    7.5
    1
    Payne to Buttler
    Squeezed down to fine leg but Payne nailed the yorker again. Buttler tried to swipe it square on the leg side but got it off the inside edge
    7.4
    4
    Payne to Buttler
    Picked up, Willey overruns and slips. Falls over and that goes for four but all okay
    7.3
    2
    Payne to Buttler
    Payne follows him and gets the yorker just well enough to deny the boundary. Buttler made room again and drilled it to the right of long-on. They scamper for two
    7.2
    2
    Payne to Buttler
    Yorker is wedged off the toe, keeper has to run just to the edge of the circle and Buttler takes two. Buttler made room and tried drilling it over long-on
    7.1
    6
    Payne to Buttler
    Picked up, hit into the wind and the skimmer clears deep square leg.
    6.5
    1
    Willey to Turner
    Mows but can't clear deep square. Swung off the hips and it went to the right of deep midwicket. Stopped in front of the deep-square boundary
    6.4
    W
    Willey to Walter
    Too wide for Walter to reach and he's caught behind! Slower one is short and outside the off-side tramline. Walter went after it with his upper body leaning across, he tried to cut it hard and square. Edged it to the keeper
    6.3
    6
    Willey to Walter
    Pulled into the trees! Bouncer just outside off, Walter stood tall and whiplashed it. Dismissed it deep into the stands over midwicket. It deflected away to go out. 26 needed off 7 now
    6.2
    W
    Willey to Holden
    Great tumbling catch from Phillips. What does he have for food?! He ran swiftly to the left and went down to his left. Managed to hold onto it. Willey goes wider outside off to deny Holden from hitting towards midwicket. He tried to carve it away but could only slice it
    6.1
    4
    Willey to Holden
    Pulled. The camera pans, searching for the ball. It goes towards cow corner. One-bounce four. Shortish ball was fetched across
    5.5
    2
    Haris Rauf to Buttler
    Top edge off the pull... falls safe at midwicket! No one in the ring in front of square. Shortish ball had Buttler make room and go for the full-power pull.
    5.4
    1
    Haris Rauf to Holden
    Bouncer just down leg. Helped fine with the pull. Ball spins away from deep fine leg, but he's to stop it
    5.3
    1
    Haris Rauf to Buttler
    Pulls this shortish ball to deep midwicket. Went off the bottom of the bat, must've been the slower one
    5.2
    6
    Haris Rauf to Buttler
    Oh my word, he's smoked it over midwicket with what might be the most perfect bat swing. Stable base pro-max deluxe. Buttler just waited for the back-of-length ball to arrive towards him and hit it deep into the stands
    5.1
    0
    Haris Rauf to Buttler
    Pace being pace (yaar) beats Buttler's bat swing. It was on a hard length and Buttler tried to heave it over midwicket
    4.5
    4
    Payne to Buttler
    Through mid-off this time. Buttler cleared his front leg and mowed the full ball. Sizzled the grass and beat the fielder, diving to the right
    4.4
    6
    Payne to Buttler
    Heli-whipped over long-on. Kinda like the helicopter shot but drilled it over long-on. Unbelievable skill to elevate that yorker-length ball over the fielder
    4.3
    1
    Payne to Holden
    Tries the switch hit, the full ball is slow and Holden can't ramp it over short third. It goes to the keeper and they sneak a bye
    4.2
    1
    Payne to Buttler
    Very low full toss. Buttler was deep in the crease and drilled it to long-on
    4.1
    1
    Payne to Holden
    Top edged, long-on runs in but can't get to it. He had to think about the dive, decided not to and used his body as the second line of defence. It was a shortish ball that Holden tried to belt down the ground. Skied it up in the end
