Neesham then turned the match on its head in the 23-run 17th over, hitting Chris Jordan for two sixes and a four. "Really chuffed with the heart that was shown throughout that performance. We had wickets in hand which was really important. Neesham came out and hit the ball hard, and changed the momentum of the game."
Bairstow made 18 before driving Adam Milne to mid-off where Williamson demonstrated the sharp catching which has been the hallmark of his team.
