    28.6 taken at deep midwicket, at the second attempt! Warner won't reach three figures. Goes for the slog sweep, gets elevation but not the distance this time. Came from close to the bottom of the bat. Bobbles out of Evans' grasp to start with, then bobbled into his chest and he holds the rebound. Phew. 135/8
    4.2 edged to slip and Ngarava gets Finch again! Caught on the back foot with the back of length ball around middle and off with the angle, Finch pokes at it with a slightly angled bat for a thick edge that's taken comfortably at second slip by Ryan Burl 9/1
    5.4 what a leave from Smith, that was probably headed for the stumps! Smith reviews it too as umpire gives him out. Nipping in from just outside off, it tailed in a little late, strikes him just above the knee roll right in front of middle, and that's umpire's call for hitting the stumps, Australia two down. Nyauchi is rewarded for his disciplined bowling even though that was a bizarre leave 10/2
    8.5 edged behind, Australia three down! Carey swings for the second time this over but doesn't survive this time. He comes down the ground for a big swing over mid-on, only manages a thin outside edge and it's a straightforward catch for the keeper. Evans leaps in delight! 31/3
    14.2 a ripper from Evans to beat Stoinis, they think there's an edge, the umpire doesn't, and Zimbabwe review it! A rare legcutter from Evans and not his usual offcutter, pitches right in front of off stump and moves away just a bit, kisses the edge and heads into Chakabva's gloves. There's a spike in Snicko and something on HotSpot too. Stunning delivery from Evans 59/4
    17.6 taken at cover! Another one goes. Lovely bowling. Held back a touch outside off, Green came forward to drive and couldn't keep it down. 72/5
    26.4 big leading edge, taken by the bowler at cover! Huge moment. A delivery on the stumps, Maxwell aiming big over the leg side, flies high into the off side and Burl moves across to steady underneath it 129/6
    26.6 oh boy, would you believe it! A big full toss on the pads and it's been clipped straight to midwicket. That's a horror for Agar 129/7

    30.3 right through him and Burl has his fourth! Tossed up from Burl, it has some dip as well and sneaks under the turning bat to nearly york Start and then knock over top of middle stump, with a slight deflection off the back pad 136/9

    30.6 loud appeal for caught behind but the umpire doesn't think it's out. They review again. Tossed up well outside off, Hazlewood leans forward and into the ball with his bat on the fifth stump line, nothing on UltraEdge but there's a spike on Snicko and that's a fifth for Ryan Burl 141/10

    8.2 edged to slip and good low catch from Smith! Excellent seam position towards first slip for the length ball around off, Kaitano leans into it to defend and gets a thick edge to second slip where Steven Smith dives forward to get both his hands under it nicely 38/1
    18.3 charges down, skewed high in the air, Carey calls it and takes it! A rather headless shot, a huge swing aiming down the ground, goes miles into the air on the off side. Carey always wanted it. Ends up taking it around point 77/5
    10.3 good catch! Agar has held a sharp one at point. Short outside off, was thrashed square of the wicket and held low down. Not sure Agar saw it all the way. That's 100 ODI wickets for Hazlewood 44/2
    10.4 gone first ball! Unplayable short ball from Hazlewood. All Williams can do is fend it up the air behind him, simple catch for Carey. But the review has been called for! Or has it? Actually, not by the looks of it. Williams walking off. Clearly off the glove and it was holding the bat at the time 44/3
    15.4 oh dear, I'm very sorry! The short ball has done for Raza again. Wasn't a full-on bouncer, just above waist height really, goes for the pull, gets a big top edge and it's a comfortable catch at long leg 66/4

    31.2 right through him! Munyonga gets down on a knee to somehow sweep that away to deep midwicket. It's very full for that, and he's nearly yorked to lose his middle and leg stumps 115/6
    36.6 chipped straight to mid-off! And that's also Starc's 200th in ODIs. Has it come too late? Let's see. He continued with his off stump line on length, Burl was playing them patiently but this time he punches it down the ground on the up, and Green takes it comfortably. Burl is disappointed with himself 137/7
