Mayers to Roy, no run
Big shout for lbw as Mayers gets one coming in to beat Roy's bat. Not given but Patriots review. Was that going down leg? Looked like upon first viewing. Hits him on the knee roll on the back pad in front of middle and leg. And how unfortunate for Mayers and Patriots that it's umpire's call on wickets. They retain the review, but they would have wanted the wicket

3.2

Mayers to Roy, FOUR runs
As if to add insult to injury, Roy skips out to a back of length delivery and pulls it square for four

Da Silva on the stump mic says hitting the good lengths and bowling slower balls may be the key on this wicket

Just slightly back of length and Roy stands tall and whips it behind square leg for four. That one flew off the bat

Nortje to Roy, FOUR runs

Lofted down the ground and he clears mid-on running back! This is full and Roy meets it with the full face of the bat. But it comes off around the toe end but still had enough to clear the fielder. The fielder gave chase and put in a dive to try and drag the ball back but goes over the ropes along with the ball

Pooran on the attack immediately! Waits on a length ball that sits up nicely. It's seaming away across Pooran, so it gives him room to free his arms and flat-bat it past mid-on

Louis to Pooran, 2 runs
Confusion all abound as Pooran gets another reprieve! Cutter going across Pooran who looked to go inside out. Comes off the top edge and goes high in the air. Mikyle Louis tracked it from cover but pulls out just at the last second thinking another fielder was going to get there
