- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.2 a beauty! A wicked leg-break. Drifted slowly into middle and leg, Hales plays forward, spins sharply and grazes the outside edge 75/43.5 taken at deep point! Warner goes. Used his feet, sliced the drive an open face, went very high and didn't have the distance 36/18.6 direct hit from mid-on! This is tight. Bancroft lost his shape on a drive, Kelly as quickly in. He's confident. And Bancroft is short! 69/29.6 taken at short fine leg! Short outside off, Davies moved outside off to try and scoop, couldn't get it further than the edge of the ring. In fact, Overton may have seen Davies move. Well bowled. 75/315.1 that's very out! Ross misses the sweep, looks to be hitting middle. Ross decides not to review after a chat with Gilkes 107/517.2 full at off stump, carved high into the off side, and taken by mid-off moved back from the edge of the ring. Overton's super night continues 125/618.3 cleaned up! Bravely tossed up, a googly, Green slog sweeps, misses 139/718.4 and another! 86kph, touch shorter, slides through, might have been another wrong 'un, McAndrew swipes over it 139/818.6 dragged on! Three wickets in four balls. Length outside off, Hatcher aiming into the off side, takes the bottom edge 139/919.2 fuller at the stumps, dragged wide of long on...has Tanveer made it back? Strikers don't reckon so. And, yep, he's well short. 140/10Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL140 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 7.24)Fall of wickets: 1-36 (David Warner, 3.5 ov), 2-69 (Cameron Bancroft, 8.6 ov), 3-75 (Oliver Davies, 9.6 ov), 4-75 (Alex Hales, 10.2 ov), 5-107 (Alex Ross, 15.1 ov), 6-125 (Matthew Gilkes, 17.2 ov), 7-139 (Chris Green, 18.3 ov), 8-139 (Nathan McAndrew, 18.4 ov), 9-139 (Liam Hatcher, 18.6 ov), 10-140 (Tanveer Sangha, 19.2 ov)
