2. 13.613.6, dot ball
  Mukesh Choudhary to Gibson, no run
  attacks the stumps by going around the wicket, plays right back down the pitch to end the over. That's stumps on Day 2
3. 13.513.5, dot ball
  Mukesh Choudhary to Gibson, no run
  slants a length ball across, Gibson is right besides the line as he defends
4. 13.413.4, dot ball
  Mukesh Choudhary to Gibson, no run
  late inswing to hit the pad as he looks to play around this full delivery
5. 13.313.3, dot ball
  Mukesh Choudhary to Gibson, no run
  gets right on top of the bounce as he defends to the off side
6. 13.213.2, dot ball
  Mukesh Choudhary to Gibson, no run
  that is a peach! Has the batter tied to the crease as he pokes unconvincingly. Beaten by the away-swinger while he was playing for the one that comes in.
7. 13.113.1, dot ball
  Mukesh Choudhary to Gibson, no run
  slips a short ball down leg, through to Jurel who dives to his left to stop

  Mukesh Kumar to Foxcroft, no run
  touch fuller and outside off, left alone
3. 12.512.5, 2 runs
  Mukesh Kumar to Foxcroft, 2 runs
  flicks this off the pads into the gap at square leg, Mukesh Choudhary comes around from long leg to cut that off
4. 12.412.4, dot ball
  Mukesh Kumar to Foxcroft, no run
  solid in defence as Mukesh bowls length outside off from wide of the crease
5. 12.312.3, 4 runs
  Mukesh Kumar to Foxcroft, FOUR
  that's a lovely off-drive. Feet right to the pitch of the ball as he laces this back past mid-off. Didn't try to hit it hard. Just hands and timing
6. 12.212.2, dot ball
  Mukesh Kumar to Foxcroft, no run
  squared up a hint by the length, but solidly defends to the off side
7. 12.112.1, dot ball
  Mukesh Kumar to Foxcroft, no run
  zippy length delivery that darts away off the seam from a fifth-stump line, left alone
1. End of over 122 runs
  30/2Choudhary 1-0-1-0Gibson 1 (8) · Foxcroft 4 (21)
2. 11.611.6, dot ball
  Mukesh Choudhary to Gibson, no run
  nips back in to hit him high on the thigh. The ball skids back in faster than he anticipates.

  Mukesh Choudhary to Foxcroft, 1 run
  tucked with the angle to long leg for a single
4. 11.411.4, dot ball

5. 11.311.3, 1 bye
  Mukesh Choudhary to Gibson, 1 bye
  beaten outside off, the ball lands short of Jurel who can't collect it cleanly. So they get a bye.

  Mukesh Choudhary to Gibson, no run
  full, straight and some late tail in, dug out.
7. 11.111.1, dot ball

  beauty! Angles in from wide of the crease, hits the deck and then straightens to beat the outside edge.
4. 10.410.4, 1 run
  Bumrah to Foxcroft, 1 run
  tucks it gently off past square leg for a single. In playing that ball, he's taken a knock on the finger as the ball thudded into his gloves.

  Bumrah to Foxcroft, no run
  right into the blockhole from wide of the crease, kept out
