driven up towards long-off and Dockrell hares down the other end to beat the throw in

Mark Adair back on, 8 runs needed
onto the front foot and driven out towards deep cover
blocks the ball into the covers
its outside off-stump and Dockrell doesn't move his feet. Is beaten for pace again and can only lean on his bat as the ball goes through to the keeper
Captain Dockrell comes out to the middle with his team only needing 9 more for the win
Kane looks to pull the ball again, he is beaten for pace and the bails go flying. Might be a little too late as Delany doesn't celebrate the wicket
