- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.3 slower bouncer does him in. Short on off, tries to muscle this over mid-on but defeated by the lack of pace at 114 kph, his timing is thrown off and top edges this to backward point. Simple catch on the ring. 54/23.2 finally falls chipping to long-on. Fullish length on off stump, McDermott could have driven straight through mid-off but that gap had been plugged numerous times and instead he tries to show off his muscles attempting to clear one of the only two boundary riders on the opposite straight boundary. Didn't get the power behind it and it floats to the man stationed there who jogs in to claim this 15 yards inside the ring. Soft dismissal after getting a life in the previous over. 23/19.3 almost a carbon copy of the Darcy Short dismissal. Short on fifth stump, hustles him with a bouncer that he tries to muscle over the leg side but late playing the shot and it splices up to mid-off. Easy catch for Cooper on the edge of the ring. 66/39.4 Gregory on a hat trick! Goes full this time, Handscomb's footwork not quite there trying to drive at a slower ball on a full length, keeps his feet rooted to the crease while reaching a long way forward and spoons this flat toward mid-off, sharp catch by Steketee diving forward from the ring. 66/413.3 drags the length back on fifth stump, slaps this straight to extra cover on the ring. Steketee rolls the fingers over this to take some pace off and the batsman is through the shot a touch early. Fielders were up in the ring and looked like he was trying to go up and over but the change of pace threw his timing off a touch. Easy catch at waist height. 91/515.5 thigh high full toss, worst ball of the over is the one that fetches a wicket! Should've gone for six, David tries to muscle this over Cooper at long-on but this comes lower down the bat nearer the toe and doesn't get true power behind it, shovels it to the dual national Dutch-Aussie who ranges 15 yards left along the rope and snatches this above head height. 106/616.4 not going to get away with it a second time. Another slower ball that Ellis is too far in front of trying to clear the ring, this time skies it a lot straighter in the air. Gregory with a chance at redemption and backpedals at mid-off to claim it easily. 113/7Extras2 (nb 1, w 1)TOTAL148/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.4)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Ben McDermott, 3.2 ov), 2-54 (D'Arcy Short, 7.3 ov), 3-66 (Dawid Malan, 9.3 ov), 4-66 (Peter Handscomb, 9.4 ov), 5-91 (Colin Ingram, 13.3 ov), 6-106 (Tim David, 15.5 ov), 7-113 (Nathan Ellis, 16.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.6 length ball on the stumps, flicks this flat to square leg, Malan takes it at rib height two yards to the left of the umpire. It was there to hit. Two yards either side and it may have been another boundary but he picks out the man on the ring to break the opening stand. 73/18.3 short on fourth stump, Heazlett tries to give Short the same treatment that Parker got from him earlier going to clear deep midwicket but doesn't get the elevation and sends it flat to Malan who takes it 10 yards in from the rope claiming it on his knees. 87/36.6 drags on. Fairly innocuous delivery on a good length on middle and off, Lawrence didn't look entirely comfortable during his very brief stay at the crease. Pokes away from his body with zero footwork as was the case on the previous ball, bottom edge crashes into middle stump. 76/210.4 oh my goodness! All the luck that Cooper had surviving that first ball lbw shout, well karma has shifted to Darcy Short! Cooper blitzes a full delivery back at Short at chest height straight back down the pitch and Short knifes this one-handed with his favored left hand. That'll be on the tournament highlight reel for the next month. 96/411.5 short on the stumps, goes to pull and a top edge floats to extra cover on the ring. Handscomb claims this with glee. 102/611.3 another drag on! Slower ball at 127 kph lands back of a length on off stump, tentative poke well away from the body by Gregory with a diagonal bat, bottom edge again onto the stumps. More than a few of those in this match. Lack of footwork exposed again. 99/5Extras10 (lb 5, w 5)TOTAL152/6 (17.2 Overs, RR: 8.76)Fall of wickets: 1-73 (Max Bryant, 5.6 ov), 2-76 (Dan Lawrence, 6.6 ov), 3-87 (Sam Heazlett, 8.3 ov), 4-96 (Tom Cooper, 10.4 ov), 5-99 (Lewis Gregory, 11.3 ov), 6-102 (Jack Wildermuth, 11.5 ov)
