How to play

• Drag back from the bowling mark — sideways sets your line, distance sets your pace.
• Release to bowl; the new ball can swing in the air toward or away from the stumps.
• Beat the moving bat and clip the timber to take a wicket.
• Hit the bat and you concede runs, so pick your moment, angle and length carefully.
• Take as many wickets as you can before your spell of deliveries runs out.

Controls
