makes room to leg, slapped down the ground for glory! Helm wins it in style, takes a gamble off the final ball of the over, and Middlesex edge home in a thriller!
Glamorgan vs Middlesex, 22nd Match at Cardiff, County DIV2, May 17 2024 - Match Result
6.17pm So that is that. A gripping finale, Mason Crane gave it all, but in the end Tom Helm took the helm, and took his side home! Thanks for joining ESPNcricinfo's pop-up comms... see you next time we strike...
quicker, flatter, defended off the back foot, to the on-side
worked off the stumps, to the man at square leg. Jitters abound with the line so close!
big stride to block. Back on survival mode for the moment
big slash outside off, grabbed at second slip! But it's off the keeper's gloves! Big turn either way
pushes forward to the leg-break, takes a thick edge past the two slips
big leave on a wide line. Davies survives
wide outside the off stump, Cooke has to pounce to cut off the run
squared up on the back foot, angled in and threatened the stumps! Yikes
beaten! Angled in from round the wicket, so close to the edge!
width outside off, Davies flings in desperation, but can't connect
right in behind the line to defend
patted back down the pitch. Will this be the final over coming up?
gets in a tangle, looked like he was lining up the sweep. Gets out of trouble
googly, flicked off the pads, it runs away for four more through fine leg! Crane grimaces... it's do or die now!
slog-sweep, reaching to the wide line, finds the single at deep midwicket
down the leg side, Cooke does the needful
Slip, leg slip, short leg
pressed out for the single, as another close catcher comes into the fray
down the leg-side and this time Cooke can't get in the way! Off the pad in fact, but so valuable!
dabbed into the off side on the front foot
