23.6Hardie to S Baker0
Dot ball. Aaron Hardie to Sonny Baker. Length ball, shoulders arms, for no runs, fielded by Philippe. Today was a day of two halves for the England Lions. They made light work of Australia A's tail in the morning, but a few big hits from Josh Philippe (who finished 120 off 121) got the hosts to 9/373 before they declared to have a crack at their opposition before lunch. That proved a good decision as they took 2/10 in the 5 overs before the break. Only three batters passed 15 and their lower order completely fell away, losing 6/10 to be bowled out for 116. Something clicked between innings, because after they were forced to follow-on, England Lions looked a completely different side. They raced to 0/106 at more than 5 runs per over, but Jordan Buckingham took 2 wickets in the final few overs to halt some of that momentum at the end of the day. Australia A still lead by 141 but it looks more likely they'll have to bat again after seeing the way England Lions started their second innings. Join us tomorrow to see what answers they'll come up with to convert the strong position they hold in the match.
