- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 skied to SKY at mid-off!! Head started walking back the moment the ball left his bat. Arshdeep bowled it on the shorter side, and pitched it outside off. It ended up wide of off, however, and again Head went swat-pulling by throwing his hands at it. The ball ended up going miles up for Suryakumar, who pouched it safely 6/18.2 taken by Tilak at long-off!! Marsh hardly had the strike and the momentum in this partnership, and perishes while looking to break free. Varun bowls this full and slower, and goes around off. Marsh looked ready to try and launch it down the ground even before the ball arrived, and ended up ballooning it for a simple catch. Tilak, though, looked like he overran while moving forward 73/32.3 gone!! Swung away to the man at fine leg. Arshdeep keeps bowling the leg-side line, but this time strikes. He bowls this on a length, and swings it in. It pitches outside leg, and Inglis decides to go with the angle, as he clips it aerially. The ball doesn't travel the distance, though, with Axar grabbing a simple chance at the boundary 14/212.6 Tilak nearly repeats his catch from the last game!! He's at long-off, and balances himself while skipping at the boundary. His left leg was close to the rope, but he ended up avoiding to touch it. Dube bowls this on a length, and on off or thereabouts. David lofts through the line, and hits it flat. There's not much force there, and Tilak grabs it comfortably in the end 118/58.3 bowled him!! A golden duck for Owen. On a length from Varun, who slows it down, and gets it to turn back in. The ball was flicked off his fingers, as it pitched just outside off or thereabouts, and ended up hitting the side of the middle stump as Owen looked to cut at it but was beaten by the turn 73/419.3 this time Rinku takes it cleanly. He's sitting at long-on - slightly wider than usual, I thought - and bagged this comfortably. Arshdeep swung this ball in considerably, and got it to land as a low full toss around off. Stoinis went flashing at it, but couldn't clear the comparatively longer boundary 182/6Extras1 (lb 1)TOTAL186/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.3)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Travis Head, 0.4 ov), 2-14 (Josh Inglis, 2.3 ov), 3-73 (Mitchell Marsh, 8.2 ov), 4-73 (Mitchell Owen, 8.3 ov), 5-118 (Tim David, 12.6 ov), 6-182 (Marcus Stoinis, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 top edge, and Inglis takes a simple catch!! I thought Abhishek lost patience here. This over had been quiet, and he went across the stumps early. Ellis banged it short and hard on the stumps, and the ball arrived higher than Abhishek expected. He went pulling, but the ball popped up off the top edge. Inglis moved a few steps forward, and gobbled it 33/15.3 loud and confident appeal for lbw, and given!! My first impression was that it would head down the leg side, but no. Oh, Gill reviews, though. Maybe he or his partner think on similar lines. Ellis swung it in again, and landed it quite full on middle as the ball struck his front pad on middle and leg. Gill looked to flick from off, and was beaten. No bat involved, and replays show the ball would have hit leg stump. So Gill departs, and takes with him a review 61/27.3 spooned to extra cover!! Surya falls to the slower ball, and has his head down. Short in length, and around sixth stump from Stoinis, who bowled an offcutter. It has been a slow pitch today, and this ball seemed stuck in it before arriving at Surya. He ended up pushing forward tamely, and Ellis at extra cover took a simple catch 76/314.2 popped up for Inglis!! Tilak looked to scoop, but got it off the top edge. He got across the stumps early, and Bartlett bowled it seam up on a short of a length on the stumps. I think the bounce and pace may have been too much for Tilak for that shot, and he ended up mistiming the ball 145/511.1 lovely catch by Bartlett!! He was placed at midwicket, and moved forward before tumbling and grabbing this low. Another bouncer by Ellis, who cramped Axar for room. In fact, Axar nearly took his eyes off the ball. He went pulling, but the ball tamely went off the top edge after the ball pitched on leg and arrived on middle. Australia still in the game 111/4Extras7 (nb 2, w 5)TOTAL188/5 (18.3 Overs, RR: 10.16)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Abhishek Sharma, 3.3 ov), 2-61 (Shubman Gill, 5.3 ov), 3-76 (Suryakumar Yadav, 7.3 ov), 4-111 (Axar Patel, 11.1 ov), 5-145 (Tilak Varma, 14.2 ov)
