26th over: England 72-2 (Burns 30, Denly 27) Huuuuge shout for lbw, Hazlewood again darting by the inside edge as he has so cannily from this end this morning. Denly is struck on the back leg, albeit just above the knee, which is why they elect not to refer it. The technology on TV shows that to be a good call from Paine, the ball going just above the bails – it would have been a second review blown. Hazlewood then goes the other way, Denly electing to throw his hands at a ball that seams away, beating his bat. “Sometimes your strength can be your weakness,” observes Mikey Holding. Another top over from Hazlewood, who has been the pick of the bowlers.
25th over: England 72-2 (Burns 30, Denly 27) Cummins is rushing in and giving it his all at Burns. Twice he beats the outside edge along the way with deliveries that seam down the slope. But the opener keeps his cool, getting his bat out of the way of the tempter to finish.
Here are the details for Ruth Strauss Day. They’ve done a great job.
