try and play that bumper says Matt Henry, Salt bails out of the pull as he had to fetch it from outside off. Chance of a top edge was so high so he let it go

Jacob Duffy to Buttler, out Caught by Santner!! This is high

this is the bowler outsmarting the batter and it's taken at mid-off. Buttler ran down the pitch, ah I can dig this short and cramp him for room says Jacob Duffy. Buttler didn't stop himself from trying the pull, the bounce meant he got it high on the bat and it turned in his hands to go straight up. Simple catch for the New Zealand skipper. Oh they are checking the front foot. The third ump asks for the stump cam angle as he couldn't get clear evidence with the side angle. And he reckons Jacob Duffy just had a millimeter in. Buttler continues the march.

Jacob Duffy to Buttler, FOUR

it's full, it's an outie but Buttler left nothing in the tank as the pitch is so true at the moment. Plays a lofted drive with the only intention of clearing the infield over cover. Lovely shot!

Jacob Duffy to Phil Salt, FOUR

! Salt was completely rushed, he's lucky that this cleared the keeper. 141kph bumper that Salt wasn't expecting. He tried to pull but was late on the shot and the ball jumped extra to catch the glove, escaped to the fine leg fence though

Jacob Duffy to Phil Salt, FOUR

cut away hard into the ground. They had a man at cover-point but it bounced right over him. That's generally an indication of a hard surface

and again, this time along the ground. Anything close to off stump or at the body, Salt is using his wrists to access the leg-side. He whips this behind square leg and they had fine leg up
