| 0.2 : 0.2: H Carlyon to N Khan, FOUR! Full and around off, Nizakat gets down and mows a slog sweep through square leg! |
| 0.3 : 0.3: H Carlyon to N Khan, FOUR! This is short and outside off, Khan goes back and cuts it through point! |
| 0.4 : 0.4: H Carlyon to N Khan, SIX! Leg spin from Carylon and it disappears! Floated, around off, Nizakat gets down and slog sweeps it over mid-wicket! |
| 1.3 : 1.3: D Blampied to N Khan, FOUR! This is a scoring opportunity. Full and outside off, Nizakat opens up a touch and drives it through the covers! He started in overdrive and continues... |
| 3.6 : 3.6: E Miles to N Khan, FOUR! FABULOUS! Full and outside off, Nizakat leans and drives it through the covers. There is a sweeper in the deep but he gives it up. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: D Blampied to N Khan, FOUR! '50 for Nizakat Khan!' says my colleague from here. Full and wide outside off, Khan bashes it through the covers! |
| 5.1 : 5.1: Ben Stevens to A Abbasi, OUT! Caught! There goes the first wicket. Short and outside off, Abbasi looks to cut but the ball takes the outside edge. Miles at short third man takes a very good low catch. The 48-run opening stand has been broken. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: C Perchard to A Bhagwat, OUT! Caught! The young man goes for a solitary run. Landed outside off, Bhagwat cuts it but it is straight to Nick Greenwood at short third man! The bowling change works. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: E Miles to K Shah, FOUR! Nice shot. Full and outside off, Kinchit comes down the track and bashes it wide of long off for a boundary! |
| 9.2 : 9.2: B Ward to N Khan, FOUR! POUNDED! What a shot. Full and outside off, Nizakat backs away and powers it through the covers! |
| 9.4 : 9.4: B Ward to N Khan, OUT! Caught! No half century for Nizakat. Short and outside off, Khan backs away and looks to punch but the ball skids off the surface, hits the top portion of the bat and goes to Stevens at short extra cover. Simple catch. End of a lovely knock. Is this the spark Jersey needed? |
| 10.2 : 10.2: N Greenwood to A Khan, OUT! BOWLED! Right through his legs! How did he miss? A quick short ball, around leg stump, Aizaz swivels, looking to pull but the ball skids through, goes between his legs and hits the timber! The captain departs for a duck. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: B Ward to K Shah, OUT! Caught! So after a missed stumping, missed run out, dropped catch, leading edges not carrying, Kinchit's luck finally runs out. Full and outside off, Shah gets down and mows a slog sweep. The connection is sweet but he finds deep mid-wicket to perfection! Charles Perchard completes the formalities. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: B Ward to S Singh, OUT! BOWLED! Googled by the googly! Top nut from Ward. Floated outside off, Simandeep looks to drive but the ball spins in, goes beneath the bat and hits the stumps! Ward is all pumped up. It is his third wicket, in the span of 6 balls! |
| 17.4 : 17.4: D Blampied to W Barkat, FOUR! A BOUNDARY AFTER 49 BALLS! Barkat looks to play the reverse sweep but gets an under edge which runs down to third man for a boundary! |
| 18.1 : 18.1: C Perchard to S McKechnie, SIX! There you go. The first biggie of the night! Full and outside off, McKechnie gets down and mows a slog sweep way over mid-wicket! |
| 19.1: Ben Stevens to S McKechnie, FOUR! How did that hit the bat? McKechnie gets a long way across his stumps and Stevens fires it full on the stumps, Scott looks gone for all money but he just about gets his bat down in time for the sweep and edges it to the fine leg fence! |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Ben Stevens to W Barkat, FOUR! Up and over! Full and outside off, comes forward and lofts it over cover for a boundary! |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Ben Stevens to W Barkat, OUT! Caught! The 61-run stand is broken. Full and around middle and leg, Barkat gets down and plays the paddle sweep. However, he finds short fine leg where Ferraby dives forward and takes a good catch. This could be a match-winning stand for Hong Kong. |
| 0.3 : 0.3: K Christie to H Carlyon, FOUR! Nicely done! A good length ball on middle and leg, Carlyon goes back and hammers it fine down the leg side to get a boundary. |
| 0.4 : 0.4: K Christie to H Carlyon, FOUR! Not from the middle of the bat though. A shortish ball which is angled into the batter. Carlyon goes back to pull but the ball takes a top edge, goes on to hit the helmet and then rolls to the third man fence. |
| 1.1 : 1.1: K Shah to N Ferraby, OUT! Caught! Straight down the throat of short third man. Kinchit strikes first ball. He bowls a ball around off, Ferraby goes to reverse sweep, does so but can only manage to lob the ball straight to Christie. |
| 1.6 : 1.6: K Shah to H Carlyon, OUT! Timber! A wicket on the first ball of the over, and a wicket on the last ball. Jersey on the mats early in the run chase. A flighted ball around middle, Carlyon comes down the track to loft it over mid on for misses it altogether. The ball goes behind and disturbs the stumps. |
| 3.6: E Khan to Ben Stevens, FOUR! A much needed boundary that one. A flighted ball outside off, Stevens lofts it over mid off to get a boundary. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: K Shah to J Jenner, FOUR! Pummeled! A shortish ball on middle, Jenner pulls it through mid-wicket. The deep square leg fielder thought that he had a chance there but the ball was hit cleanly. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: K Shah to J Jenner, FOUR! Back-to-back boundary for Jenner. Shortish length, Jenner rocks back on the back foot to punch it through extra cover to get a boundary. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: K Shah to J Jenner, FOUR! Chance there? A shortish length ball from Shah, Jenner rocks back and hammers this towards deep mid-wicket. The fielder there was positioned to save a couple of runs and hence he was way inside the boundary line. The ball went just over him and into the fence. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: K Shah to Ben Stevens, FOUR! Inside out shot to perfection. Fifty run stand is up between the two. Going along nicely. Flighted ball outside off, Stevens dances down the track and lifts it sweetly over the cover region to get a boundary. |
| 10.3: A Khan to J Jenner, FOUR! Cut away! Short ball, on the fifth stump line, Jenner rocks back and late cuts the ball through gully and point. The ball races to the third man fence. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: A Khan to J Jenner, OUT! Bowled 'em! The skipper strikes! A good length ball around off, Jenner looks to heave but is late into the shot. He misses but the ball does not as it goes on to demolish the off pole. Can this be the opening Hong Kong were after? End of a 58-run stand. 72 more needed from 56 balls. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: W Barkat to Ben Stevens, DROPPED AND SIX! Welcome into the attack Mr. Barkat. A full ball on middle, in the slot for Stevens. He goes back and hammers it towards deep mid-wicket. Simandeep Singh there tries to catch, gets to the ball but he is not sure if he can hold on. He then tries to parry the ball inside the play but fails to do so. |
| 12.5 : 12.5: E Khan to Ben Stevens, OUT! BOWLED! Stevens has missed a full toss. A ball which should have been deposited into the stands. But the batsman is walking off instead. Stevens comes down the track and looks to force it through the line but misses. How? Don't know. Just missed it. So two set batsmen dismissed in the span of 14 balls. 59 more needed from 43 balls. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: E Khan to B Ward, OUT! BOWLED! Two in two, that has gone right through! Hong Kong are right back in this now. Ehsan is on a hat-trick. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: H Arshad to C Bisson, FOUR! Swatted away. A shortish length ball on middle, Bisson this time hammers it towards deep mid-wicket to get an important boundary. |
| 16.6 : 16.6: K Christie to C Bisson, SIX! Top shot this one form Bisson. A handy inning this one from him. Short ball on middle, he rocks back and hammers it over the mid-wicket fence. Longest part of the ground, Bisson clears it with ease. |
| 17.6: W Barkat to N Greenwood, OUT! This time the fielder pouches it comfortably. Nizakat Khan it is. On middle, Bisson Greenwood comes down the track to power it over the long on fielder but doesn't get the timing right. The ball lobs towards the fielder and he takes it lunging forward. |
