WICKET
J Smits lbw Hogg 3 (12)

WICKET
T de Leede c Hayden b Hogg 14 (22)
Matty Hayden picks up a low catch at slip as Hogg bags a wicket in his opening over. de Leede perishes playing forward to the wrong-one, edges, and has to go after looking flummoxed for the majority of the over.

WICKET
B Zuiderent run out Clarke 9 (29)
Oh dear! Really silly run out. Mike Clarke is a great fielder and they really should have thought twice before taking a quick run to him.
