- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 extra bounce accounts for Wade! Almost identical delivery to the one two balls ago that Wade scuffed into the ground. This time that back of a length ball angled across Wade from over the wicket on fifth stump channel climbs a bit more with extra bounce and pace at 140 kph. Wade's attempted cut results in a healthy edge through to Pooran at head height. 12/111.3 he strikes again! Full at off stump, Finch aiming a slightly ungainly heave across the line and misses. Might have been held back a touch 126/217.1 huge appeal for caught behind and it's another review...round the wicket, Marsh went for the pull and didn't connect. Pooran was up instantly. Marsh is walking off so he thinks he's hit it. And, yes, a big spike. Spin strikes again. Was a good catch. 166/611.4 gone first ball! What a series he's having. Full at middle and leg, Carey aiming to work it off his pads and gets a looping leading edge at head height 126/312.4 taken at long-on! Closer to off stump, full length, Henriques tries to fetch it and swings down the ground from a crouched position. Can't clear Allen 135/415.1 beautiful delivery! He could be stumped here. Delightful bowling. Full at off stump, grips and spins away to beat the edge as Turner lunges forward. He over balances and Pooran whips off the bails. Third umpire checking first if he edge it. Well, Turner appears to have already walked off the field so he thinks he's out! No edge, but he's comfortably stumped. Lovely work by bowler and keeper 146/5Extras14 (lb 4, nb 2, w 8)TOTAL189/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.45)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Matthew Wade, 1.5 ov), 2-126 (Aaron Finch, 11.3 ov), 3-126 (Alex Carey, 11.4 ov), 4-135 (Moises Henriques, 12.4 ov), 5-146 (Ashton Turner, 15.1 ov), 6-166 (Mitchell Marsh, 17.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.3 two in two balls! Is this the game? Short of a length, Simmons went for the pull, think this was near the splice, got near the deep midwicket rope by Henriques is there to swallow it. Knew where he was in relation to the rope 132/54.5 Zampa finally has his first wicket of the series! Lewis got a bit carried away here and really gifted his wicket by backing away well outside leg stump trying to carve over cover. It wasn't full enough for such a drive but because it was premeditated Lewis went for the shot anyway to a good length ball and misses badly as off stump is rattled. 62/17.2 full on sixth stump, Gayle tries to heave this back through the leg side over wide long-on, plenty of power behind this but not nearly enough elevation as it screams flat to Behrendorff on the rope. Gayle's bad luck to pick out the tallest man on the field who bunny hops to take this reaching above head height a yard inside the rope. 86/210.3 this one is through him! A very unconvincing innings from Fletcher. Short of a length, skids on again, Fletcher goes for the pull and plays right over the top of it 97/315.2 taken at long-off! Got plenty of height but not enough distance. A good length delivery, was wide enough outside off that it came from low down on the bat as Pooran aimed to loft straight down the ground. Christian judged it well 132/418.6 edged, caught behind! Full and wide outside off, goes for another big and gets a thin edge. Has that come too late for Australia 179/6Extras6 (nb 1, w 5)TOTAL185/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.25)Fall of wickets: 1-62 (Evin Lewis, 4.5 ov), 2-86 (Chris Gayle, 7.2 ov), 3-97 (Andre Fletcher, 10.3 ov), 4-132 (Nicholas Pooran, 15.2 ov), 5-132 (Lendl Simmons, 15.3 ov), 6-179 (Fabian Allen, 18.6 ov)
