- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 caught behind! This climbed off a length steeply and shaped back. Stoinis tried to cut but was too close to it and it just brushed his glove through to Philippe! Huge breakthrough. 3/12.1 He might have been stumped! Clarke just overbalanced and Philippe whips them off! This was tossed up, good length, lures Clarke to reach for a drive, it spins sharply past the edge and he just dragged his toe out and Philippe had the bails off in a flash! 6/28.4 chopped on! Christian strikes. Back of a length, fourth stump line, it skids through a touch, he tried to pull but it wasn't a committed stroke, more of a paddle pull and he got a bottom edge onto the stumps 59/318.5 full length on sixth stump at 141 kph, Maxwell miscues this off the toe and it flutters to extra cover on the ring for a simple catch. But not before he's collected 103 and dug his side out of a huge hole from a sloppy Powerplay. 162/517.1 slower ball yorker, Cartwright is through a leg-side heave a touch early and middle stump is knocked back. 144/4Extras9 (b 1, lb 5, w 3)TOTAL177/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.85)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Marcus Stoinis, 1.1 ov), 2-6 (Joe Clarke, 2.1 ov), 3-59 (Nick Larkin, 8.4 ov), 4-144 (Hilton Cartwright, 17.1 ov), 5-162 (Glenn Maxwell, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 holes out to midwicket! Back of a length on off, he tries to pull and gets a decent piece of it but hits it flat straight to midwicket and Webster takes the catch on the circle 30/19.6 Plumb lbw! Quality response from Zampa! Henriques went back to the wrong length, it was quicker and fuller, pitching on middle and skidding on straight, Henriques was hit on the back pad infront of middle. Huge wicket 84/213.1 back of a length on fourth stump, climbs on Hughes trying to turn this into the leg side but a leading edge balloons up into short extra cover and Couch charges forward in his follow-through to lunge forward for an athletic take. 116/3Extras9 (lb 5, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL182/3 (19.4 Overs, RR: 9.25)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (James Vince, 3.5 ov), 2-84 (Moises Henriques, 9.6 ov), 3-116 (Daniel Hughes, 13.1 ov)
