- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 taken at deep square leg! That's a super catch. Short of a length into the body, Brown whips away a pull shot, Davies runs in and takes it low to the ground. Did very well to hold that. Brown couldn't pick up from those early sixes 24/113.3 has he got enough of it? No he hasn't. Taken with a flick back at long-on. Munro lofted down the ground without quite enough power, McAndrew knew where the rope was 97/312.2 Sams holds on! Terrific catch. Full at off stump, goes for the slog sweep and can't get the distance. Sams may have misjudged that for a second or two. Did well to hold it low to the ground at deep midwicket 91/218.4 finds deep midwicket...doesn't get enough this, swinging to leg, was in the slot. Sangha doing a terrific job. Heat stalling 137/419.2 pinpoint perfect! The ideal yorker. Straight at the bottom of middle stump. Billings giving himself some room and had no chance 144/618.6 dragged on! Six and out. Well bowled by Sangha. Touch shorter and tighter to off stump, takes a bottom edge into leg stump 143/519.4 takes off stump...gives himself some room, aims through the off side and doesn't connect.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 big appeal, and gone this time! Great piece of bowling. The quicker ball, slides on, catches Bancroft bang in front. Doesn't even ponder the review. Lovely piece of deception from Swepson 51/30.3 edged, taken at slip! Neser on the money, gets Hales first ball. Full outside off, Hales reaches away from his body, gets a thick edge which carries low and is well caught 5/13.1 scoops to short fine leg! Went across outside off, fell over playing the shot, and couldn't get enough on it. An interesting stay from Gilkes 16/213.1 taken at deep cover! A much simpler catch for Neser this time. Davies leans back as he tries to clear the off side, not much pace to work with, ends well short of the rope 80/68.6 what a catch! Michael Neser. Full at the stumps, he whips it high into the leg side, kept shaping away from Neser but he kept his eyes on it and pulled out the full-length dive running from deep midwicket. That's some grab 56/411.5 what a come back! Brilliant again from Swepson. The quicker one does the damage for a second time. Sams caught on the back foot and it skids through him 73/517.5 taken at cover! That's probably it. Short of a length outside off, sliced in the air and Swepson judges it nicely. Didn't go in entirely cleanly! 125/816.4 taken at mid-on! Went a little fuller at the stumps, can't get the elevation, picks out Neser above his head on the ring. A massive dent for Thunder 117/718.5 cleaned up...does the job. Full and straight at 138kph. Hatcher swings and misses 131/918.6 all over! Moves across outside off, attempts to scoop it away and misses.
