- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 Fraser-McGurk goes hard again, doesn't quite connect cleanly again, and this time he's caught at long-on. Fullish, slanting across, and JFM looks to go big but slices it high in the air. Sole, running in from long-on, gets under it and juggles, but manages to hold on on the second grab while falling to the ground 23/21.4 bowled him!!!! Currie is too spicy for Head today, and he's bowled for a golden duck! Beautiful delivery. Good length, pitching just outside off, and Head is half-forward to defend. Leaves a bit of a gap between bat and pad, and the ball nips in and bursts through 11/118.5 Straight to cover! This is dug in short, pace off, and Inglis has to try and manufacture the power as he looks to slap it away in front. He can't get enough on it to clear Berrington at cover, who takes the simplest of catches. That's a magnificent innings brought to an end by a bowler who has done a terrific job today! 179/411.4 High in the sky! And Currie grabs it for his third! Huge top edge as Green swings across the line. Currie settles under it and takes the catch clean. The bowling change works for Scotland 115/3Extras4 (nb 2, w 2)TOTAL196/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.8)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Travis Head, 1.4 ov), 2-23 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 3.2 ov), 3-115 (Cameron Green, 11.4 ov), 4-179 (Josh Inglis, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 and Munsey's gone, Scotland needed more from him today than just a cameo. Short, into the pitch, angling away from the left-hander. Looks to flat-bat it, probably over the covers, but it sticks in the pitch and bounces a little more than he'd like. Hits the bat close to the top edge and balloons up for mid-off to catch running to his left 20/21.5 straight up in the air, and it's Inglis who gets under it, running from his perch behind the stumps all the way to where square leg would be to complete a falling grab. Hard-length ball in the corridor, and a bit of extra bounce finds the top edge as Jones looks to go aerial down the ground 20/112.3 Stunning catch from David! Boy, did Australia need that wicket! This is dug in short and McMullen skips out and flat bats it down the ground. David is running to his left from long-on and he does well to hold on with all his momentum behind him 106/55.5 Stoinis gets his man, ends Berrington's struggle. Looks to step out again and Stoinis goes short, hard into the pitch outside off. Gets big on him as he looks to flat-bat it, and all he manages is to send the ball looping high into the cover point region 44/39.3 a touch too full for the sweep, and he maybe thought this was angling down leg, but I think this pitched just within the line of leg stump. Misses the sweep without fully getting down on his knee, and Zampa is immediately turning around to appeal. Given out, and there's no third umpire or reviews in this series. It looked very out, for what that's worth 70/413.4 Leask holes out at deep midwicket! This is a slower ball, full outside off, and Leask is looking to slog it over cow corner. But he doesn't get enough to clear JFM at deep midwicket, and he holds on to a simple chance 110/614.2 Bowled 'im! Green gets his name on the wickets tally. Got this full ball to angle into Watt, who tries to block but is late to bring the bat down. It goes off his thighs and onto the stumps and he has to make the disappointing walk back 115/716.4 And Greaves picks out long leg! Inglis' century and Australia's bowling proved to be too much for Scotland in the end. The full balll works for Stoinis as Greaves fails to get enough height or distance on that, looking to scoop. And that wraps up a 70-run win for Australia 126/1014.3 That's on the money from Cam Green! Just the sole delivery needed to get rid of Chris Sole. This is a length ball angling in from outside off. Sole went for the big shot down the ground but missed completely and the off stump is pegged back. Green wheels away in celebration as Australia close in on that 2-0 series lead 115/816.2 Skied to cover! Full on the stumps and he looks to back away and drive it down the ground. Mistimes it and it balloons up and Bartlett settles under it coming in from cover 125/9Extras14 (lb 10, w 4)TOTAL126 all out (16.4 Overs, RR: 7.56)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Michael Jones, 1.5 ov), 2-20 (George Munsey, 2.1 ov), 3-44 (Richie Berrington, 5.5 ov), 4-70 (Charlie Tear, 9.3 ov), 5-106 (Brandon McMullen, 12.3 ov), 6-110 (Michael Leask, 13.4 ov), 7-115 (Mark Watt, 14.2 ov), 8-115 (Chris Sole, 14.3 ov), 9-125 (Brad Wheal, 16.2 ov), 10-126 (Chris Greaves, 16.4 ov)
