Raza hurriedly gets his bat down and jams it out behind square leg. The fielder in the deep is quick to the ball but cannot prevent the batters from coming back for the second run.

49.5: Xavier Bartlett to Sikandar Raza, OUT! ERNEST MASUKU IS RUN OUT! Xavier Bartlett produces the direct hit. Spears in the yorker, angled in at the toes. Raza looks to dig it out, but the ball goes through his legs. As the ball goes behind towards the keeper, Ernest tries to sneak in a bye. He is nearly halfway before being sent back. Inglis lobs the ball towards Bartlett, who gathers it cleanly and turns around to hit the stumps at the bowling end with Masuku short of his ground. Blessing Muzarabani walks out to bat.

49.4: Xavier Bartlett to Sikandar Raza, FOUR! Gets it away. Into the wicket and it is the slower one, Raza walks across to the off side and sets himself up for the scoop. He does not have much pace to work with but manages to scoop it to the left of the keeper for a boundary.

49.3: Xavier Bartlett to Sikandar Raza, Nice change-up! Takes pace off, does Bartlett and the length is pulled back, on middle. Sikandar Raza has a big heave across the line but can only connect with thin air.

48.5: Nathan Ellis to Sikandar Raza, FOUR! Lovely shot! Ellis takes pace off and delivers it full, outside off.

48.5: Nathan Ellis to Sikandar Raza, Wide. Raza shimmies towards the leg side and Ellis responds by pushing it wider but ends up drifting beyond the guideline.

48.4: Nathan Ellis to Ernest Masuku, Tight single. It is the back-of-the-hand slower one, fuller and on off. Masuku keeps it out close to his body. The ball drops at his feet, and he is called through for a quick single by Raza. Ellis swoops in and has an underarm shy at the batting end but misses. It would not have mattered anyway, as Raza was in by then.

48.3: Nathan Ellis to Sikandar Raza, At 132 kph, outside off, on a length. Raza swings a bit too hard and loses his shape. Miscues it off the inner half to long on for a single.

47.4: Xavier Bartlett to Ernest Masuku, Tailing in at the toes, on the fuller side. Masuku is beaten on the flick and wears it on the pads. A stifled appeal for LBW, but it is turned down. The batters sneak in a leg bye as the ball rolls on the off side.
