- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.3 LBW! Rashid does the trick! He tried to reverse sweep to a full ball, beaten for pace and length, hit his front pad on the half-volley, and looked to be infront of leg stump and going straight on! The umpire's finger went up! 37/115.1 caught at deep midwicket! Thigh high full toss on off, he nailed this towards deep midwicket but couldn't get under it enough, he hit it flat at the man in the deep and Wells stays calm and takes the catch easily. 123/53.4 chipped to midwicket! Two in two! Shorter wrong un, he went back and tried to work it square, he got a leading edge and it just popped up straight to O'Connor at midwicket! Ferguson can't believe it! 37/212.2 caught at deep square leg! 144kph, chest high short ball, he hammered a pull shot flat and a long way, but it is the biggest boundary on the ground, Wells is right back near the rope and he takes the catch moving to his left! 114/312.5 caught at mid off! Back of a length slower ball outside off, Sams tries to flat bat a pull shot but it miscues, spooning a catch to mid off and Laughlin took an easy catch 114/417.5 caught by long off running in! Full toss outside off, he tried to launch this over the leg side, but sliced it high towards long off, Neser runs in 20m and takes a pretty simple catch in the end. 138/6Extras3 (lb 2, w 1)TOTAL168/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.4)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Anton Devcich, 3.3 ov), 2-37 (Callum Ferguson, 3.4 ov), 3-114 (Jason Sangha, 12.2 ov), 4-114 (Daniel Sams, 12.5 ov), 5-123 (Shane Watson, 15.1 ov), 6-138 (Arjun Nair, 17.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.6 LBW! 115kph, slower ball! It was a good length off cutter, he stepped across the stumps, tried to whip behind square, missed it, got hit on the knee roll plumb infront of off stump! 18/20.6 caught at backward point! A seam up, away-swinger, fuller, he tries to square drive on the up, slices it in the air to backward point and Sandhu takes the catch below his knees! 9/15.2 caught behind! 130kph, back of a length, just outside off, it bounced higher than expected, he tried to run it down to third man, got a little edge and Lenton takes the catch infront of his eyes! 26/313.5 caught by long off running in! Beaten by flight and drop. It was only 77kph, he skips down the track but stays leg side, he tries to loft over long off but gets it off the toe, scooping it high towards long off, Sams runs in a fair way and takes the catch well. 81/512.5 Stumped! Magnificently bowled by Green. From around the wicket, he threw it up slower and wider of off, he skips out to drive, he's beaten by the flight and drift, it slides past him, Lenton completes the stumping easily 75/414.5 caught at long off! Good catch by Green. This was a wrong un, he danced down, nailed it flat out of the middle of the bat, but no elevation, straight to Green and he holds on nicely 88/617.1 caught at deep square! Short slower ball, Rashid sets himself, he toes a pull shot high to deep square but nowhere near far enough to reach the rope, Nair comes in, steadies himself and takes the catch 95/915.2 Bowled him! Dragged on! A tossed up carrom ball, outside off, he tries to sweep, gets a bottom edge and drags it onto the off stump! 89/715.4 caught at long off! Off break tossed up outside off, he swings hard, trying to hit straight down the ground, he slices it high to long off, Jordan is 10m off the rope and he takes the catch easily. 89/817.4 Is this a run out? Stanlake lost his bat. Oh no! He's out on replay! What a horror way to end it. It was pushed to midwicket for a tight one, Green gathered and threw to Lenton, Stanlake was going to make his ground easily, but as he slid his bat it stuck in the ground just short of the line, he lost control of it, his next step was just short of the line, his body was over the line but in the air when Lenton broke the stumps! So unfortunate for big Billy. 97/10Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL97 all out (17.4 Overs, RR: 5.49)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Jake Weatherald, 0.6 ov), 2-18 (Matthew Short, 2.6 ov), 3-26 (Travis Head, 5.2 ov), 4-75 (Jonathan Wells, 12.5 ov), 5-81 (Colin Ingram, 13.5 ov), 6-88 (Harry Nielsen, 14.5 ov), 7-89 (Michael Neser, 15.2 ov), 8-89 (Ben Laughlin, 15.4 ov), 9-95 (Rashid Khan, 17.1 ov), 10-97 (Billy Stanlake, 17.4 ov)
