Rinku Singh comes to the crease. 

Matt Henry with his second over and Sanju Samson drives the length ball uppishly to the right of mid-off for a boundary. Excellent timing.

A dot later, Samson flicks the length ball to the short fine leg for another boundary. 

Follows it up with a single to leg-side. 

Rinku then glides the length delivery to short third man. No run on offer. 

Nine runs came off the over. 


Zakary Foulkes comes into the attack and Samson goes deep and slams the length ball over square leg but gets only a single. 

Rinku Singh is on strike and Foulkes goes round the wicket. No runs off the first two deliveries. 

Six! Rinku walks down the track and slaps one straight down the ground to get off the mark in style. 

Six more! Short and wide and Rinku cuts fiercely past deep third for another six. 

A single through mid-on to end the over. 14 runs came off it.
