2.30Matthew Potts to Travis Head
Another excellent delivery. This is disciplined bowling. Not giving Australia anything. On a good length, outside off, Travis looks to tuck it away but misses. The ball hits his right thigh and rolls back on, almost hitting the leg stump! Head had no idea where the ball went.
-
2.20Matthew Potts to Travis Head
Again, Matthew Potts tucks Head for room. He is not giving the southpaw any width and Travis is looking to make something happen. Looks to tuck this one away but it comes in big time with the seam, beats the flick and catches him on the pads.

Big movement off the seam. Outside off, on a length, Short is not prepared for the movement at all and does not offer any shot. Then he decides to play it but is months late by the time the bat comes down, as the ball skids onto the pad and rolls towards short third. A leg bye taken but a closer look might indicate that it should have been given as a dead ball as Short did not offer a shot.

On a good length, just around off, Matthew Short defends it towards cover.

Landed around middle, Travis Head punches this behind point for a single.

Olly Stone will have the second new ball in his hand. Both teams will have DLS worksheets with them. Eoin Morgan on air informs us that if the game is stopped at 20 overs, the target for Australia is 86, if they do not lose a wicket. That will obviously increase, as and when a wicket falls.

0.61 lbMatthew Potts to Travis Head
Nips back in sharply from outside off, TH is caught in his crease as he looks to flick and is hit on the pads. A leg bye taken.
