Potts to Tim David, SIX, hit with authority! A short delivery angling in on middle and leg, the slower one. It sits up nicely for David. He nails the pull over deep mid-wicket for a flat maximum. First six this season in the Hundred for David

Nathan Ellis to Ben Duckett, out Bowled!! You miss I hit stuff! Duckett switches his stance initially as he shapes to play the reverse hit. Ellis spots that and keeps it full and quick on middle and leg. He then tries to adjust and place it behind square on the leg-side but misses and the woodwork behind is disturbed. A very good knock from Duckett nonetheless. Ben Duckett b Nathan Ellis 64(47) [4s-9]

Patterson-White to Ben Duckett, FOUR, fifty for Duckett, his third one of the season! He has hit a purple patch with the bat! He raises his bat, has a beaming smile on his face and soaks in all the applause. Was a full delivery on off, Duckett shuffled across and slog-swept it perfectly through mid-wicket to reach the milestone. Five fours off this set

Abrar Ahmed to Sam Billings, out Lbw!! Abrar Ahmed has his revenge with a smart piece of bowling! Billings premeditates as he shapes to play another reverse hit. Abrar perhaps spots that and bowls it full and quicker through the air on middle and off. Billings is late on it and gets beaten on the under-edge to get rapped in front. The umpire has no hesitation to raise his finger. Billings thinks about the review but rightly doesn't go for it. Sam Billings lbw b Abrar Ahmed 9(8) [4s-1]

Brydon Carse to Aneurin Donald, out Caught by Nathan Ellis!! Carse strikes again! A blazing cameo from Donald nonetheless. 87mph short of length delivery angling in on off. Donald swipes it over backward square leg but he struck it off the higher part of the bat, hence the timing is not quite there. Ellis in the deep moves across to his right and takes a well-judged catch. Aneurin Donald c Nathan Ellis b Brydon Carse 40(19) [4s-3 6s-3]

Brydon Carse to Ben Duckett, FOUR, lovely stroke! A shortish delivery angling in on off from round the wicket. Duckett opens his bat-face and delays the cut shot nicely. Gets it in the gap in between short third and backward point to a nicety

Brydon Carse to Finn Allen, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! Carse produces a peach to get rid of the dangerous Allen. In the corridor of uncertainty, straightens just enough after pitching. Allen tries to play a booming straight drive but gets beaten on the outside edge and the ball clatters into the off-stump. Ideal start for Sunrisers. Finn Allen b Brydon Carse 2(3)
