Still, the runs they made would be ample. Especially after the first ball of Canada’s reply – a perfect outswinger from Ngidi that laid a grandmother’s kiss on the edge of Bajwa’s bat on its way into De Kock’s gloves. Yuvraj Samra and Nicholas Kirton stood tall to bash four fours between them, but by the end of his second over the wily, guily, slippery Ngidi had removed them, too, for figures of 3/13. Unusually, although understandably, Ngidi was granted a third consecutive over – and might have claimed another had he not slipped and crashed to earth as he attempted to catch, in the throes of his followthrough, Shreyas Movva’s uppish defensive bunt.
