68.4
CR Brathwaite to Burns, no run, another length ball wide of off stump, and Burns slashes and misses
68.5 CR Brathwaite to Burns, 1 wide, and another length ball wide of off stump.
Left alone, and Marais Erasmus exercises his arms again
68.5 CR Brathwaite to Burns, no run, full, fourth-stump line, blocked to short extra cover
68.6 CR Brathwaite to Burns, no run, length ball, fifth-stump line, and Burns plays and misses again,
this time having a wild heave across the line
