- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.4 sharp catch at extra cover by Stoinis! Zampa encouraged the drive by looping this very full on fifth stump, Bryant got under this but not enough to clear Stoinis, who leaps up from his spot inside the ring and parries this up into the air above head height initially before taking it on the rebound. 68/18.3 well well well, after all that wait, Maxwell finally gets his revenge! 30 minutes after giving up back-to-back sixes, Maxwell darts this in full on middle, Lynn has an almighty heave across the line and misses, clean bowled in the first ball after the second restart. 85/36.5 googly spins in and claims Denly first ball. This one was turning in sharply after pitching on off and Denly missed it by some distance going back to flick through midwicket. He was hit in front of leg stump but fairly deep in the crease. Replays show leg stump being clipped on ball-tracking. 68/2Extras5 (lb 2, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL115/3 (10 Overs, RR: 11.5)Fall of wickets: 1-68 (Max Bryant, 6.4 ov), 2-68 (Joe Denly, 6.5 ov), 3-85 (Chris Lynn, 8.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.4 Fletcher falls to a spectacular relay catch from long-off to long-on, Steketee to Bartlett. Full on the stumps, heaves this flat down the ground. Steketee does a bunny hop to catch this and flings it to Bartlett 15 yards away before he falls over the rope. Would've been mindblowing 5 years ago but now standard fare in T20 cricket. 42/16.4 full ball outside off, goes for another heave inside out and gets a thick edge to the keeper. 66/45.4 superb at deep square leg from Gregory! Steketee went short on fifth stump, Pooran shuffled slightly across but not far enough to get truly inside the line to hit this where he wanted. He skies this over deep square leg. Gregory ranges to his right along the rope with it swirling away and dives to his right at the last moment, holding on after his elbows thud into the turf on the landing. Often times the ball will pop out once the body hits the turf there but Gregory clasped on firmly. 59/25.6 first ball holing out to long-on. Steketee got this very full going for the yorker, Maxwell tried to slap this over the boundary rather than jamming this out and playing for the next ball, doesn't get much elevation and it floats gently to the fielder 15 yards in from the ring. 60/37.2 full length on fourth stump, heaves this a mile high to Bryant at deep midwicket. Far less adventurous than the Gregory catch earlier. Waits for this for ages before it comes down at waist height five yards in from the rope. 72/5Extras2 (lb 1, nb 1)TOTAL111/5 (10 Overs, RR: 11.1)Fall of wickets: 1-42 (Andre Fletcher, 4.4 ov), 2-59 (Nicholas Pooran, 5.4 ov), 3-60 (Glenn Maxwell, 5.6 ov), 4-66 (Marcus Stoinis, 6.4 ov), 5-72 (Hilton Cartwright, 7.2 ov)
