    4.5 cleaned him up! Lovely bowling. A googly tossed up, dips and spins in just enough, Finch plays all around it with the drive. The captain didn't look in great touch today 30/1
    14.2 pinned lbw! McDermott reviews but he took too long! He was way too long. It was plumb anyway. Full and tailing in a touch, it beats the inside edge as he tries to whip square and it hits the back leg infront of middle and leg. Ball tracking had it smashing middle and leg 107/5
    10.3 bowled him! Yorker hits the base of off! Inglis took the wrong option to a full yorker on off, tried to reverse sweep and it crashed into off! 80/2
    11.4 full toss hoicked straight to deep backward square! A shin high floaty full toss that could have been hit to Randwick and he got it off the toe and picks out the man on the rope! He still nearly got enough but he holes out 90/3
    13.5 bowled him! Wrong un again! Another very full wrong un on off, he tried to whip it through forward square and played all over it and lost his off stump! 105/4
    17.4 chopped on! He's on a hat-trick! Yorker outside off, pitching on the popping crease, he tried to jam it out through cover, he gets an inside edge and it splays middle and off! Huge wicket 141/7
    17.3 stunning catch at deep point! The skipper Shanaka takes a screamer! Low full toss outside off, Wade creams a square drive low to deep point, the skipper runs forward and drives full length at full extension and plucks it clean! 141/6
    18.5 holes out to long on! Shin high full toss outside off, he swings hard but is off balance and miscues to long on, Karunaratne sits under it and takes a good catch 145/9
    18.3 bowled trying to lap scoop! Back of a length, at the top of off, Starc steps inside the line to lap it fine and is beaten for pace! It crashes into the top of off! 144/8

    10.2 holes out to wide long on! Good catch by Starc. Nissanka makes a mistake trying to go with the slog sweep again but Zampa's length is much better, it's outside off as well, he gets a top edge that flies high to wide long on, Starc has to run in a fair way but he holds on well sliding on his knees. 64/3
    1.6 full at off stump, heaved to midwicket! Hazlewood back in the T20 wickets. The early dot balls do their work. Gunathilaka cleared the front leg, the bat twisted in his hand and couldn't get any timing. Neat low catch 3/1
    3.3 straight up in the air this time, and well taken by Wade! That went miles into the night sky. Went for the pull, got a big top edge backward of square. Wade does very well to judge that towards short fine leg. 21/2
    10.4 picks out Smith at deep square! Great catch tight-walking the rope. Tossed up on middle, he tries to lunch with the spin over square leg, he didn't quite get it out of the middle, it carried all the way to the rope and Smith running along the rope takes it above his head and runs inside the rope without issue 64/4
    14.3 sliced to cover! Beautifully bowled. Tossed up outside off, some dip and spin, he tries to loft but wipes across the line and slices it off the outside half of the bat and it to floats to Smith at cover on the circle 89/5
    15.1 skied to mid off! Good length, top of off, he tried to loft over mid off but the extra bounce causes the miscue and he gets under it, Finch camps under it at mid off and takes the catch easily 89/6

    15.4 caught and bowled! Hazlewood does well moving forward. Back of a length, climbing at Karunaratne, he is squared up, gets a leading edge that lobs back towards the big quick and he does well to pouch it safely as he rolls forward 90/7
    17.1 skied to square leg and McDermott takes it well! Hazlewood has four! Short bumper, he tried to pull, gets a top edge that flies straight up to square leg, McDermott comes across from midwicket and takes a very assured catch 104/8
