Canada vs U.S.A., ICC Men's T20 World Cup, 1st Match, Group A

Canada Innings

2.2 Ali Khan to Johnson, FOUR runs

Thickish inside edge but Johnson's power gets the ball racing between mid-on and midwicket. The former chases but had no chance. Was a three-quarter length ball on fourth stump, Johnson committed on the front foot and tried to smack it down the ground, bat-faced turned a bit but he got it into the ground

2.3 Ali Khan to Johnson, 4 leg byes

Ouch, Johnson gets hit on the helmet by a bouncer angling in. He was beaten on the pull and the ball deflected in the gap at first slip. Rolls too fine and for four. There will be a concussion test, Johnson looks okay to continue
