Bethell and Burgess brilliant in rearguard action | HIGHLIGHTS | County Championship

and W she'll be very keen to make a solid start here they have struggled in the championship this season um still to win a game the strong wind billowing the sight screen at the far end from which Overton balls and this is over pitched and driven for four by Robie Yates beautifully played half FY and the left-hander took full advantage he moves to five Dave's in a bows and this is smashed away through the offside quite time it as well as the previous offside shot but it the result is the same it's four runs the slips Crouch again and this is wide and chopped away for four by Rob Yates a little bit of whith there and short from Craig Overton and Yates on the back foot slaps it away grass will still be a little bit moist as Davis flicks this one down to Third Man for four it was under control it was through the Cordon but all along the ground and and the technique he waits again this is short and slapped away for four runs that was the PO delivery at the end of what had been a very good over from Craig Overton Tom CA cadmore daav in BS this is cut down towards the third man boundary Tom AEL is well he's going after it but with no realistic hope of pulling it back as Paul is in and this is punched away through the offside very pleasantly for me that's the shot of the morning Aldridge to Davis again goes for the pull shot here forward a square four runs and that is the longest boundary all the way through midwicket that's sat up and asked to be hit exactly here's ball in and balls and this is driven a way through the offside the moment he's holding to Davies who goes for a big cut outside off stump and he's snicked it oh he's absolutely desolate are soft backs because they were cheaper this is pulled away for four runs it was a poor delivery from Jake ball another drag down and uh Robbie h swiveled on it so Overton is going to bowl around the Wicket and immediately uh there are runs and four of them it's a leg side ball and uh left-handed rhs is Off the Mark with a neat flick off his hip those who get left behind improve very quickly Dave in and Bs and this is driven away through the offside for four runs wasn't such a bad ball that from Josh Davey it was wide and it was pitched up to Aldridge this time well there's not too much potential in that other than a a boundary it was short it sat up it wasn't very quick it asked to be hit and RADS into that swivel pull again still the three slips though Aldridge bows to rhs who carves it away through the covers and this may well go for four as well it was a bit short and wide it was timed rather than thrashed and that's the third four of the over roads to 17 massively talented young player Dan Mosley as this is driven handsomely for four by Robbie H that wasn't that over pitched but uh enough Overton to continue to roads goes for that check drive as well and has beaten Davey ID off and this should go all the way for four he just placed it Overton bows and he's B him gone right through him well I don't know what was in that ball but it had some pep to it it may have come in a touch off the scene we're not in the best angle to be able to tell but it beat Road's all ends up this next one is cracked away through the covers through back with Point by Yates it was short outside the off stump and Yates was onto it in a Flash as OD starts a new over this is picked up beautifully by Yates spits it away through midwicket down to the boundary the just a signal for four cuz it was in the air for quite a long time but that's Rob yates's half century of 92 balls not much was coming through that after that uh generation this is a beautiful on drive from Ham of shake which will bring him four runs gloriously latched on to a slightly over pitched ball from Jake ball this is Overton in play way and this one's clipped Away by Yates away down towards the midwicket boundary and it runs down the slope chased down to the boundary but talking from two on the south side of the county nicely driven no it's not like it's in the air and he's caught that is really careless by shaky just lifted a drive it was a half Folly the golfers dav's in and Bs this is swung away down to deep backward Square leg and Tom Cola cadmore can't intercept it before it crosses the boundary rope to robier who lays back and plays this away through the offside very pleasantly it was poor delivery from from Davy hands on his knees as he bow played on that's the end of Rob Yates he went for a cut shot to a ball that was probably too close to him got a bottom Edge itching to get one away outside off and goes for the drive and this uh could well be the four it's very Square through point and it reaches the boundary all long way away towards the hover cover we could have Rob Yates this is oh he edged and caught he is caught behind by James Rue that is the end of Ed Barnard by one other Overton bowls and there's an edge all along the ground past third slip it's going to reach the third man boundary AEL is chasing but only to retrieve the ball again strong wind still blowing this is whipped Away handsomely by bethl that was a little bit more of the white ball bethl little bit short of a length on leg Stomp and he connected sweetly to send it away to midwicket for four next season as Overton's in a Ball's Edge and caught at at the second attempt by Andy umid runs off the edge of the bat this is takes him on to 20 as it's played off his hip down to Jake ball at B now into Bol to Burgess burges drives drives that one away through cover point it probably will be picked up inside the boundary no it won't it keeps running across that area hes in again little bit short and burges is onto that very quickly and picks the Gap through the offside that's crisply timed and that's four runs as Aldrich comes in and ballls and this is driven by bethl beautifully away through the offside that's nicely timed and runs away through to the cover boundary aldri in again and bowls and bethl pulls this one away with fiercely that's the sort of shot we've been seeing in white ball Cricket that's the easy part each ball shorter this time and the cut is on and this time Burgess does not miss out he's gone through Extra cover four runs as Burgess Waits again drives crisply a little bit officially but he'll get fourth with the covers and sweetly timed again from Michael Burgess moves to 28 trying to assert himself on the ring so to speak pulls this time that was shorter and he's going to get four more through midwicket he just dropped it a fraction short it was straight but Beth was batting really well drives this one crisply into the cup Extra Extra cover and that's going to be another four runs again like the one earlier in the Innings there was no real force in that it was of taking long leg for both left-hander and right-hander ball is in again and this is hammered through midwicket for four from Jacob bethle he really is starting to see the ball perfectly now that wasn't that short leech is going to Bow left arm over to him short bethl goes for an extra Cover Drive and he's going to make it to the boundary and that is his half century he's batted very well coming in at a sticky situation 4.4 overs for 20 and this time is going to be even more runs because be burges comes down the pitch and Lofts him high for six replace his natural well apparently there's been a different here comes the big hit again and he's going to make it all the way to the boundary either six or four SLO sweep six runs leech once more and here comes this big shot again it's going to be six more another SLO sweep you could probably hear it hit something and Burgess this time just pushes the oh it's a Glide off the legs brilliantly done four runs it was pushed through a little quicker outside leg stump here is Davey bethl goes for the drive he's pierced the offside there's a big chase on here for Omid who loses it to the [Applause] ball Davey is in bethl is happy to defend again four overs to go we will finish at just about 7:00 and now
