00:00their initial aim, which is not to lose wickets in this opening passage. That's
00:04firmly struck. Something of a ricochet off the ankle, it seemed, of Alamal Ali.
00:16You've got to say, that's four. Phil Tufnel just about got there and then
00:23decided, well, he's going to run up the steps. That's four runs. Let's have another look.
00:28Like a refusal at the first. Straight back shot. Cracks Malali on the shin.
00:38Oh, oh, Philip. Oh.
00:46That's away for four. Just a backward of point.
00:59Bell's second boundary. He moves on to 13. Matt Horne has 17.
01:06Not getting it in the right spot. Definitely not getting it in the right spot, these England
01:11bowlers. A bit too much room outside the off-stump for Matthew Bell.
01:19Terrific delivery. Big shout from behind the wicket. And eventually up goes Kitchin's finger.
01:26Matthew Bell goes for 15. And at last, England have their first wicket.
01:32Well, it took a few seconds from umpire Murph Kitchin. We're accustomed to seeing that from

01:45Much better delivery from Dean Headley. Well pitched up. Not too sure exactly what it touched,
01:50though. It's a bit unconclusive, that ball going between bat and pad.
01:53The appeal was very strong, especially from Dean Headley. And up goes the finger from umpire Murph
02:00Kitchin. England get their first wicket. It's 43 for one.
