Continuing his run up, he delivers right arm over the wicket, pitched on a length just outside of off stump. The batsman, with foot to the pitch of the ball plays to mid-off. No run, bringing up the 17th Maiden of this quite exceptional innings.
Full scorecard to follow at close of play.

jinxed myself saying we were on target for the best month since install - the last 10 days of July have been a lot cloudier. But we have been blessed with rain as a trade off. As a result we are just under 80 kWh lower than our best solar month.

We're still generating but it's only 20 watts or so which isn't going to change the results for the month.
July - 450kWh, 165 Os 🤩
This is the best month that I've got records for, by quite a margin. I don't think I've had a month above 400kWh before.
The EcoFlow "plug-in" system has made 249kWh, 138 Os, and I'm very happy with that too!
