Karen incorporates the tape into a game of cricket

Karen asks Paul what he thinks is brilliant. When he returns the question to her, she says she thinks cricket is brilliant.

She therefore decides to cover a tennis ball with the tape, to turn it into a cricket ball. She then sets up the cricket stumps, using the empty core from the roll of tape as the bail.

She gives Paul a cricket bat and helmet, and then bowls the ball to him. When he hits it, she shouts to her imaginary team-mates.

They then swap positions, and Paul tries to bowl to Karen while she commentates, but fails spectacularly, hitting the ground very short of the stumps.

Paul then bowls a second time, hitting Karen on the leg. When Karen suggests that he should make an appeal, Paul just apologises. When she tells him to do it again, he just says “sorry” again, but to the camera.

Paul bowls one more time and misses the stumps again, but Karen knocks the bails off herself and claims defeat, before shaking Paul’s hand.

She earns 1 point.
