- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.1 taken at midwicket! Back of a length, swings across the line and picks out David on the ring. Couldn't have picked him out better 22/296201501.3 terrific comeback! Dwarshuis goes through him. Straightens the line, fuller at middle and leg, Hope playing across it, gets an inside edge, and is cleaned up 14/14.4 Maxwell takes this one! Full at the stumps, Carty aiming to go over the on side, gets height but no distance. Maxwell moves to his right from mid-on and grabs it safely. Normal service resumed 32/37.4 he's done it! Slides on at the stumps, Rutherford aiming too square through the off side, smashes into middle stump. Nicely bowled by Maxwell, iffy shot selection by Rutherford 64/416.5 brilliant catch from Abbott running in at long-off! Dwarshuis finally gets one right, a wide short slower ball, Hetmyer tries to go up and over the off side but gets it off the toe of the bat, it floats towards long-off and Abbott does a sensational job to sprint in and take the catch diving forward 155/712.3 caught behind! Abbott strikes. Back of a length, into the surface over middle, he tries to give room to muscle down the ground and gets a little edge through to the keeper 111/5880110014.3 bowled him! Pace on does him! After the slower ball he fires full and straight, skidding through between bat and pad as he tries to swipe over midwicket. It crashes into off stump 123/617.2 skied straight up to cover! Great skill from Ellis. Back of the hand slower ball angled across the right-hander, out of the hitting arc, he was down on one knee to try and slog sweep and skied it straight up to cover. Simple catch for Marsh 157/818.1 The gamble pays! Clean bowled! Leg break tossed up on off, he stays leg side to try and loft down the ground, it spins past the edge and flattens off stump! 159/919.4 Ellis completes a superb run out in his follow through! Yorker length, it's squeezed out and drops on the popping crease, Ellis sprints through in his follow through, collects and dives full stretch, Jonty Rhodes style to flick it onto the stumps at the striker's end and he beat Hosein easily 170/10Extras4 (lb 2, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL170 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 8.64)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Shai Hope, 1.3 ov), 2-22 (Brandon King, 3.1 ov), 3-32 (Keacy Carty, 4.4 ov), 4-64 (Sherfane Rutherford, 7.4 ov), 5-111 (Jason Holder, 12.3 ov), 6-123 (Romario Shepherd, 14.3 ov), 7-155 (Shimron Hetmyer, 16.5 ov), 8-157 (Matthew Forde, 17.2 ov), 9-159 (Alzarri Joseph, 18.1 ov), 10-170 (Akeal Hosein, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.2 what a ball! Through him. That's a cracker. Back of a length, nips back towards off stump, zips past the inside edge and takes off stump. That is a beauty 25/31.1 edged, taken on the rebound! Full outside off, Maxwell goes for a big drive, it carries to Blades at short third. The ball bobbles out but he holds his nerve and takes it at the second attempt. 12/11.6 taken at mid-on! A second in the over. Full at the stumps, Inglis on-drives it in the air, perhaps a fraction early on the shot, and finds the fielder 23/211.6 Forde hangs on at long-off! This is a huge wicket! Tossed up outside off, Green tries to launch straight and gets under it, it hangs in the air for an age, Forde comes in and takes two bites but hangs on 141/64.4 he's gone! Excellent catch. Touch fuller, angling into David, he looks to clear the leg side again but can't get the elevation. Hetmyer makes good ground to his left, holds it while sliding 60/49.2 top edge to short third! Well bowled by Hosein. Slower, higher, wider, Owen tries to reach out and drag it straight, he gets a thick top edge that floats to short third and it's an easy catch 123/515.6 skied straight up to cover! Dwarshuis tries to end it with one hit and falls. From around the wicket, he drifts this across to off and Dwarshuis tries to slog sweep against the angle and gets a top edge that flies straight up. Easy catch at cover 166/7Extras8 (nb 1, w 7)TOTAL173/7 (17 Overs, RR: 10.17)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Glenn Maxwell, 1.1 ov), 2-23 (Josh Inglis, 1.6 ov), 3-25 (Mitchell Marsh, 2.2 ov), 4-60 (Tim David, 4.4 ov), 5-123 (Mitchell Owen, 9.2 ov), 6-141 (Cameron Green, 11.6 ov), 7-166 (Ben Dwarshuis, 15.6 ov)
