- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.4 taken at mid-on! Length and slight climb into his body as he backs into the leg side. Looks to slog that in the vacant midwicket region, but it comes off the high and inside part of the bat, floats to Worrall's right and he lunges to grab it 13/17.3 hits off stump! Lovely comeback and a lovely pace. Lobbed up at a length outside off, he winds up for the slog sweep again but is through it too quickly. It's a googly 55/214.3 lovely work by Ben Dunk at long-on! Googly dropped short at middle stump, pulled flat to long-on's left. Dunk sprints to his left, leaps up to catch it reverse cup, takes one and then another to balance. He has one more step to go before he's over the boundary - and at this point, he summons all his core strength, springing up from his knees, and lobs it backhanded for Coulter-Nile at deep midwicket to complete the catch. Those kettlebell swings have worked 117/315.4 tonks middle stump! This is sensational legspin bowling from both ends. Zampa follows the slower one with a slider. But this one is at a stump line. Webster attempts that punch through the covers again but this one doesn't turn. Slides straight on and past his under edge 120/514.5 appeal for stumping. Length ball pushed wide outside off. Makes him reach out on the front foot and beats him. His back leg was briefly in the air. But might be back down by the time the bails are off...no! It's come down to one frame and the third umpire has used the side on angle and the long-on angle to deem that his toe is marginally in the air as the bails come off 118/416.6 has him next ball with a googly! Just not picking him at all. Googly at a length at off stump. Plants the front leg across the stumps and has a hurried flick at it. Rapped right in front and Lamichhane closes his spell with a three-for 124/619.4 caught behind. A quicker short one this time, a nice Test match length in the corridor. Looks for the pull again but that's too quick for him. Takes the edge and it's an easy catch for Handscomb 140/917.2 steered straight to backward point. Length ball at off stump. Boyce's front leg is in the leg side and he's jabbing, almost as if afraid of copping a bouncer. Thick outside edge straight to the fielder 125/719.2 run out at the non-striker's. Legcutter at a length on off stump. Has a big slog at that and is beaten. Doesn't want the run, probably for the best. Steyn gathers the throw and waits and teases before gently taking one bail off 140/8Extras10 (b 1, lb 8, w 1)TOTAL142/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.1)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Sam Harper, 1.4 ov), 2-55 (Aaron Finch, 7.3 ov), 3-117 (Shaun Marsh, 14.3 ov), 4-118 (Dan Christian, 14.5 ov), 5-120 (Beau Webster, 15.4 ov), 6-124 (Tom Cooper, 16.6 ov), 7-125 (Cameron Boyce, 17.2 ov), 8-140 (Tom Andrews, 19.2 ov), 9-140 (Will Sutherland, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.4 taken at backward point! Richardson was kept in the attack precisely for this. An opening, however small. Short and across the corridor. Steps out and cramps himself trying to slap that flat-batted. Leading edge is simple for the fielder 53/19.3 leading edge taken at mid-off! Length at leg stump. Looks to flick and has closed the face too early 75/2Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL143/2 (18.5 Overs, RR: 7.59)Fall of wickets: 1-53 (Nic Maddinson, 5.4 ov), 2-75 (Ben Dunk, 9.3 ov)
