105.1 Pickup to Lewis: tossed up outside legstump; Lewis pads it away and Pickup goes up with a HUGE appeal. The umpire shakes it off laughingly.

105.2 Pickup to Lewis: floated up outside offstump; Lewis pushes forward and he's BEATEN! Got some good purchase with that one. Pickup poses with arms folded and right hand to chin.

105.3 Pickup to Lewis: pitches outside offstump, turns away; Lewis leaves along comfortably

Pickup going around the wicket now.

105.4 Pickup to Lewis: full toss; Lewis reached well forward and pads it away; Pickup up with a huge appeal, but that's hit him at least 5 inches outside the line of legstump.

105.5 Pickup to Lewis: pitched a foot and a half outside legstump and Lewis looks to sweep; it runs away past legslip and they'll take a single.

The umpire signals a legbye. Pickup goes back over the wicket.

105.6 Pickup to Bradshaw: bowls to the left-hander and it's a googly!... but it starts outside legstump and Bradshaw looks to flick, misses and is hit on the pad. Pickup appeals furiously but gets no support from the five close-in fielders nor the wicketkeeper.

End of a loud over, but not particularly threatening. Two overs left.

104.6 Hoy to Bradshaw: Wide of the offstump; he leaves alone comfortably.

104.7 Hoy to Bradshaw: BOUNCER! Bradshaw does well again as he gets under it.

Aggressive over comes to an end. Interesting to see Hoy reversing the ball after just 9 overs.

- Cricket Web XI take the new ball after 85 overs (Wright, Cunningham)
No wonder the overs ran out so quickly...

Four slips, a gully, silly midoff, short leg, a leg slip and a man at deep backward square leg.

106.1 Hoy to Lewis: full and nipping back in; Lewis defends on the onside of the pitch; the bowler fields.

106.2 Hoy to Lewis: YORKER! Dug out nicely, but that one certain jagged through the air. Just 10 balls to make this happen now. Hoy is working furiously on the ball...

106.3 Hoy to Lewis: outside the offstump and back of a length; he lets it pass with ease; Hoy kicks the ground; he's very frustrated with himself and he should be too - that was a terrible delivery by the debutant at a time like this.

106.4 Hoy to Lewis: looks for the yorker again but it's a full toss and Lewis guides it to the gully, one bounce. Cunningham holds the ball there.

106.5 Hoy to Lewis: SHORT BALL! He's gone for the hook and they're up with the appeal!!!! Moerk is confident behind the stumps and Hoy is level with the batsman screaming his question!!

.....Umpire Koertzen says "not out".

Hoy fired up now...
106.6 Hoy to Lewis: BOUNCER! SMACK! That's floored him. Lewis tumbles in a heap and he's lucky he didn't fall on his stumps. Even luckier if he's conscious!

Hoy grabs his cap from Koertzen with a distinctly vexed glare. This rookie certainly can't be faulted for lack of aggression. I don't know much about these Cricket Web youngsters, but was Hoy always this much a firebrand?

Pickup starts over the wicket...
107.1 Pickup to Bradshaw: struck on the pad!!! LOUD SHOUT!!! GIVEN!!! Neil Pickup may have pulled a rabbit out of the hat for the Cricket Web XI! That one was a lovely topspinner and Bradshaw has to go!

IDR Bradshaw lbw b Pickup 28 (85)
2 fours, 0 sixes
285/8 (107.1 overs)

Daren Powell is the new man. He can handle a bat, but he just hasn't done it much in international cricket. Pickup in...
107.2 Pickup to Powell: tossed up outside legstump; Powell plays back and the ball turns sharply... it's popped up! Pickup dives full stretch and he's taken it!!!!!!! Neil "Sadsack" Pickup has pulled off a blinder and for the second time in this innings, he has spun the game the way of the Webheads! What a match!!!

Fidel Edwards comes to the crease with 4 balls to survive and Neil Pickup could end this game with a hat-trick...
