length ball into the body, goes to pull and misses off the thigh.

catch or six? Bouncer on fifth stump, heaved to wide long-on. Sams leaps up to latch on to this but looks like he's stepped on the foam triangle upon landing before he can flick the ball out of his hand to the teammate Chris Green coming over for the backup relay catch. Sams doesn't bother celebrating. He's pretty sure he's stepped on the rope. and the foam triangle looks like it has moved. The foam rope is also pushed out a good yard or two from a sliding effort on the rope earlier. Third umpire takes his time looking at the Zapruder film footage and confirms what most people already knew, not out and six.

slower ball full and very wide outside off beats Russell's heave, but the umpire says he'll have to rebowl it. Clearly outside the guidelines.

wide yorker jammed out to the cover sweeper for one.

full and wide, driven hard but straight to extra cover.

full on the legs, flicked to deep fine leg for one.

how did the bails not come off?! Flighted full on middle, Russell slogs this off an inside edge that caroms off his inside foot and then back onto the stumps. Not just a small trickle either. A full on genuine thud into middle and off stump. The heavy zing bails don't want to move. Traditional wooden ones would have definitely been dislodged.

too short on off stump, Russell rocks back and annihilates this into the second deck over wide long-on.

flighted full outside leg again, clears the front leg for another slog and mistimes this off an edge into the thigh.

flighted full outside leg, Russell clears the front leg to swing for six and instead misses with the ball hitting him on the third leg. Russell is down on the ground in agony. BBL's TV broadcast automotive sponsor flashes their tag line on screen, "Oh what a feeling!" Indeed....

good length ball on the legs, goes back to flick through midwicket.
