Tredwell to Shafiqullah, out Caught by Bopara!! Excellent catch from Bopara. Flighted delivery on the stumps, Shafiqullah goes for the slog-sweep, gets a top edge, Jordan was running to his right from deep mid-wicket as Bopara runs to his left from deep backward square leg. There was a slight misunderstanding between the two as to who was going for the catch. Bopara called for it just in time, ran and dived forward to take a good low catch. Shafiqullah c Bopara b Tredwell 30(64) [4s-1]

End of a struggling knock from Nasir Jamal. Nasir Jamal c Buttler b Bopara 17(52) [4s-2]
