- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.2 tremendous catch latching onto a skier at deep square leg. The part-timer Livingstone has burgled a wicket! Flighted full outside leg stump, Lynn heaves this against the spin and produces a skier swirling high over the leg side. Hardie shuffles to his left and jogs in 15 yards before lunging forward and taking this on his knees. 74/21.5 beauty from Behrendorff! Fullish length in the channel on fourth stump, sucks Bryant into a drive, but no footwork supporting the shot, clips the outside edge and a simple catch for Inglis behind the stumps. 16/118.1 slower ball full toss at thigh height on sixth stump, Labuschagne heaves this flat to deep midwicket where Munro intercepts this eight yards in from the rope taking the catch on his knees. 160/610.1 outstanding catch by Marsh claiming a skier at square leg charging 25 yards from short midwicket. Tye goes short first ball after the break and catches Denly a bit late trying to pull, skies this over the leg side and looks like it might fall into a Bermuda triangle initially but Marsh does tremendously to go full bore without hesitation despite two other fielders converging and takes a wonderful sliding catch after covering the distance. 96/311.1 almost a carbon copy of his first wicket! Full in the channel on fourth stump, Burns pokes at this with a slightly open face aiming to play with soft hands through third man and a thin edge carries low to Inglis. 100/417.1 yorker finally brings about the desired result! Slower ball lands full on off stump, Gregory tries to flick this over midwicket instead of jamming it out and pays the price. 156/518.6 low full toss on sixth stump, heaves this over midwicket for a single, should be an easy two but there's hesitation between the pair with seven balls left and it opens the door for Munro to relay to Richardson at the non-striker's end where Wildermuth is out by five yards. 171/7Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL181/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Max Bryant, 1.5 ov), 2-74 (Chris Lynn, 7.2 ov), 3-96 (Joe Denly, 10.1 ov), 4-100 (Joe Burns, 11.1 ov), 5-156 (Lewis Gregory, 17.1 ov), 6-160 (Marnus Labuschagne, 18.1 ov), 7-171 (Jack Wildermuth, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR12.3 identical to Lynn's wicket in the first innings. Floats this full and very wide outside leg, tries to heave this over the leg side but splices this high over wide long-on, hangs for Labuschagne to take this easily five yards in from the rope at wide long-on taken at head height backpedaling. 91/36.1 flights a lollipop at 74 kph on a good length and there's no bounce, ultimately working to defeat the charge. Ball just dies as Livingstone tries to heave this over midwicket and it clangs into the lower half of off stump. 53/19.4 Swepson avoids a near collision at deep cover to take a skier off a reverse slog sweep. Most deliveries from the spinners have been keeping low with not much bounce, this one is a rare delivery with extra bounce as Labuschagne floats this wide outside leg stump forcing Munro to drag this very far from leg into the off side, induces the skier and two men converge on the cover boundary. Swepson is the one with a bit more confidence and dives forward at the end to claim this inches from the turf. 66/213.1 skids this in flat and full on the stumps, Inglis charges and misses a heave for midwicket, he's struck in front of middle but again the ball is skidding low. Hits him on the knee with his back leg flexed low. In the old days the umpires never gave this out coming down the pitch but in the Hawkeye era they're much more inclined and a strong appeal is upheld, rightfully so as ball-tracking shows it was ripping out middle and leg three quarters of the way up. 94/413.4 skids past the edge straight onto middle stump! Bowls this flatter on middle and leg, turns just a touch but enough to beat this flick through midwicket, middle stump pegged back halfway up. 94/516.3 superb work from Steketee off his own bowling. yorker on middle, jams this out and it settles just in front of the striker. Big hesitation to go for the run or not and they finally set off but Steketee has a big head start in the footrace to the striker's stumps with Hardie. He slides baseball style to scoop and flick into the stumps from a foot away to beat Hardie's dive. He didn't even need to let the ball go. Would've got him out by sliding to the stumps and dislodging the bails with the ball in his hand. 126/6Extras5 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL175/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.75)Fall of wickets: 1-53 (Liam Livingstone, 6.1 ov), 2-66 (Colin Munro, 9.4 ov), 3-91 (Jason Roy, 12.3 ov), 4-94 (Josh Inglis, 13.1 ov), 5-94 (Ashton Turner, 13.4 ov), 6-126 (Aaron Hardie, 16.3 ov)
