19.2

A subtle appeal from Williams and the keeper! Floats into the batter, on the middle, as Will Young looks to sweep that across the leg side, and the ball misses the bat completely, and wears on the pads.

Tanaka Chivanga 42/0(7)

18.6

.

On a length, outside off, Will Young sees off and lets it go past alone. An expensive over from Tanaka Chivanga comes to an end as 14 runs come off the over.

FOUR! In complete control this time! On the shorter side, on off, Will gets on top of the bounce and pulls it all along the ground to the right of Raza at mid-wicket for four more.

18.4

2

DROPPED! Sikandar Raza puts down a tough chance! The length is pulled back by Tanaka, on off and middle, Will presses back and pulls. Hits it uppishly towards mid-wicket where Raza leaps and tries to take the catch over his head. Ends up palming it over his head and the ball goes behind for a couple of runs.

18.3

FOUR! Two in two and that will be FIFTY for Will Young! Another half-volley from Tanaka, on middle, Young brings his wrists into play and flicks it wide of mid-wicket for another boundary. Young missed out in the first innings of the first Test and he will want to make the start count this time around.

FOUR! Fine shot! Too full from Tankaka, on off, Young gets on the front foot and whips it. Angles the bat face to get it to the left of mid on for a boundary.

Very full, on middle, Young drives it to mid on.

Drops it on a good length, outside off, Will Young crouches back a bit and cuts that to the wide of deep point for a single.
