Chris Green is in a chat with the on-air commentators. He says that to bowl off-spin in the Powerplay, you need to be brave and put more energy into the ball. On his carrom ball, he says that he spent about a year trying to perfect it and bowls it a lot in the nets.

Drags his length again, around off, from over the wicket, Jack Edwards goes deep in the crease and cuts it lately wide of point for a single to end the over.

On a nagging length, around off, Josh Philippe comes forward and drives it wide of cover for a single.

Drags his length, around middle, Jack Edwards nudges it to deep mid-wicket for a single to get off the mark.

Quicker, flat on leg, Josh Philippe clips it wide of square leg for a single.
Jack Edwards walks in next at number 3, replacing James Vince.
OUT!, MISCOMMUNICATION AND VINCE IS RUN OUT! So that dropped catch does not cost the Thunder. Not sure how did Vince think there was a single on offer. Down the leg side, Josh Philippe looked to tuck it to the leg side but missed. The ball deflected off his pads and went behind. Now, Vince wanted the single but Philippe was busy searching for the ball. He responded though, taking a couple of steps but then started to look for the ball. Taking those two steps as a yes, Vince continued running, till he reached a point where he could have actually congratulated Philippe on locating the ball.

DROPPED! Third one in the innings, but that was a sharp chance. Flighted, on middle, James Vince comes down the track and smashes it straight back to the bowler. Tanveer Sangha is almost looking to save himself but the ball rockets past his right hand to mid on. A single taken.
4.1

An LBW appeal first up. Sangha hurries one through, the googly, around middle and leg, James Vince looks to flick but misses and is hit on the pads.
5th bowler in 5? Yes! Tanveer Sangha into the attack now.

Around off, a similar shot played but this time with lesser power. Sweeper cover gets across and keeps the batters to a couple.
