Blake Cullen to Tom Banton, OUT! Banton is trapped in front! Lovely delivery. Cullen strikes the right length and lands it outside off, it jags back in sharply, Tom is caught napping inside the crease, fails to defend and is pinged on the pads. The appeal is made and the finger is up. Two balls to find the right line and length and Blake has got the prized scalp of Banton.
