Shahbaz Nadeem 6/0(2)

Full and wide of off, Martin Guptill drags this down to long on and takes a single to close the over. A good one for KSO as Shahbaz Nadeem gives away just 2 off it.
9.5
.
Quicker and fuller, on leg. Martin Guptill blocks it back towards Nadeem.

Leggie, wide of off. Hamilton Masakadza backs away and punches this down to long off for a single.
9.3
.
Full, outside off, slowing down the pace and bowling it even wider, seeing Masakadza shuffle a long way across his stumps. The Zimbabwean misses his sweep and is hit on the pads.
9.2
.
Oh dear, was there a glove on that? Dear me, it was! Landed outside off, Hamilton Masakadza looked to play the reverse sweep but got beaten. The ball hit the glove, popped up to Richard Levi the keeper, who tried to adjust to the extra bounce. Fumbled in the first attempt, tried to take it in the second by diving forward but in vain.
9.1

Full, around off, watchfully defended.

Pravin Tambe 16/0(2)

SIX! HIGH AND HANDSOME! Tossed up, around middle and off, Martin Guptill gets down on a knee, meets this right under his eyeline and slog sweeps this way behind the fence and into the stands towards the deep mid-wicket region for six runs. This has indeed landed outside the stadium.
8.5
.
Too full, on off this time. Martin Guptill drills this powerfully down the ground but Pravin Tambe does well to get down in time and field this. Not what he would have intended though as Martin Guptill hammered this powerfully.
8.4
.
Too full, under the bat of Guptill. Drilled back to the bowler.
8.3

Fuller, outside off, Martin Guptill leans and lofts this over cover. By the time long off can get around to his left, two runs are taken.
8.2

A bit short, around middle, Masakadza swivels and pulls. Nearly finds Kevin O'Brien at deep mid-wicket. The ball lands just in front. A single taken.

FOUR! Great effort by Dilshan Munaweera. A full toss, outside off, Hamilton Masakadza shapes up for the reverse sweep and connects. Gets it past the diving slip fielder, to his right. Munaweera gives it a good chase from short third and almost gets to the ball, diving and trying to pull it back. Is unsuccessful as the ball touches the ropes, but the Sri Lankan needs to be careful here. The outfield is not lush, so any desperate diving could result in injuries.

Shahbaz Nadeem 4/0(1)
7.6
.
Tossed up, wide of off, Martin Guptill looks to block this one and gets beaten yet again on the outside.

FOUR! NEARLY A WICKET! Gives it a bit more air, on off, turning away from Guptill. The batter prods forward and looks to block with hard hands. Gets an outside edge that flies between the keeper and first slip. The ball races away to the fence for four. Morale victory for the bowler but Martin Guptill will take the runs.
7.4
.
Arm-delivery this time but just down the wrong line as this appeared to be going down the leg. Martin Guptill has no idea of what Shahbaz Nadeem is doing.
7.3
.
Hattrick of plays and misses! At the moment, Guppy is struggling to pick Nadeem. Fuller, around middle, Martin lunges to defend but is beaten comprehensively as the ball pitches and then whizzes a mile away past the outside edge.
7.2
.
And again. Nadeem tries to make the ball spin away from outside leg stump now. He misses his mark, landing it on middle and leg, Guptill comes forward to defend but is beaten by the away turn.
