- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 gone this time! Tried a repeat of the shot before, used his feet, giving himself room, it's back of a length and he cloths a drive to Marsh at mid-off 4/11.3 cleaned up! Conway using his feet, this shapes late past the outside edge and uproots middle stump. Nice delivery. Two very aggressive dismissals early on 6/21.4 an appeal for a catch down the leg side! They are keen. Angling past the pads, Chapman goes for the glance. Marsh has called the review. And he's nicked it! Good call from the Australians. And Dwarshuis is on a hat-trick 6/310.5 holes out to long-on! David takes the catch. Tossed up, step hit length, it was there to launch but he got under it too much and David settles inside the rope and takes it well 98/418.4 Jacobs is run out trying for three! Brilliant from Stoinis and Head on the rope! Yorker outside leg, he squeezes this out off the inside edge past short fine, Stoinis does brilliantly on the rope to flick it through the legs to Head who fires to Carey right next to bails and it beats Jacobs dive as his bat bounces on the turf! Amazing fielding 162/519.4 Bracewell run out trying for three! He drives to deep cover, easy two but was pushing for three, the throw was good from the deep and Dwarshuis took the bails off to beat Bracewell's dive 171/6Extras9 (b 1, lb 1, w 7)TOTAL181/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Tim Seifert, 0.3 ov), 2-6 (Devon Conway, 1.3 ov), 3-6 (Mark Chapman, 1.4 ov), 4-98 (Daryl Mitchell, 10.5 ov), 5-162 (Bevon Jacobs, 18.4 ov), 6-171 (Michael Bracewell, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.2 picks out deep cover! It should have been David on strike. Wide half volley, Marsh is down on one knee to carve it flat and straight to deep cover. Marsh will be annoyed 157/35.3 taken at midwicket! The short ball works with some pace off. Henry bangs it in, Head goes for the pull and splices it to the edge of the ring 67/111.1 plumb lbw! Missed a slower ball full toss! Leg cutter slower ball that is a shin high full toss but it deceived Short completely and it dipped into his front pad and he walked straight off without reviewing. Clever bowling. 135/216.2 Carey makes a mess of this! He backed away, gets a slower bouncer, he shapes to pull and then bails on the shot and just loops it off the face of the bat to short third! 181/4Extras8 (b 1, w 7)TOTAL185/4 (16.3 Overs, RR: 11.21)Fall of wickets: 1-67 (Travis Head, 5.3 ov), 2-135 (Matthew Short, 11.1 ov), 3-157 (Mitchell Marsh, 14.2 ov), 4-181 (Alex Carey, 16.2 ov)
