"The seventh over is Santner time. He starts pretty economically, conceding seven runs, with one boundary through backward point for Salt. He's off on one again: 46 not out from 27 balls. I'm not sure us England fans really how lucky we are to have Phil Salt. His T20I record is outrageous: average 39, strike rate 169. And in the last two years those figures are 48 and 175."
"Mitch Santner gambles by introducing the spin of Michael Bracewell for the last over of the Powerplay. It works, sort of: Bracewell concedes 21 from the over but picks up the dangerous Jacob Bethell with his last ball. Bethell hit consecutive sixes down the ground and was looking for a third when he dragged to mid-on. It was nicely bowled by Bracewell, wider and slower, and Bethell shouted oh no! the moment he made contact. Michael Bracewell celebrates the wicket of Jacob Bethell."
England reached 80-2 after eight overs with Phil Salt on 48 and Brook on 3. Santner bowled an economical seventh over, conceding seven runs and allowing one boundary through backward point. Phil Salt was 46 from 27 balls at one stage and holds a strong T20I record, averaging 39 with a strike rate of 169 (48 and 175 in the last two years). Mitch Santner introduced Michael Bracewell for the final over of the Powerplay; Bracewell conceded 21 but removed Jacob Bethell with the last ball. Jacob Bethell scored 24 from 12, struck consecutive sixes, was earlier dropped by Tim Seifert, and was then caught dragging to mid-on.
