Ball-by-ball updates
Dublin Guardians vs Edinburgh Castle Rockers commentary
- 19.6Curran to Little, 2 runs — That's it for Guardians; they cannot progress to the next stage any longer as Curran follows his shimmy into the leg-side and bowls a dipping low full-toss which has been flicked to deep midwicket. Edinburgh remain unbeaten and continue their extraordinary form
- 19.5Curran to Hollard, 1 run — Pitched slightly short and outside off, slapped to long-off for a run
- 19.4Curran to Hollard, no run — Shows all his. buffet of variations, master of his craft, yorker just outside off, unable to lay bat on it
- 19.3Curran to Hollard, no run — Another cunning change-up, back of the hand seam up delivery, early through the cut, doesn't connect
- 19.2Curran to Little, 1 run — Hurls a shorter delivery and keeps it wide of off from back of the hand, pummels it to cover
- 19.1Curran to Dockrell, OUT — Over the wicket, length-ish and wide of off, kneels and fetches it, slices the ball in the air and has been pouched at deep point; Jarvis takes a cool catch with the shades on. There goes the last ray of hope for Guardians
- 18.6Jarvis to Dockrell, 1 run — Does well; punctuates the over quietly. Dug in short and outside off, rolls his wrists and forces it to deep square, 17 will be needed of the final over and importantly, Dockrell will have the strike and he will be swinging for the hills
- 18.6Jarvis to Dockrell, 1 wide — Shorter and outside leg-stump, wide signalled; he is under the pump
- 18.5Jarvis to Dockrell, FOUR — Oh, follows it up with a four! That's more like it. Pace-off shorter ball coming at him, he waits a touch and then paint the boundary rope again at deep square, Curran wasn't deep in the crease and was running across deep square, not the bes of the efforts
- 18.4Jarvis to Dockrell, SIX — There is still some life in this contest as this delivery has been pumped over deep midwicket for a six! Hits this shortish ball at off leisurely and clears the fence! Just lands over the rope. Still a glimmer of hope for Guardians
- 18.3Jarvis to Hollard, 1 run — Hits a shortish length and keeps it tight at off, opens the face and nurdles it down to third man
- 18.2Jarvis to Ashwin, OUT — He has a Test century to his name, bats well under pressure, heaps of experience of course. He doesn't want to die wondering, a shorter cross-seam delivery just outside off, he tries to tonk it downtown and finds Santner at long-off. Jarvis is on hattrick as the wheels continue to come off
- 18.1Jarvis to Krishnamurthi, OUT — Over the wicket, fraction short and hovering in the channel, pounds it across the line but finds McMullen who was racing across midwicket takes a beautiful running catch; fine shot but just not able to hit it in the gap
- 17.6Boult to Dockrell, no run — That looked wide too but the batter walked across his stumps in a bid to thwack it away and is beaten on the flashy drive
- 17.6Boult to Dockrell, 1 wide — second wide of the over, shortish and well outside the blue line on off, still a decent enough over, Guardians need a boundary on the last delivery
- 17.5Boult to Krishnamurthi, 1 run — Pushed along the floor to long-on for a run
- 17.4Boult to Dockrell, 1 run — Slower on a full-length and dancing across off, tries to heave it jauntily over long-on but it has been launched high into the sky and just lands in front of Gous who came a long way but it should have been Boult's catch however he remains stationary after his follow through, he thought Gous will make it
- 17.3Boult to Krishnamurthi, 1 run — Low full-toss outside off, dipping outside off, squeezes it out to extra cover
- 17.3Boult to Krishnamurthi, 1 wide — Tries a wide yorker and is unable to keep it inside the blue tramline on off
- 17.2Boult to Dockrell, 1 run — Wide yorker length and he shovels it down to long-off
- 17.1Boult to Dockrell, FOUR — lots of starts but nobody going berserk and capitalizing. This has to be a big over. Over the wicket, on a full-length and outside off, he goes across and bets behind the line to smoke it downtown, just one bounce over the rope and bisects long-on and long-off to perfection
- 16.6McMullen to Krishnamurthi, 2 runs — Terrific over, he is belting it but not timing it off the sweet spot, touch fuller and into the wickets, uppish shot towards long-on
- 16.5McMullen to Krishnamurthi, 2 runs — Back of a length at middle, clears front leg and pummels it to deep midwicket, splendid diving save from Santner who swooped across long-on
- 16.4McMullen to Dockrell, 1 run — Once again can only whack it away to Santner at long-on; it was a shorter ball at off-stump, not working
