- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 huge wicket this, just massive. Full on middle, tries to work through the leg side and gets a huge leading edge, Maddinson runs back at mid off to take a good catch running back with the flight 12/13.1 full on off, swinging back and catching him in front of middle, looked to be going over the top but you can't really blame the umpire for giving him 12/23.2 oh what a nut! Full on off and nipping away to take off stump, brilliant bowling! 12/35.3 and he's got his man this time, third time lucky! Good yorker goes straight through Floros' defenses 29/4Extras3 (lb 1, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL29/4 (5.3 Overs, RR: 5.27)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Chris Gayle, 2.4 ov), 2-12 (Daniel Smith, 3.1 ov), 3-12 (Ben Dunk, 3.2 ov), 4-29 (Jason Floros, 5.3 ov)
