Xavier Bartlett to Jordan Cox, OUT! WHAT A GRAB! Excellently held by Tim David! He may have gone for a duck but has certainly made up for it with his catch. Another off-pace delivery from Bartlett, on a back of a length, on middle and leg. Jordan Cox stays put as he looks to go big on the leg side. Airs it off the bottom part of the bat and it goes very high in the air to the right of mid on. Tim David stationed at mid on turns around and goes after it. Keeps his eyes on the ball all the way through as he runs to his right. Stretches his hands in front to grab hold of the ball. The ball just about stays in his grasp and David does well as he turns his right shoulder to avoid grassing the ball. The debutant, Cox goes for 17 (12). England are now 40/2 after 4.3 overs, requiring 140 runs from 93 balls.
