41.3 to AJ Stewart, quick ball pitching on the middle stump, angling across, Stewart plays outside it, clips the thigh, big appeal for caught behind, Venkat says yes after a Bucknor-esque wait, TV seems to indicate he was a bit unlucky. 175/2

14.5 to N Hussain, advances down the wicket for an attacking reason only known to him, misses the on drive, Kalu easily collects, Hussain has a short walk to the dressing room because of the amount of dancing he committed to. 50/1
