- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1 Sitling steps across the stumps and looks to ramp the ball, can only get a little nick through to the keeper. 4/12.1 Adair flicks the ball around the corner.

Throws the ball up in the air to celebrate and both the Knights openers are gone. 10/26.5 Carmichael top edges a slower ball and it flies high in the air. Tucker keeps his eye on the ball behind the stumps, and takes a couple of steps back before the ball settles in his gloves 52/42.4 another wicket goes down! Topping pushes forward with the bat, the ball hits the outsided edge and goes straight to Little at short third. Little tumbles to the ground as he completes the catch 14/39.2 Off-stump is knocked back! Rock looks to play across the line and is beaten for pace, the ball comes back in and hits the off-stump.
