  Brydon Carse to Travis Head

  9:34 AM

  Wicket! Caught by Ollie Pope. No Run. OUTTT....!!!! Carse gets a big wicket, but it's almost over for England... Short of length on the middle, Travis shuffles to the leg side, looks to slog it over but doesn't get onto the bat enough, and heaves straight into the air. Pope runs to his right and grabs a good catch. Crowd applause for Travis, and there's a hug by Marnus as well. Ben Stokes runs to Travis and shakes his hand. What an inning.
