WICKET
T Odoyo c Oram b Bond 42 (67)
Odoyo fails to make it to 50 as he rockets one through the off-side for four but then tries again only to sky it to Oram waiting with those big hands of his. The end of a good knock and the near-end for Kenya.

The ball's lost a bit of colour so the umpires will change it for something a bit brighter.

WICKET
L Onyango run out Vincent 6 (17)
More silly running with Onyango not making his ground and Vincent once again swooping in, this time from cover, and getting the direct hit. And so ends a stubborn little stand between Onyango and Odoyo. The first five balls produced just a single each for the batters.

WICKET
J Kamande b Vettori 12 (15)

WICKET
R Shah c and b Vettori 71 (89)
Shah survives two loud lbw appeals, plays out a couple of defensive strokes and then hits a dolly full-toss from Vettori over cow-corner for a six. But then...Vettori strikes back taking a return catch as Shah drives too much on the up. Nice revenge there for Dan who is never happy with being struck for six.

Vettori is back into the attack.

Over 29: Shah faces four dot balls and then picks up a single. Odoyo gets in on the boundary act and lambasted Oram to the long-off ropes for four. Oram getting some of his own big-hitting medicine.

WICKET
C Obuya run out Franklin 21 (31)
The running between the wickets by the Kenyans has been close to useless the whole day and this time around a mix-up between Obuya and Shah sees both batters end up on the sam end. The throw comes in from the deep and Oram whips off the bails and Obuya is on his way.

Jacob Oram is into the attack.

Over 20: Vettori bowls a very indifferent over dotted with no-balls and easy singles around the park. Perhaps the wet ball is a bit difficult grip for the veteran spinner at the moment.
