The batters try to sneak in a bye. Quinton de Kock lobs it towards Bosch, who is busy appealing for caught behind without any real conviction.

Cross-seam ball, dug in short, tucking the batter up for room. Green presses back in the crease for the pull but he cannot get his hands through the line of the ball and it also gets big on him.

Green goes down on the floor again and seems to have pulled up a muscle in the lower body.

47.3: Corbin Bosch to Cameron Green, SIX! Green does not miss out this time. Another yorker gone wrong as it comes out as a full toss. Not as high as the previous ball, as this comes at thigh height. Cameron lifts his back leg as he swats it behind square leg for a biggie.
