- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 edged and brilliantly taken by Inglis! Good length, angled across, wobble seam, it nibbles away, he pushes at it and gets a thick edge, Inglis dives full stretch low to his left and pouches it with two hands 23/21.4 chipped to square midwicket! Back of a length on leg, Markram was surprised by Bartlett's lack of pace, he works off the hip but chips it in the air straight to Head at square midwicket who made a simple catch look slightly awkward but he held on 2/115.6 gone this time! Another leading edge, this one loops slowly straight down the pitch and it's a simple catch. Didn't need to move 90/330.6 short, pulled high in the air, taken at deep square leg! Huge wicket. Change of angle, round the wicket, went short, he took it on again, can't control this one and Carey judges it nicely in the deep. No gloves needed 179/443.1 skied high down the ground and Green takes the catch! Tossed up on off, he tries to slog sweep over deep midwicket against the turn, he skies it off the outside half of the bat high to straight long-on and Green cruises in to take the catch 245/832.6 Ellis does it again with a short ball! Green takes the catch at deep square! Banged in short, on pace, seam up, it hurried on and cramped him at chest height, he takes on the pull but miscues to the long boundary and Green takes a comfortable catch looking into the sun 185/540.1 holes out to long-on! Labuschagne might want more than one over! Tossed up outside off, he tries to slog sweep from outside off against the turn into the breeze and doesn't get any of it. Green is 10 metres in from the rope at long-on and takes it easily 233/642.1 knee high full toss hit straight to deep midwicket! Labuschagne is all smiles. This was a rank knee high full toss that should have been hit to the local beach but Muthusamy miscues and Hardie takes the catch on the rope at deep midwicket 243/745.5 holes out to long-off! Green pouches this running to his left. Wrong un tossed up outside off, he tries to launch but doesn't flush it, Green runs hard to his left and takes a superb catch sliding after running a long way 264/949.1 bowled him! 137kph, good length into the top of off, Ngidi tries to glide it to third man and loses the top of off! 277/10Extras7 (nb 1, w 6)TOTAL277 all out (49.1 Overs, RR: 5.63)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Aiden Markram, 1.4 ov), 2-23 (Ryan Rickelton, 5.4 ov), 3-90 (Tony de Zorzi, 15.6 ov), 4-179 (Matthew Breetzke, 30.6 ov), 5-185 (Dewald Brevis, 32.6 ov), 6-233 (Wiaan Mulder, 40.1 ov), 7-243 (Senuran Muthusamy, 42.1 ov), 8-245 (Tristan Stubbs, 43.1 ov), 9-264 (Nandre Burger, 45.5 ov), 10-277 (Lungi Ngidi, 49.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 very high...and taken at mid-on! Big early wicket. Head looking to loft down the ground, gets too far underneath, comes from the bottom of the bat. Markram backtracks a little outside the ring and takes it safely 6/19.2 taken at mid-on! Australia's problems grow. Short of a length, Marsh aiming to pull over the on side as he does so often, but sends it straight up in the air and doesn't get further than the edge of the circle 38/33.3 edged, gone! Ngidi strikes. A little wider outside off, Labuschagne goes for the drive, nibbles off the seam and it's a regulation snick to the keeper 7/222.3 a catch is held! Muthusamy takes a return chance! Beautifully bowled and caught. Tossed up, slightly slower, it drops on Green as he skips down and tries to work against the turn to long-on, gets a leading edge low back to the bowler and he does well to get the fingers under it 105/435.1 edged, gone! Surely that's the game. Gives himself room outside leg stump, drives at a very full ball, comes from the bottom of the bat through to the keeper. Ends a superb innings 184/727.3 sharp catch by Brevis at backward point! Back of a length wide of off, there to hit, Carey throws the hands at it but slices it flat and low to Brevis who pouches it at knee height 133/533.3 caught and bowled! Superb bowling and catching from Ngidi. 108kph slower ball, the offspinner, it completely deceives Hardie who chips it back with firm hands, Ngidi dives to his right and takes the catch very well in his follow through 175/635.4 pulled high into the on side, taken at mid-on! Ngidi has four. Dropped in short, Bartlett tried to pull it over the on side but ended up much like Marsh's dismissal 185/836.6 gone this time! Charges down, swings across the line, simple stumping 189/937.4 and that's it, five for Ngidi! Short of a length, Zampa looks to take it over the leg side, sends it high in the air and a simple catch at mid-on. Bosch with a collection of catches that won't go on his record 193/10Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL193 all out (37.4 Overs, RR: 5.12)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Travis Head, 2.2 ov), 2-7 (Marnus Labuschagne, 3.3 ov), 3-38 (Mitchell Marsh, 9.2 ov), 4-105 (Cameron Green, 22.3 ov), 5-133 (Alex Carey, 27.3 ov), 6-175 (Aaron Hardie, 33.3 ov), 7-184 (Josh Inglis, 35.1 ov), 8-185 (Xavier Bartlett, 35.4 ov), 9-189 (Nathan Ellis, 36.6 ov), 10-193 (Adam Zampa, 37.4 ov)
