The ball lobs up to the off side and Tom Banton moves across swiftly to his right to complete an easy catch. |
5.4 : 5.4: Liam Livingstone to Rovman Powell, SIX! Tonk! One forward defense and that's enough sighter to go boom next ball. Full and flighted on middle, Powell kneels and powers his sweep shot all the way over square leg. 50 up! |
