  Nathan Smith to Jamie Smith

  10:19 AM

  Wicket! Run Out By Henry Nicholls! Joe Root Out! No Run. GONEE!!! A direct hit and root depart; this might be the match for Kiwi's. Nicholis, you have done extremely brilliant work here! Length ball on the off side, Jamie gets behind the line for a cut shot and pushes it to the point. Where Nicholis follows it and collects the ball on time, Root runs, but a direct hit was needed, and yes, Nicholis gets up and shoots a direct hit to the keeping end to end the innings for the man of hope, Root.
