18.1 Sheldon Cottrell to Sam Billings

OUT! Bowled. Sheldon Cottrell to Sam Billings. Off cutter length ball, to leg on the front foot slog sweeping, missed to. Now then, is there going to be a twist in this match? England have been coasting along but all of a sudden they are looking nervous with just seven runs required. Billings was completely deceived by the slower ball and Cottrell made a mess of the stumps. Attention.
