- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.5 what a catch! That was short and swung out to deep midwicket. Marshall, running towards the rope, leaps, takes cleanly, then tiptoes along the boundary rope, just inches inside. He keeps his balance and that's a key breakthrough 72/25.6 in the slot and slapped down the ground, but not enough bat on it, and the home boy has a debut wicket! 57/18.2 another slower ball, and Hussey is onto that far too quickly. A spiralling top-edge and Perkins at midwicket judges it well 72/3Extras5 (lb 2, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL97/3 (11 Overs, RR: 8.81)Fall of wickets: 1-57 (Luke Ronchi, 5.6 ov), 2-72 (Shaun Marsh, 7.5 ov), 3-72 (David Hussey, 8.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 what a pity. Marshall attempted an improvised paddle, and over-committed himself as the shot went wrong. Watson swooped to field, and threw down the stumps with the batsman stranded 53/14.6 tip-and-run, and that's suicidal. Ponting dives at mid-off, and releases the ball almost before he's gathered it. Perkins goes, but he's done his job. 59/25.3 the wickets are coming a bit readily now. Ramdin makes room to thump over cover, but Johnson makes good ground at mid-off and completes a neat low catch. 64/3Extras15 (b 6, lb 2, w 7)TOTAL102/3 (9.1 Overs, RR: 11.12)Fall of wickets: 1-53 (Xavier Marshall, 3.3 ov), 2-59 (William Perkins, 4.6 ov), 3-64 (Denesh Ramdin, 5.3 ov)
