"It's very ordinary captaincy from Jason having two international spinners in team and not getting them to bowl is very poor and when you are not using Walsh he shouldn't be in the team as there is a scope for batsmen may be Brooks Grimacing face," says Roop on social media.
Colin Munro is gone for 50 (30). A wicket to end a good little spell from Nurse. Munro came down the track and the lofted drive gets the toe end of the bat and its a huge hit. A smart catch by Rashid Khan! TKR - 87/3 after 13 ovs
Ashley Nurse is being taken apart here by Colin Munro - first, the reverse sweep and then the cut short split the inner circle. A single to follow it up and that's the half-century! 29-ball half-century for Munro
