Drifting down leg, Stoinis tries to flick it over deep square, he closed the face a touch early and gets a leading edge that flies a long way to the deep square rope, O'Connor got a little too far under it initially but he backtracked and took a good catch. 113/119.6 Run out! Good length wide of off, he steps outside off, drags a slog sweep to deep midwicket, they take on Wells' throw to try and eek out one more run, but Wells gets it into Carey quick enough even though it's wide, Carey gathers and flicks onto the stumps with Handscomb caught short 167/2Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL167/2 (20 Overs, RR: 8.35)Fall of wickets: 1-113 (Marcus Stoinis, 13.4 ov), 2-167 (Peter Handscomb, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.6 caught at deep midwicket! There's the breakthrough. Stoinis bangs a slower ball back of a length, Carey pulls in the air to deep midwicket but he picks out the man on the rope and Maddinson takes a comfortable catch. 54/23.1 Run out backing up! So unfortunate for Weatherald. Carey drives firmly back to the bowler, Bird sticks a hand out and gets a touch on it, deflecting it onto the non-striker's stumps. Weatherald reached back to try and make his ground, his bat was over the line but not grounded! He's out! Very unlucky. 20/113.6 caught at mid off! Slower ball does it. 100kph off cutter, he tries to loft a drive but the lack of pace sees him just scoop it meekly to mid off and Maxwell on the circle swallows the catch 97/411.5 caught at long off! Good catch by Maxwell! Slower ball outside off, he tries to loft down the ground, he gets under it and hits it very high to straight long off, Maxwell has to judge it in the breeze, it gets a little big on him but he hangs on to a good catch falling to the ground. 79/315.1 caught by mid off running back! Slower ball outside off, he tries to loft over mid off, he gets under it slicing this high, Maddinson runs back from the circle and takes a good catch going with the flight. 101/515.3 caught at mid off again! Full outside off, normal pace delivery, he cleared the left leg to go over the on side but carved this flat to Maddinson on the circle at mid off and he takes the catch again! 103/616.3 Bowled him! He advances down the track to another slower ball off cutter, again it grips in the slow surface, spins and stays low and flattens middle stump! 105/816.1 Bowled him! Slower ball off cutter, 122kph, he gives room to swing this over midwicket, it spins off the surface beats the inside edge and crashes into the top of middle! 104/719.4 chopped on! Bravo ends it. Good length outside off, Laughlin tries to launch it down the ground, gets a thick inside edge and it cannons into off stump! 123/1017.3 caught and bowled! Brilliant from Bravo! 104kph slower ball, O'Connor gives room and hammers a drive flat straight back at the bowler, Bravo with quick reflexes pouches the catch easily! 108/9Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL123 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 6.25)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Jake Weatherald, 3.1 ov), 2-54 (Alex Carey, 6.6 ov), 3-79 (Colin Ingram, 11.5 ov), 4-97 (Jake Lehmann, 13.6 ov), 5-101 (Jonathan Wells, 15.1 ov), 6-103 (Rashid Khan, 15.3 ov), 7-104 (Michael Neser, 16.1 ov), 8-105 (Matthew Short, 16.3 ov), 9-108 (Liam O'Connor, 17.3 ov), 10-123 (Ben Laughlin, 19.4 ov)
