- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.4 got 'im!. They're not reading Zahir Khan at all. The go-to method seems to be to rush down the track, but that can prove dangerous when the bowler can beat you in flight and with turn. That's what happens, and Inglis's swipe connects only with air. Zahir doesn't miss the stumps 43/23.3 rapped in front. What a response by the bowler. This was flighted beautifully, dipped on the batsman and left him uncertain whether to press forward or rock back. He opts for a tentative working away, but the ball beats bat and turns into him, strikes him on the pad. Would have struck leg stump 30/118.4 fuller and angling away from Bancroft who looks to clear long-on but ends up slicing it. Cutting comes in a bit and takes it comfortably 136/510.5 Renshaw takes the catch. A touch fuller but not in the slot, Turner though goes for it, launches it towards long-on but doesn't get it from the middle of the bat. Was in the air for a long time and Renshaw settles under it 70/316.1 fuller on the pads, picks it up and makes a neat connection but it's straight into the lap of Heazlett at deep midwicket. A crucial strike at this stage 116/419.5 short of length this time, Agar attempts a pull but can only get an outside edge to the keeper 147/6Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL149/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.45)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Liam Livingstone, 3.3 ov), 2-43 (Josh Inglis, 5.4 ov), 3-70 (Ashton Turner, 10.5 ov), 4-116 (Mitchell Marsh, 16.1 ov), 5-136 (Cameron Bancroft, 18.4 ov), 6-147 (Ashton Agar, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.1 caught plumb in front. Jagged in sharply off the seam, and Banton is just caught on the crease, no foot movement, not even any bat movement almost. He has looked out of touch this innings, and the ball thuds into his pad in front of the stumps before he has brought his bat down to push it 12/13.1 he's left standing!. This was flat and well outside off, strange choice of shot first ball, rushing down the track to give himself room. Because it was flat and fast, Bryant is left just standing outside his crease even as the bails are whipped off 18/210.6 straight to Chris Jordan at long-on. Was a length ball at the stumps, Lynn looks to smash it over long-on but is nowhere near the pitch of the ball 51/74.1 got him with a slower ball!. Rolls his fingers over it, off-cutter on a length. Seemed to stick in the pitch a bit too and Renshaw is way too early into his attempted flick, ends up with a leading edge that pops back to Jordan 21/35.6 yorks him in front of the stumps. The last ball was a slower one, this one is quick. Heazlett can't flick it away, and is struck on the bottom of the pad in front of leg stump. Pitched on leg too, and would have hit the stumps 38/49.2 caught behind. flat and quick one again, outside off, Peirson was giving himself room to punch through cover, gets an outside edge and the keeper standing up takes it well. Had very little time to react, but it came straight in his gloves and he gathered it well 49/510.3 bowled'im! Backs away to this length ball on the stumps, and looks to push on the off side. The balls comes slow off the wicket to beat the batsman and castle into the stumps 50/614.3 a googly to castle Steketee. Was a length ball around off, the batsman went back to cut but misses and the stumps are disturbed 70/815.1 hits it straight towards deep midwicket. Short and there to be hit but Livingstone mistimes the pull and loses his wicket 78/918.4 length ball, looks to smash it over midwicket but miscues. Goes in the air towards extra cover where Livingstone takes an easy catch 109/10Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL109 all out (18.4 Overs, RR: 5.83)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Tom Banton, 2.1 ov), 2-18 (Max Bryant, 3.1 ov), 3-21 (Matt Renshaw, 4.1 ov), 4-38 (Sam Heazlett, 5.6 ov), 5-49 (Jimmy Peirson, 9.2 ov), 6-50 (Ben Cutting, 10.3 ov), 7-51 (Chris Lynn, 10.6 ov), 8-70 (Mark Steketee, 14.3 ov), 9-78 (Josh Lalor, 15.1 ov), 10-109 (Ben Laughlin, 18.4 ov)
