- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.2 the bowling change has worked as he knocks him over! Drifts into middle from wide of the crease, Salt goes for a slog, misses and the stumps take a beating. The skid off the pitch did him in. 40/21.6 he's got his man! Weatherald lives by the sword, dies by it. Not quite the length to hit on the up, toe-ends this lofted hit and mid-on takes a dolly. 29/15.4 through the gate! Doesn't pick the googly, looks to make room and go inside-out, doesn't get to the pitch, into the stroke early and this one beats the inside edge to crash into legstump 53/318.1 a laboured innings comes to an end as Carey holes out to mid off. Full, on off, and Carey wants to lift it over mid off. Toe-ends it, and the fielder makes a lot of ground diving away from the middle to take a swirling catch 142/4Extras14 (b 4, lb 5, w 5)TOTAL174/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.7)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Jake Weatherald, 1.6 ov), 2-40 (Phil Salt, 3.2 ov), 3-53 (Matthew Short, 5.4 ov), 4-142 (Alex Carey, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.3 sliced to deep cover Poor from Maddinson. Lost his shape, head looking away as he made contact. Good catch 9/19.5 he's slapped this back to the bowler. Has his revenge after being smacked for a six earlier in the over. Superb reflexes on his followthrough 66/33.5 slapped straight to cover, super catch! Rashid can breathe easy. White is a superb catcher, moved low to his left to pluck this. 24/213.1 gets him! Googly on middle with Handscomb giving him the charge. Tries to go leg-side but ball goes under his bat. Easy for the keeper 91/417.3 would you believe that? Maxwell's idiosyncracy costs him his wicket. Tries to reverse hook this over third man again, but it flies off the bat's toe and dislodges the bails. Stunning innings comes to an end 141/519.5 got 'im! Yorker on leg stump, and the bails are off even before Dunk could bring his bat down. What an over so far 169/6Extras14 (lb 3, w 11)TOTAL169/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Nic Maddinson, 1.3 ov), 2-24 (Hilton Cartwright, 3.5 ov), 3-66 (Marcus Stoinis, 9.5 ov), 4-91 (Peter Handscomb, 13.1 ov), 5-141 (Glenn Maxwell, 17.3 ov), 6-169 (Ben Dunk, 19.5 ov)
