W
Head to Maharaj, out Caught by Green at long-off!! Holes out on this occasion. Similar delivery, more power from Maharaj on this occasion as he looks to loft. The timing isn't right though. A straightforward catch for Green who is a few yards in front of the boundary rope. Wicket number for four for Head. Can he get a fifer? Maharaj c Green b Head 13(12) [4s-2]

Nathan Ellis to Maharaj, no run, pace off, Maharaj shimmies down to drive and gets a toe-edge that rolls to the keeper

Zampa to Maharaj, 1 run, stays back to a fairly full ball and blocks it into off. The bowler doesn't move to his left and Maharaj spots that to take a single.
