- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 Oh no, he's played that straight to short third! That was a bit of a nothing shot! This is short of good length around off, cramping Munsey for room. He opens the face and looks to cut but was maybe also beaten by the extra bounce. Ends up spooning it to Head for some catching practice 52/22.2 Chopped on! Hardie bowls it on a length around middle and off, and there's not enough width as Hairs swings across the line. Flies off the inside edge onto the stumps and Australia have their first breakthrough 18/116.4 short, angling in towards off stump, and that's a terrific bit of improvisation, only for Travis Head to appear in the ball's path and pluck it out of midair. Steps across and plays a falling, over-the-shoulder scoop, and he times it brilliantly as well, but Head steps to his right at short fine leg and times his jump perfectly to grab it with his left hand stretched high over his head. Takes his cap off to the crowd after completing the catch too 138/68.1 And Green goes through Berrington! Full length delivery outside off jags back in to go through the gap between bat and pad and clips the top of the stumps. Beautiful from Green and Scotland lose their captain 67/311.1 and Cross departs. Zampa is a hard man to make room to and try to hit square, because he attacks the stumps so much. This isn't short enough for the chop through point, and he's exposed all his stumps. Skids through with the angle and takes out leg stump 82/413.4 another straight pull, but this time Abbott hit the pitch a bit harder and got it to bounce significantly higher. Similar line outside off, but this time he doesn't get on top of the ball and David takes an excellent catch diving forward at long-on 112/519.2 another slower ball, into the pitch outside off, and this time Watt sets himself up back in his crease, clears his front leg, and swings it high into the leg side. Doesn't connect as cleanly as he'd like, though, and Fraser-McGurk, running to his left from long-on, takes a good sliding catch, just about avoiding a collision with Abbott coming the other way from deep midwicket 146/917.3 full slower ball on off stump, and the change of pace does for Jarvis. Too early into his attempted hit over mid-off or cover, and it balloons high in the air for Marsh to get under at extra-cover, well inside the circle 143/718.5 bowled him. Length ball angling into off stump, skids through to knock the stump out of its moorings after Sole clears his front leg and misses the swing across the line 146/8Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL149/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.45)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Ollie Hairs, 2.2 ov), 2-52 (George Munsey, 5.4 ov), 3-67 (Richie Berrington, 8.1 ov), 4-82 (Matthew Cross, 11.1 ov), 5-112 (Michael Leask, 13.4 ov), 6-138 (Brandon McMullen, 16.4 ov), 7-143 (Jack Jarvis, 17.3 ov), 8-146 (Chris Sole, 18.5 ov), 9-146 (Mark Watt, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 Head loses his wicket to Currie for the second time in two days! This is full outside off and Head looks to slog it down the ground. He ends up skying it and George Munsey settles under it around long-on. A big fist pump from Currie, who has once again got rid of Australia's openers in his first two overs! 18/21.2 Oh, what a blinder! McMullen won't stop being a menace to Australia! This is a length ball on off going across Fraser-McGurk who slaps it away behind point. McMullen flies to his left at backward point and grabs it low and holds on. The excellent fielding on display today continues! 2/19.2 Chopped on! Jack Jarvis is delighted as the Aussie skipper departs. This is a length ball outside off that holds in the surface. Marsh was looking to drag it on the leg side but ends up dragging it onto the stumps! 79/314.2 and there's a wicket. Sole goes short and off-pace, and David pulls in the air, picks out the man out at deep backward square leg 131/4Extras12 (b 1, lb 1, w 10)TOTAL153/4 (16.1 Overs, RR: 9.46)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 1.2 ov), 2-18 (Travis Head, 3.2 ov), 3-79 (Mitchell Marsh, 9.2 ov), 4-131 (Tim David, 14.2 ov)
