Kyle Jamieson Takes Two as England Chases 453

Kyle Jamieson to Jacob Bethell, OUT! LBW! Huge appeal and up goes the finger of the umpire. That's two in the over and the start could not have been better for the visitors as well as Kyle Jamieson.

Kyle Jamieson to Jacob Bethell, Slanting down the leg side, Jacob Bethell initially looks to flick it, but as he sees the ball is harmless to him, he makes a leave.

Kyle Jamieson to Emilio Gay, OUT! CAUGHT! Just what the Kiwis were hoping for, and it's Kyle Jamieson who draws the first blood. He delivers it fuller, angling in, around off. Emilio Gay walks across the stumps and flicks it off his pads, but there is a catching short square leg fielder just for these opportunities. Gay gets the timing right, but cannot keep it on the ground, and the ball flies flat to the left of Rachin Ravindra in that region. Rachin bends low on his left and catches it safely. England lose their first wicket early, chasing 453 runs.

Matt Henry to Emilio Gay, Another bouncer, around the shoulder of the batter. Gay swivels on his back foot, lifts his front leg up and pulls it away to deep fine leg with some style. Single taken.

Matt Henry to Emilio Gay, FOUR! Now that's a shot and a half! Back of a length, slanting it just outside off. Emilio Gay lets the ball come at him and punches it a bit late to beat the right of the short cover fielder for the boundary.

Kyle Jamieson to Ben Duckett, WIDE! Back of a length, pitching it way outside off and swings away as well. Ben Duckett leaves it and Tom Blundell does well to fling himself to his left to collect it single-handedly.

Kyle Jamieson to Emilio Gay, FOUR! Off the mark in a streaky way. Back of a length outside off, kicks off the deck sharply. Gay goes back but is caught by surprise, a fraction late withdrawing the bat, and the ball grazes the edge and flies past the diving second slip fielder to his left. Four runs.

Matt Henry to Emilio Gay, Edged and just short! Fuller and angling across outside off, Gay gets forward to defend and gets a thick outside edge. It does not carry. Blundell dives to his left, gets his gloves to it but cannot hold on, and the ball spills away behind first slip. A single is all it amounts to.
