SEC vs JSK Live Score: Looked like two wickets in the over, but...

The leggie Tahir goes up in appeal straight away after hitting Jordan Hermann's (1*) pads and takes off in celebration as the umpire raised his finger. But the batter asks for a review and replays show the ball would have missed the stumps. And Hermann ends the over with a straight-driven four. SEC's fifty comes up -- 53/2 in 5 overs.

We will bowl first. We've had some injuries in our squad, but it has given some others a chance to make a name for themselves, Sipamla for example. We've just one change with the debutant coming in. Looks like a reasonably good wicket and that's the reason we're bowling first today.

Not too bad (on batting first), wasn't 100% certain, might've bowled first if we had won the toss, but we'll look to make the most of batting first. We haven't played a complete game as yet and this is a good time to start playing a full game of good cricket. We've been here before, we have played some crunch games, even this season, we were in a tough situation after having lost the toss, looking to make the most of the do-or-die situation, playing the same team.
