00:00That one will do, don't worry about the review, just goes straight through with pace, 88 mile
00:09an hour, Ollie Stone with an early one.
00:15Good length and it's fast, it just nips back.
00:20Ambitious from Will Jacks, given the movement we've seen at Lords, both in previous games
00:26and so far today.
00:29He's back playing now, just his second game.
00:33Taped up, and I think that has come off the midsection of his body as well, gone away
00:40for four.
00:41When you get a half ollie, make sure you put it away, a la David Millan just there.
00:56Leg side this time, the right length he was looking for, up the hill for four more.
01:09Try something different and probably had to, Hetmeyer in the deep, can't get there, boundary,
01:13my goodness they needed that.
01:20Smoked down the ground, has he got enough of it?
01:23I think maybe, yes he has, enough by a distance.
01:2715 metres, what a strike.
01:30To go for six.
01:33Toe of the bat I think from Millan, he had to reach for it, and he's done it pretty well.
01:48Dawson to continue here, again it's a sweep slog, it's Hetmeyer, it's out.
01:55Well he judged that extremely well, had to settle himself, we were talking catching earlier,
02:01that was perfect.
02:02For Liam Dawson before, just gets it a little bit squarer, Hetmeyer's there, safe hands
02:11on the boundary, just having to dive forward slightly.
02:15Is that out first ball?
02:22On for a big drive, just roll that through, foot is down, foot down, bails it off, ready
02:32for my decision for the big screen.
02:46You give him width, generally he's going to take advantage.
02:52Yeah beautiful shot.
02:54He's been flirting with that wide line all the way through these deliveries to Millan,
03:02and he's got him away a couple of times now.
03:10Just a release of some pressure, that's good from a man who obviously is now used to the
03:16conditions.
03:20Bailings wants in on the act as well, and that will mean back-to-back sixes from separate
03:26ends.
03:32That has hit with some power, it wasn't the best of deliveries but that's hit with some
03:36power.
03:37Oh dear, just when you thought.
03:43Just picks out Oli Stone in the deep, looking to roll his wrists and keep the ball down,
03:50doesn't get over the top of it.
03:55Well now he chooses to go into the surface and that short boundary is a profitable one
04:00but even a bigger one that's probably gone anyway.
04:03Find a boundary, out there, out in that direction he can, yes, good from Curran.
04:12Got the timing and the placement right.
04:17That is all the way, someone in the crowd please, oh hasn't gone quite that far.
04:23Hasn't gone quite that far but big enough to clear the ropes.
04:27Oh high, hit hard, that is an unbelievable shot, you do not understand how difficult
04:37it is to hit that type of ball cleanly and out of the park.
04:40And the umpires will have a look as well.
04:42Out, over point, six more, brilliant.
04:4742, just 17 balls now, no fours but five sixes on a pitch that no other batter has found
04:57any sort of rhythm.
05:01That's the best of the lot, attempted wide Yorker.
05:07Damn Curran.
05:08High on the bat, out towards deep mid-wicket, cannot get there, another half a dozen for
05:15Curran.
05:16Mis-timed another one for Rarus, caught and bowled.
05:27Mis-timed another one for Rarus, caught and bowled, he will be up for two from three.
05:37Final ball, four for 150 perhaps, can't get it past, mid-off in the form of Dre Russ.
05:50Deciding to go into the surface is Spencer Johnson yet again and Pepper may be getting
05:56an idea of what the plan is, manages to clear the boundary.
06:02And why not, get your account open with that.
06:10Surprising maybe everybody, 12 on the board.
06:14And then he gets it all wrong, it's a leg side, shorter side, just a gift.
06:26With the field set he feels it is an option to score straight and this is exactly how
06:33he's going to continue to play, even if he hasn't quite got the rhythm he's wanted yet.
06:41Expecting the length possibly, picked it up nice and early to Jennings and that's just
06:46giving them a bit of breathing room to end the power play.
06:50Well he plays this exceptionally well, it's a feature of his innings when he played in
06:57Test match cricket in subcontinental conditions.
07:01Extra spin off the reverse sweep at that back foot point area.
07:07Yes has to be, that looked very adjacent but he's reviewed it straight away, does he think
07:12it's too high, he's a tall man as he hit it, third umpire in action.
07:19OK, it's umpire's call so Steve you'll be staying with the original decision, you're
07:30on screen, you're on screen now, signal out.
07:35Well the crucial thing there for Oval Invincibles was that the on field decision was out.
07:41From the nursery end, swept first ball into the hands of Deep Square Legs, strikes straight
07:47away, Sauter takes a comfortable catch, Pepper goes.
07:54Go aerial, go for six to put pressure on Zampa straight away but just doesn't get it.
08:00Nathan Sauter out there.
08:05That sounded alright.
08:07It is alright, just thought maybe he got a bit more of that and it might be going deeper
08:12into the crowd but he's just managed to get it over Deep Midwickett's head for six.
08:20All gone, beautifully bowled.
08:23Oli Pope rather telegraphed that, he seemed to be very keen to get out of the blocks and
08:29it just gave Sauter a sight a bit flatter, full out.
08:33His feet hit the ball down the ground, it's not an easy pitch to do that, just skids on
08:39and hits the middle of Middle Stump.
08:43To the delight of Nathan Sauter, it's a big wicket.
08:49Down the wicket, powered for four.
08:58Down the wicket and well struck.
09:02Straight into the pavilion from Dan Lawrence.
09:06Spencer Johnson.
09:09This has gone high.
09:11There's nobody out there.
09:14It just plugs and rolls into the boundary rope.
09:18Tom Lammerby it is.
09:21Final ball is Spencer Johnson's work.
09:26Pace on and bounce.
09:28We've got a player review for caught behind, given out on field.
09:34Just run that through.
09:37Okay, he's clearly missed that, I'm going back on field to Mike.
09:45Well, Mike Burns will have a little chuckle about that.
09:50Top ball to finish Spencer Johnson's work, none for 27 in his 20 balls.
09:55Quite regularly.
09:59High, high.
10:01Deep backwards square, comfortable, very comfortable indeed.
10:07Jordan Cox.
10:10Takes the catch and Zampa back into the attack.
10:13Stewart Broad and straight away.
10:19That'll do.
10:20That'll do from Dre Russ.
10:23He's only got a half connect.
10:26Picks up a maximum.
10:31Cut hard, up the hill for four.
10:34Good batting from Andre Russell.
10:38For if you need it later.
10:42Gone.
10:43Swing and a miss from Lawrence.
10:45Zampa gets another.
10:47Finishes off a fantastic 20 deliveries.
10:52Sam Curran.
10:55Whip straight out to the man at deep mid-wicket.
10:57Hardly had to move.
10:59Two steps backwards.
11:02And straight into the mitts.
11:09Might have another one.
11:10Jordan Cox again.
11:12Comfortably underneath it.
11:14Holds on to it.
11:16Just got to keep going with Sam Curran.
11:20And Liam Dawson tries to go dead straight.
11:23Tries to pick the gap between Long on and Long off.
11:26But all he can do is toe end it.
11:28To Jordan Cox at Long on.
11:32Another one for Curran.
11:34Pace off into the surface.
11:36He's cleaning it up here.
11:38Having a day out at Lord's as Sam Curran with the bat.
11:42Now with the ball at the back end.
11:44He played a gem of a knot with the bat, Sam Curran.
11:48And he's just bowled.
11:51Five balls.
11:53And a deep extra cover.
11:54Patrick Ball.
11:57Got it.
11:59Got it in the red.
12:01Dre Russ gets the edge.
12:03Sam Curran gets the hat-trick.
12:05The third in the men's hundred.
12:08Taken by Billings behind the stumps.
12:10He's cleaning things up here for the Oval Invincibles.
12:14What a day out for Sammy Curran.
12:18No better place to do it.
12:20He's gone for the wide Yorker.
12:22Potentially even a slower ball.
12:24And Andre Russell just gets a fine edge.
12:27Through to Sam Billings.
12:29They knew straight away.
12:30Sam Curran delighted.
12:33Last ball.
12:34Oh, I think that's close.
12:36I think it's pitched on and it's hitting.
12:38It cleans things up to Sam Curran.
12:42He'll end with a five-wicket haul.
12:48And it'll be the Oval Invincibles who have dominated
12:52this men's encounter here at Lord's this afternoon
12:55in front of a fantastic crowd.
