| 0.4 : 0.4: I Okpe to N Ferraby, FOUR! That has been swatted! First boundary in the over. This is one more length ball on off, this is slightly shorter and on middle, Ferraby picks the length early and hammers it over mid-wicket. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: I Okpe to N Ferraby, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries! On the shorter side and with no fielder in the deep on the leg side, it is a Free Hit. Ferraby pulls it through square leg and the ball races away to the fence. |
| 1.1 : 1.1: V Adewoye to N Ferraby, FOUR! It is raining boundaries here! Two in the last over and one to start this one. Short and outside off, Ferraby waits for it and then guides it past the short third man fielder for one more boundary. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: V Adewoye to H Carlyon, SIX! Takes full toll off the Free Hit. This is right in the zone, full and on off, Carlyon lofts it over the long on fence for a biggie. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: V Adewoye to H Carlyon, FOUR! This is just poor, poor bowling! A full toss on the pads, the batter says thank you very much as he works it through square leg. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: V Adewoye to H Carlyon, FOUR! This is rubbish bowling! Another full toss on the body and with no fielder in the deep, it is always a boundary. Carlyon swings and gets it off the middle through mid-wicket. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: I Okpe to N Ferraby, FOUR! Fortunate boundary! Jersey won't care though. Ferraby comes down the track but this is a rare good delivery. It is on off and it jags back in. Ferraby looks to defend but gets an inside edge down to the fine leg fence. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: I Okpe to N Ferraby, OUT! KABOOM! Two top deliveries in a row, one just missed the stumps and the other knocks the off pole over. Okpe is delighted. Ferraby, who was dealing in boundaries is out of here. A much-needed wicket for Nigeria. This should lift them a little. Ferraby comes down the track and Okpe bowls it very full. NF ends up yorking himself. Fails to jam it out and the off pole goes for a walk. |
| 4.3: C Akachukwu to Ben Stevens, FOUR! Good improvisation. He makes room and the bowler bowls it short and outside off, it is slapped through cover-point and another boundary results. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: C Akachukwu to Ben Stevens, FOUR! Innovation at its best now. A length ball outside off, Stevens plays a reverse paddle scoop. He does it excellently and it goes over the short third man fielder. |
| 5.4: A Abioye to H Carlyon, OUT! Straight to the man! Picking wickets is probably the only way the run flow can be stopped and Nigeria have to do exactly that. The bowling change has worked. This is one is full and on off, very full actually. Carlyon looks to go over mid off but does not quite get under the deliver. He hits it flat to mid off where Onwuzulike takes an easy catch. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: C Akachukwu to J Jenner, FOUR! Cracking shot. Short and outside off, Jenner cuts it hard through point for a boundary. |
| 9.2: A Abioye to Ben Stevens, FOUR! Another reverse sweep! He loves that shot, doesn't he? Stevens plays it really well this time, right off the middle and over the short third man fielder. Boundary. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: A Abioye to J Jenner, SIX! Nailed! That was right in the zone for Jenner. It is full and around off. He drags it over the long on fence for a biggie. It sounded good and it is the perfect result too. |
| 10.1 : 10.1: D Ajekun to Ben Stevens, OUT! LBW! That is plumb in front. Another batter walks back after getting off toa start. Stevens looks to play the sweep which he has done quite well so far. The ball though is too full on middle. He fails to get bat on ball and is hit on the pads. An appeal and up goes the finger. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: S Adedeji to N Greenwood, FOUR! Nicely placed! This is a low full toss on off, Greenwood leans into it and places it wide of long off for a boundary. |
| 13.1 : 13.1: D Ajekun to J Jenner, SIX! That is out of here! What a strike that is. A huge hit that. This is fired on off, Jenner goes down on one knee and plays the slog sweep. Nails it over the mid-wicket fence. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: V Adewoye to N Greenwood, FOUR! Nice shot. Full delivery on middle, Greenwood lofts it over mid on for a boundary. |
| 16.2: S Adedeji to J Jenner, SIX! Going, going gone! Full and on off, Jenner clears his front leg and hammers it over the mid-wicket fence. |
| 17.2: C Akachukwu to N Greenwood, FOUR! Slapped! Uses his feet, stays leg side of the ball and powers it through covers for a boundary. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: V Adewoye to N Greenwood, FOUR! Nice improvisation! Length delivery on off, Greenwood plays a reverse scoop over third man for a boundary. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: V Adewoye to N Greenwood, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries for Nick Greenwood. Short of a length delivery, Greenwood pulls it through square leg for a boundary. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: V Adewoye to N Greenwood, OUT! BOWLED! Good length delivery on middle, Greenwood looks to play a scoop shot but misses it and gets bowled. Jersey were going for quick runs and that was the reason behind that shot. |
| 19.6: I Okpe to B Ward, NO BALL AND SIX! It was such a good over till then, this spoils it completely. A high full toss on off, Ward powers it over the long on fence. He just cleared it. |
| 0.2 : 0.2: A Hawkins-Kay to D Ajekun, FOUR! Powerful square cut! Short and wide outside off again, Ajekun cuts this one over the point fielder and the ball races to the fence. First boundary of the innings this. |
| 0.6 : 0.6: A Hawkins-Kay to D Ajekun, FOUR! Top edges this one and another boundary results! Short and wide outside off again, Ajekun goes for the upper cut but top edges this one fine towards the third man region for a boundary. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: D Blampied to L Oyede, FOUR! Errs in line and bowls this one wide outside off. Oyede cuts this one over point and a boundary results. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Ben Stevens to D Ajekun, FOUR! Brilliant shot! This was a touch short and close to the body, Ajekun makes a little bit of room and cuts it expertly through the gully region for a boundary. |
| 4.1: E Miles to D Ajekun, OUT! TIMBER! Ajekun's short innings comes to an end. Flatter delivery and shorter in length, Ajekun goes on the back foot and looks to cut this one. He misses and Miles hits the off stump. The opener has to walk back after a good start. Nigeria lose their first wicket. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: E Miles to S Adedeji, OUT! STUMPED! Brilliant work by the keeper here and Nigeria lose their second wicket in the same over. Miles pushes this one down the leg side, Adedeji tries to make room and loft this over the bowler's head. However, he misses and the ball sneaks through his body and bat. The keeper collects it and whips the bails off in a flash as Adedeji loses his balance and he steps out of his crease. The leg umpire raises his finger and another early blow for Nigeria in this alr |
| 5.3 : 5.3: D Blampied to V Adewoye, FOUR! Stand and deliver! Nigeria need a few more here. This is flatter and slightly shorter. Adewoye stands tall and hits it hard through covers for a boundary. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: B Ward to V Adewoye, OUT! CAUGHT! The budding stand has been broken! Ward floats this one outside off, Adewoye looks to loft this one over the cover fielder powerfully but does not get the elevation on it. The ball goes straight into the hands of the fielder at short cover, Ben Stevens who takes the catch. Nigeria lose their third wicket and slip further. |
| 11.5 : 11.5: B Ward to L Oyede, FOUR! Need a lot more of these! Shorter and quicker down the leg side, the batter looks to pull but gets a top edge over the short fine leg fielder for a boundary. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: Ben Stevens to I Okpe, OUT! CAUGHT! Stevens did not have a wicket to his name but now he has! Okpe pays the price of not capitalising on the bad delivery! This one is a touch closer than the previous delivery but Okpe still goes for the same shot, a slam over cover. He does not get the elevation and this time Ward at short cover takes the catch. Nigeria's hopes of chasing this target are dwindling away. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: E Miles to A Onikoyi, FOUR! A poor ball, a rare loose ball from Miles and it is put away. A full toss outside off, Onikoyi powers it over the bowler for a boundary. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: C Perchard to L Oyede, OUT! LBW! Both the batters have been dismissed but it is Oyede, the striker who has to walk back. Good length ball on off, it nips back in. Oyede misses his flick and the ball hits his pad as it rolls towards fine leg. The Jersey players appeal for an LBW and the umpire immediately raises his finger. The fielder at fine leg though does not want to take any chances and picks up the ball and has a shy at the non striker's end. He hits and the non-striker is well short |
| 17.1 : 17.1: D Blampied to C Onwuzulike, OUT! Another one bites the dust! This is slower through the air on middle, it straightens a touch. Onwuzulike looks to sweep but misses to get hit on the front pad. An appeal and up goes the finger. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: D Blampied to A Onikoyi, OUT! Onikoyi holes out! A wicket to end the game! This is tossed up on middle, AO looks to clear long on but only gets height on it. Jenner takes it nicely in the deep. JERSEY WIN BY 69 RUNS! |
