- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.1 caught behind! What a huge moment. Round the wicket, it's a lovely delivery, full outside off, nips away and takes a thin nick. What a start for the Stars 3/15.4 taken at long-on! The gamble fails for Short. He tried to go down the ground, can't quite get the distance, the ball was very full, and it's well taken moving to his left by Gotch 42/31.6 cleaned him up with a beauty! What an over from Worrall. He came back over the wicket, this is a length ball around middle and leg, nipped and beat the edge to smash into middle stump. Wonderful bowling 5/217.5 dragged to deep midwicket, it's a slower ball wide outside off, McDermott tries to clear the leg side but it comes from low down off the bat. Big wicket with the set batsman gone 136/515.6 wide outside off, aims over the leg side but can only picks out long-on...came off the toe end of the bat. A slower ball 117/418.3 swings across the line of a length delivery and that's a fourth wicket for Worrall, it's a legspinner slower ball, Milenko aiming to heave towards midwicket 138/619.3 swings a delivery from very wide outside off to deep midwicket, there's all sorts of confusion in the running and Faulkner is the man out. Archer just kept on running back 148/7Extras7 (b 3, lb 1, w 3)TOTAL153/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Matthew Wade, 1.1 ov), 2-5 (Caleb Jewell, 1.6 ov), 3-42 (D'Arcy Short, 5.4 ov), 4-117 (George Bailey, 15.6 ov), 5-136 (Ben McDermott, 17.5 ov), 6-138 (Simon Milenko, 18.3 ov), 7-148 (James Faulkner, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.1 given caught behind, although Wade didn't appeal...Archer went up in his follow through! Short of a length, angled across outside off, Dunk aiming to force it off the back foot. Not sure he's too impressed 11/16.5 what a beauty! A bit of magic from the leggie. A length ball, pitches on middle, grips, turns past the edge and hits the top of off stump. Stoinis offers a nod in acknowledgement 52/210.4 big sweep, misses, that looked dead! Qais having a massive impact. Very full, just straightened a fraction, maybe not stone dead but taking leg stump 85/48.5 tries a repeat, another top edge, taken this time! Maddinson wanted to keep going, he didn't really need to. Brings out the slog sweep, goes almost straight up, Clive Rose manages to steady himself under from short fine leg 78/3Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL157/4 (18.5 Overs, RR: 8.33)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Ben Dunk, 1.1 ov), 2-52 (Marcus Stoinis, 6.5 ov), 3-78 (Nic Maddinson, 8.5 ov), 4-85 (Peter Handscomb, 10.4 ov)
