- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 full on fourth stump, checks a drive and shovels this tamely to mid-off on the ring. Basic catch at head height by Ellis after shuffling 10 yards to his right. 55/18.6 knee high full toss on middle and leg stump, Smith waves over the top of this and misses. Big lbw shout upheld. Smith has a chat before deciding to review this. Of all the deliveries to deny Smith's quest for three centuries in a row, who'd have thought a meatball of a full toss would be the magic ball?! Replays show it going past a leg side flick thudding into the knee roll and ball-tracking confirms three red lights. Extraordinary sequence. 87/213.4 good length ball on fourth stump, Patterson pushes at this and gets a very healthy edge through to Wade at waist height. 112/510.1 half-tracker pulled toward deep square leg, Kerr tries to smash this but doesn't elevate it high enough for six, nor does he keep it along the ground and a superb catch is taken by the fielder diving to his right 10 yards inside the rope after tracking 15 yards laterally. 91/312.6 length ball on off stump, pulls this toward McDermott at deep square leg. This time not nearly as dramatic a catch as his previous effort. Just a simple top edge that holds up to him jogging in stride 15 yards in from the rope taking this at chest height reaching forward. 106/414.5 back of a length on fifth stump, goes back to cut and gets a thin edge held by Wade. 121/617.5 full on off, backs away from leg stump trying to go inside out over cover but winds up skying this to cover on the ring for a basic catch with hands in front of his face. 155/7Extras10 (nb 2, w 8)TOTAL180/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9)Fall of wickets: 1-55 (Josh Philippe, 5.4 ov), 2-87 (Steven Smith, 8.6 ov), 3-91 (Hayden Kerr, 10.1 ov), 4-106 (Dan Christian, 12.6 ov), 5-112 (Kurtis Patterson, 13.4 ov), 6-121 (Jordan Silk, 14.5 ov), 7-155 (Ben Dwarshuis, 17.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 slower ball full on leg stump, skies a flick to deep backward square leg. The fielder calls off deep fine leg who was circling around too. Easy catch taken reaching in front of the body at waist height five yards in from the rope. 26/22.2 full and wide, drives at this and it sounded like a thin edge through to the keeper. No wide called. Diving take by Philippe, but given not out. Sixers call for a review. Bat did not look like it scuffed the ground as it was above the ground when the sound happened. Indeed Ultraedge shows a spike when the ball passes the bat. McDermott has been given out on review. 18/116.6 Crawley holes out to deep midwicket one short of a half-century. Length ball on sixth stump, shuffled across and whacks this high but not very deep and is caught at chest height five yards inside the rope. 131/67.1 full on sixth stump, charges and drives this in the air flat to the cover sweeper, who takes a catch at head height two yards in from the rope. Fielder is there to cutoff twos but he's wound up bagging a wicket. 52/311.1 length ball on fourth stump, tries to muscle this over deep midwicket but doesn't middle this and picks out Silk charging in from the rope, who takes a superb diving catch 15 yards in. 87/415.2 bullseye! Yorker speared in toward middle and leg stump and beats Short's attempt to flick this through midwicket. 123/517.6 bouncer on fifth stump, pulls this toward deep midwicket but Silk ranges 15 yards to his left and takes a sliding catch that is about par for the course for his standards. 133/718.5 yorker on off stump, jammed to long-on for a very tight two. The third umpire has a look and replays show that in fact Paris didn't make the ground coming back for the second before Kerr took the bails off. 141/8Extras7 (b 1, lb 1, w 5)TOTAL156/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.8)Did not bat: RP MeredithFall of wickets: 1-18 (Ben McDermott, 2.2 ov), 2-26 (Caleb Jewell, 3.3 ov), 3-52 (Matthew Wade, 7.1 ov), 4-87 (Tim David, 11.1 ov), 5-123 (D'Arcy Short, 15.2 ov), 6-131 (Zak Crawley, 16.6 ov), 7-133 (Faheem Ashraf, 17.6 ov), 8-141 (Joel Paris, 18.5 ov)
