130-2
Moeen houks a short ball to midwicket after Cummings dropped 1 same place and didnt see one earlier.
Bazball pedal pressed since lunch
Moeen gone, hits one out of the middle but Khwaja takes a good catch at mid-wicket.
Starc to Moeen Ali, OUT
Short and nailed… but Khawaja snags it at midwicket! Far harder chance but he holds on to bring a much-needed breakthrough! Firmly pulled in front of square but it was in the air for a long time and Khawaja pulled off the nifty diving take with two hands. There was silence for a moment, before everyone realised what had happened
Cummins had dropped Ali in the previous over
Hazlewood to Moeen Ali, 1 run
Short ball from round the wicket, Moeen cloths his pull… did it carry to Cummins at midwicket? Yes, he got there on the dive but was nowhere near clinging on! Tough take but it hit him on the forearm as he dived across the practice pitches
130-2
Root in, pulls the first ball for 4 runs

In decent shape but the rain is going to fuck us
Current Met Office forecast for Sat & Sun are pretty much solid rain
No further rain = 14.45 kick off.
It has resumed
Yes indeed.
One watched the bully off.
