    Webster to Sandhu
    oh dear, oh dear. Sandhu is beaten but keeper Joe Clarke misses it too, and the ball beats him to the boundary. Clarke had taken his glove off anticipating the possibility of the batters trying to sneak in a bye. The thinking was spot on, execution not quite. What an extraordinary game of cricket we've witnessesd to kickstart the BBL season. Terrific, terrific match!

    Webster to Sandhu
    backs away to go over cover but is cramped for room, can't hit it past Boult at short cover. They don't risk a run.

    Webster to Sandhu
    holy-moly! Sandhu has nailed this pull. Clears the ropes as well. This was a short ball but didn't rise as much. Webster shouldn't be bowling those at this stage, not at his pace certainly. Sandhu held his shape and absolutely muscled it as it arrived. Just over the ropes. They need 1 now.
    19.3

    Webster to Doggett
    wrists this down to long-on, a single is all they'll get. 7 off 3

    Webster to Fazalhaq Farooqi
    hits bulls eye. Webster claims another. Farooqi is backing away to play an almighty heave but misses it altogether. The good'ol tailender's slog. Thunder right on the edge.
    19.1

    Webster to Green
    that's a second super catch that Couch has pulled off. Green thinks he's absolutely nailed this hit, Couch, who is 20 yards inside the ropes at long-off, has nearly misjudged it but ends up back-pedaling just a touch and then puts in a leap to grab the stunner. What a moment.

    Wood to Sandhu
    beaten as Wood bangs one in from wide of the crease to beat Sandhu who is looking to flay that over cover

    Wood to Sandhu
    pressure ball, important boundary. Superb hit that. Backed away and swung this length ball into the leg side. Held his shape nicely before biffing that to the long-on boundary
    18.4
    0
    Wood to Sandhu
    beaten as Wood hits the hard deck and extracts bounce. Sandhu backs away to slap over cover but is beaten
    18.3
    1
    Wood to Green
    cramped for room as he plays a short-arm jab, this one lobs back down the pitch, but wide of the bowler on his followthrough
    18.2

    Wood to Sandhu
    stands tall and tucks this into the leg side for a single
    18.1

    Wood to Green

    Boult to Green
    pushed to cover, they scamper a single as the throw comes in at the non-striker's end.

    Boult to Sandhu
    hammered but it's a superb stop at mid-on by Coulter-Nile. Threw himself full-stretch to his right to save three. Sandhu had absolutely nailed that
    17.4
    1
    Boult to Green
    shortish delivery on middle, rolled his fingers across the seam to take the pace off, pulled to deep square leg
    17.3
