21.5 Law to Barnett, Law takes over from Killeen who's done very little, fast ball, lots of bounce, did it catch the glove as it flew past Barnett? Pratt takes it and appeals...not out.

89.4 Harmison to Smith, bowled 'im! great ball on the stumps, fourth wicket for Harmison, good to see him back on song after poor play in one-day matches - A Smith b Harmison 0 (1b, 0min).
