- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.6 caught at long on! A leg break tossed up, he tried to slog sweep from outside off but hit it flat and straight to Hinchliffe who was about 15 metres off the rope at long on and took the easy waist high chance. He completely mis-hit that. 26/24.4 stumped! Brilliant from Gotch. This was another good wrong un, Hughes tried to go up and over cover and was beaten by the wrong un, he dragged his back foot as he tried to drive, Gotch whipped the bails off before he could get his back foot down 25/113.2 a mis hit to mid off and he's out! A good 126kph, slower ball, an off cutter that just dropped on him, he tried to go inside out over mid off but miscued and picked out Maddinson on the circle 140/313.6 Curran is run out by Maxwell! Very full, 136kph, he drives to long on and they take on Maxwell for two and that was never going to end well. His throw to the striker's end was a rocket and Curran didn't get halfway back 143/4Extras4 (lb 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL143/4 (14 Overs, RR: 10.21)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Daniel Hughes, 4.4 ov), 2-26 (Josh Philippe, 4.6 ov), 3-140 (Moises Henriques, 13.2 ov), 4-143 (Tom Curran, 13.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.4 monstrous sky ball caught brilliantly by Henriques running back from midwicket! He tossed up bravely but it was a touch shorter, Stoinis tried to go again but got under it and hit it miles into the night sky, three men converged but Henriques running back with a cool head took the catch easily. That was not as simple as he made it look 109/33.1 caught behind trying to scoop fine! This was a length ball straight, he set up early to try and scoop this fine with fine leg up but just got a bit of glove on the way through to Philippe. Easy catch 35/19.4 Bowled him! Excellent slower ball. Completely deceived by a 113kph slower ball, he tried to heave across the line, was through the shot way too soon and it crashed into the top of middle 84/213.2 caught at long on! That's the game! 113kph, short slower ball, he stood up to try and pull it over wide long on but didn't get any of it, Henriques runs in and takes the catch easily 120/513.1 caught at cover! It was a slower ball outside off, he cleared the front leg and slices this off the top edge to cover and Hughes takes a simple catch. They crossed at least 120/4Extras6 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL125/5 (14 Overs, RR: 8.92)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Hilton Cartwright, 3.1 ov), 2-84 (Nic Maddinson, 9.4 ov), 3-109 (Marcus Stoinis, 11.4 ov), 4-120 (Nick Larkin, 13.1 ov), 5-120 (Glenn Maxwell, 13.2 ov)
