- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.1 and strikes straightaway! The pressure was building. Good length ball, a huge swing across the line and the off stump goes back 66/31.1 cleaned him up! Strikes first ball and that's 50th T20I wicket. It's a massive hack across the line, good length ball, Charles swipes and misses. Maybe less said about that the better 14/15.2 that looks very straight and, yep, gone! Not sure there's any point reviewing and he walks off. Walked right across his stumps. Hit the knee roll. Clipping at worst. Oh, wow, it's going over! There's the bounce of an Australian wicket. 48/214.1 a short one outside off, goes for the pull but gets a top edge behind the stumps. Wade moves to his right and pouches it near short fine leg region 88/510.5 a superb delivery, full and tailing in late. Pooran looks to get his bat down but the ball hits the pad first and then ricochets onto the bat. Pooran almost falls down but recovers quickly to complete a single to mid-on. An appeal for lbw but not given. Finch hesitates first but then decides to opt for the review. Looks like it is going but the replay shows it pitched in line, the impact too was in line of the stumps and it would have taken out the leg stump. Starc cannot believe his luck, nor can Pooran his 75/416.2 A third wicket for Hazlewood. Short of length at the stumps, Powell goes for the pull but manages only a top edge and the ball goes straight up. Hazlewood moves across, just beyond forward short leg region and takes it comfortably 106/715.2 Cummins strikes back. A length ball at the stumps. A touch shorter than the last one perhaps. Holder had already moved towards the off side and looked to pull it over deep midwicket. He missed it and the ball clattered into the stumps 101/619.6 full outside off, Cariah fails to connect but Smith looks to sneak in a bye. Not today, says Wade as he nails the direct hit 145/917.6 Starc ends his spell with a wicket. Full on the stumps, Joseph gets under it and launches it towards long-off but he has got more height than distance on it. David settles under it at long-off and takes it reverse cups 122/8Extras15 (lb 3, nb 1, w 11)TOTAL145/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.25)Did not bat: SS CottrellFall of wickets: 1-14 (Johnson Charles, 1.1 ov), 2-48 (Brandon King, 5.2 ov), 3-66 (Kyle Mayers, 9.1 ov), 4-75 (Nicholas Pooran, 10.5 ov), 5-88 (Raymon Reifer, 14.1 ov), 6-101 (Jason Holder, 15.2 ov), 7-106 (Rovman Powell, 16.2 ov), 8-122 (Alzarri Joseph, 17.6 ov), 9-145 (Odean Smith, 19.6 ov)
