9.6: Josh Tongue to Ben Curran, Length ball on off, Ben Curran gets right behind the line of the ball and defends it back to the bowler. A loud call of 'NO' from the batter and that will be Stumps on Day 2!

4
9.4: Josh Tongue to Sean Williams, FOUR! Punched through covers. A touch fuller and outside off, Sean Williams stays in his crease and punches it through the extra cover region to pick up a boundary.

2
9.3: Josh Tongue to Sean Williams, Back of a length on off, Sean Williams steers it past third slip. The fielder from gully was quick to cut that off and throw it back. Batters had comfortably completed two but Sean Williams wanted the third and he was almost halfway through. Ben Curran makes the right call to send him and the former just about makes it back in time.

4
9.2: Josh Tongue to Sean Williams, FOUR! Poor from Josh Tongue and dealt with by Sean Williams! Back of a length, sliding down leg, Sean Williams helps it on its way as he pulls it behind square towards the vacant deep fine leg region for four.

7.2: Josh Tongue to Craig Ervine, OUT! CAUGHT! Brilliant from Josh Tongue and Ben Stokes! The field placement has paid off on the very next delivery. They placed Ollie Pope at forward short leg just before this delivery and Craig Ervine manages to find him as he gives an easy catch to Pope. This was a length delivery on middle, Ervine looks to flick it and gets a leading edge that lobs up in the air towards forward short leg who gobbles it up easily.

0
63.1: Gus Atkinson to Blessing Muzarabani, Full on middle, Blessing Muzarabani swings through the line, he doesn't middle it one bit, as the ball goes along the ground to short mid-wicket.

0
61.4: Gus Atkinson to Tanaka Chivanga, OUT! LBW! A yorker swinging in on middle, Tanaka Chivanga looks to dig it out and gets beaten as the ball hits his front pad. Appeal for LBW and not given. England are confident and they go for the review. Here's the third umpire on screen. There it is the ball has clearly hit the pad first. Ball Tracking coming up. Pitching in line, impact in line and hitting the leg stump. Three reds. The on-field call has to be reversed. Tanaka Chivanga has to go.

1
61.3: Gus Atkinson to Blessing Muzarabani, Full this time, on middle, Blessing Muzarabani makes some room and looks to drive it down the ground. He doesn't middle it as the ball trundles along to the right of mid off who cuts it off. Single taken.

4
96.2: Blessing Muzarabani to Harry Brook, FOUR! Harry Brook's in a hurry here! Full on middle, Harry Brook skips down the track and lofts it over mid on. The mid on fielder goes running behind the ball and tries to push the ball away from the ropes, near the boundary, but fails to do so.

6
96.1: Blessing Muzarabani to Harry Brook, SIX! Harry Brook gets to his FIFTY in style! Short ball, just outside off, Harry Brook picks it up from there and pulls it way over deep backward square leg for six. An enterprising knock so far from Brook.

Jamie Smith goes feeling at it as he outside edges it to the right of the wicket-keeper, who takes a step to his right and gets a good right hand on it, but can't quite hang on to it.

0
95.5: Tanaka Chivanga to Jamie Smith, On a good length, wide outside off. Shaping away from the right-hander, Jamie Smith thinks to go after it but leaves it alone in the end.

4

0
94.5: Blessing Muzarabani to Ben Stokes, OUT! CAUGHT! Short ball that rises viciously on Ben Stokes who is absolutely taken aback by this short ball as he takes his eyes off the ball.
