Sam Curran to T Kohler-Cadmore, FOUR runs

Curran gets a reward for that good delivery! Jaiswal gets a faint tickle on the pads! The ball dribbles down to the fine leg boundary. It wasn't the most convincing connection, with the inside half of the bat doing the job. But in the end, all that matters are the runs on the board. Curran, however, will be buoyed by that late inswing that deceived the batsman.

Sam Curran to Jaiswal, OUT

Jaiswal tries to power this one straight down the ground, with minimal footwork. But watch out! Curran's delivery snakes in just a touch late, taking a thick inside edge off Jaiswal's bat. The ball crashes onto the stumps, shattering the bails. Curran erupts in celebration, a massive wicket for the seamer!

The first ball delivered, goes for FOUR!!

The ball explodes past the boundary! A hint of width takes it away from the fielder's despairing dive, and Jaiswal muscles it through the covers with a resounding crack. No chance for the fielders to even attempt a stop!
