to long-on, the batsmen get only one (1)
0.4 Imran Khan to Covvy, Uppercut over the slip fielders and away for four! Cheeky shot! (4)
0.5 Imran Khan to Covvy, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call. (0)
0.6 Imran Khan to Covvy, Edged and over the slip fielder! Two runs while third man tidies up. (2)

1.5 Ian Botham to Covvy, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! There is a fielder after it...he's runs hard...and takes the catch! Well done sir!

2.1 Imran Khan to KBC, Oooh! Good ball, yorker length delivery on the legstump. The batsman just barely gets his bat down on time, and the non striker urges him through for a quick single. (1)
2.2 Imran Khan to Viv Richards, Flicked off his hips through the vacant square leg region for two runs. The captain decides to remove a man from gully to cover up that spot. (2)
2.3 Imran Khan to Viv Richards, I'd like to complement the gentleman in Seat 24 Row A for being so sharply dressed in that Armani Suit. Especially in this heat. Great show...huh? What's that? Oh right, the batsmen took a single, I think. (1)

3.2 Ian Botham 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)
3.3 Ian Botham to Viv Richards, They run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman dives...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding! (3)
3.4 Ian Botham to KBC, EDGED AND TAKE...DROPPED! The keeper drops it! A simple chance and he fluffs it! Deary me. The batsmen steal a single while laughing, the bowler has his hands on his head... (1)
