Welcome back for the run-chase!
Tom Banton: It’s a nice feeling, the run-out was not ideal but I’m happy, it came off today for me. Probably a bit under-par, they bowled well and took wickets. We were in a really nice position near the slog overs and we did well to score some runs in the end. (On Pollard) He is a fantastic player and it was good to watch him from the other end. (On executing the switch hits tonight) From a young age, I have played a lot of hockey, so I’m used to adjust my body positions and it worked for me tonight.

19.6
Erasmus to Akeal Hosein, SIX, Akeal Hosein finishes the innings in style! Floated well outside off, Akeal Hosein uses his reach and smashes it downtown and it looks like it may have hit the boundary cushion on the full. It's taken upstairs to check whether it's a boundary or a six. It's touch and go and the third umpire rules it a maximum.
Vince has a chat with Erasmus. A few changes in the field

Erasmus to Shepherd, 1 run, quick through the air and once again in the blockhole, Shepherd jams it out towards long-on

Erasmus to Shepherd, no run, better from Erasmus as he bowls it in the blockhole on off, Shepherd digs it out to the right of Erasmus

Tom Curran to Akeal Hosein, 2 runs, a well-directed bouncer aimed at the body, Akeal Hosein gets a top-edge towards long leg. The fielder dives in front but it lands in front of him and the ball hits him on the side of the face. Ouch, that will hurt! The physio has a look at Zadran near the fence. He is beyond the boundary line and looks a bit fazed. Hopefully, he will be alright
18.4
Tom Curran to Akeal Hosein, no run, Akeal Hosein makes a bit of room and Tom Curran smartly bowls it full and wide outside off. He can't reach it
