An early wicket here at OT, though we were too distracted in the press box by a frozen telly to notice. Luke Wells well caught, diving to his left at third slip off Ben Aitchison, for four. It brings in Josh Bohannon’s for his 100th first-class match.

Haseeb Hameed will have the rest of the day to admire the ball by Timm van der Gugten that, in bright sunshine, sent him on his way first ball. HH cocked his leg to dink the ball into the leg side but instead lost his leg stump.
