10.1 Saqlain to Gonzalez, FOUR!, Wonderful shot by the young man! He went aerial over midwicket and split the gap between the fielders on the boundary!
10.2 Saqlain to Gonzalez, 2 runs, Swept fine and they scramble two runs. Well done.
10.3 Saqlain to Gonzalez, 1 run, A paddle sweep and short fine leg sprinted around to field and keep it to 1 run.
10.4 Saqlain to Fitzsimmons, 1 run, A little short and Fitzsimmons looked to cut but couldn't beat Kemp at short fine leg. They run a single.
10.4 Saqlain to Gonzalez, 0 runs, A looping offbreak that Gonzalez patted back down the track.
10.6 Saqlain to Gonzalez, 1 run, Anotherpaddle sweep by Gonzalez and they take another single.
