- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 Maddinson has been very effective at varying his pace and it leads to another wicket here. Slides this on quicker on a good length on middle after flighting a few, Dean goes back to pull but it skids into middle stump underneath a pull. 54/32.1 and strikes first ball! Bowls this from wide of the crease and slants this in full on middle stump, Avendano tries to flick this through midwicket but a leading edge floats back to Maddinson above his head and he leaps to pluck it moving a touch to his left. 13/16.2 Maddinson flights this a touch more on a good length on fourth stump, Wakim takes a step out to drive through the off side but the ball grips and turns a touch and a thin edge is juggled before being held on during the second effort by Harper. 43/29.5 short on fifth stump, Maxwell sucked into a trap pulling to deep square leg. Harvey charges hard off the rope and takes a sharp catch diving forward about 20 yards in from the rope. 61/419.1 short on the stumps, slams a pull flat to deep backward square. Absolutely smoked but he picks out Harvey who takes this with a bunny hop reaching above his head and landing a yard inside the rope. Five yards either side and it's six. 117/911.5 full on middle at 131 kph, chips this slightly loosely and low to midwicket, sharp catch taken at ankle height. 68/513.3 full on fifth stump, ball holds up a touch and O'Connell is through the shot a touch early spooning a drive high over extra cover. Shaun Marsh runs back from the ring and takes a superb over the shoulder catch. 72/616.6 slower ball on a good length on sixth stump, Qais is finally put out of his misery slicing a drive high over extra cover on the ring. Marsh settles under this on the ring and pouches a simple catch to complete an extraordinary Power Surge wicket maiden for Richardson. 99/718.2 cutter angled across fourth stump at 123 kph, Couch tries to guide this to deep third man but the timing is off and a thin edge barely carries to the keeper. 109/819.6 slower yorker on off stump, heaves for the leg side and misses, the bails light up. 126/10Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL126 all out (20 Overs, RR: 6.3)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Justin Avendano, 2.1 ov), 2-43 (Charlie Wakim, 6.2 ov), 3-54 (Travis Dean, 8.3 ov), 4-61 (Glenn Maxwell, 9.5 ov), 5-68 (Patrick Rowe, 11.5 ov), 6-72 (Tom O'Connell, 13.3 ov), 7-99 (Qais Ahmad, 16.6 ov), 8-109 (Brody Couch, 18.2 ov), 9-117 (Hilton Cartwright, 19.1 ov), 10-126 (Haris Rauf, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 charges again but is beaten in flight and turn by a ball dragged wider outside off. Brief juggle by the debutant keeper Rowe but Harvey is a long way down the track so Rowe still has plenty of time to gather and get the bails off. 10/111.6 waist high full toss that Finch tries to muscle over long-on, Haris Rauf backpedals to take this off balance just inside the rope at long-on, has to flick this up in the air before he falls over the rope but takes it back on the rebound. Third umpire is having a look to see if he stepped on the rope. It is literally just the rope where Haris took the catch very straight on the line. If he was five yards wider, the foam triangle would be in play and make it so much clearer. This looks out. Trick photography though may convince the third umpire he's seeing something which isn't actually there. It is given out in the end. Finch isn't happy, though it's unclear if that's because he's mistimed a waist high full toss or if he thinks Rauf stepped on the rope. 90/49.1 slower ball short on the hips at 118 kph, top edge pull sails toward deep fine leg. Couch charges in 25 yards off the rope and takes the catch sliding on his knees. 73/211.1 flighted full on leg stump, Maddinson goes to sweep and misses. He's hit on the knee roll in front of middle. Big appeal and given. Only question was whether or not it pitched in line with the stumps but looked good live and replays don't indicate otherwise. 87/312.2 gem! Good length ball jags back and beats Nabi playing a flat-footed poke away from his body, slight inside edge back onto the stumps. 91/5Extras7 (lb 2, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL129/5 (18 Overs, RR: 7.16)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Sam Harper, 1.5 ov), 2-73 (Shaun Marsh, 9.1 ov), 3-87 (Nic Maddinson, 11.1 ov), 4-90 (Aaron Finch, 11.6 ov), 5-91 (Mohammad Nabi, 12.2 ov)
