- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.1 advances down the ground, pre-meditates it, and the bowler drags the length back. Dean tries to clumsily pull and chips it towards mid-on off the toe-end 22/115.5 comes down the track and Kelly has gone through Weatherald's defence. Tries to drill it through the leg side but it's full and pacy and he yorks himself. Loss his leg stump as a result 94/47.2 slower short of a length, walks a mile across outside off and tries to heave a pull. That's the wrong line to be attempting that shot with the ball climbing into him. Gets an edge to the keeper 42/213.2 backs away early and Bresnan takes it away from him. He is forced to reach out for it and he ends up chipping it into the hands of third man 68/318.5 and the bowler hits back now. Gee, what an over this has been. This one's full and right on the money at the stumps. Carey swings big for a heave over the leg side, misses, and the ball crashes into the stumps 126/518.6 and he strikes again. Oh, what a turnaround. Two in two after being hit for two boundaries. The last one was to a big hit over the leg side. Here, Neser's looking for a big shot over the off side. Misses and the ball crashes into the stumps 126/6Extras3 (lb 2, w 1)TOTAL137/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.85)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Jono Dean, 4.1 ov), 2-42 (Colin Ingram, 7.2 ov), 3-68 (Jonathan Wells, 13.2 ov), 4-94 (Jake Weatherald, 15.5 ov), 5-126 (Alex Carey, 18.5 ov), 6-126 (Michael Neser, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.5 oh, dear! Whiteman was in some hurry and he's played one stroke too many. But to be fair to him, this is a stunning catch. A blinder, make no mistake about. Whiteman clips a fuller offering behind square and Stanlake takes a brilliant catch at short fine leg. Whiteman cannot believe it 8/13.3 and next ball he falls. Klinger has picked out short midwicket. A good length delivery that he flicks with ample lots of timing but straight into the hands of midwicket 25/215.4 oh, gone right through! What a delivery! There's the breakthrough they were looking for. And it's Rashid Khan - who else - that steps to the fore. A beautifully tossed up googly drawing the batsman forward and spinning past the inside edge to clatter into the stumps. Crucial breakthrough but is it too late? 105/54.5 jeez, short midwicket's getting some generous catching practice tonight. Slightly shortish and he rocks back to pull. Hits it straight into his hands. Scorchers now need to be careful 28/34.6 plumb! That looked dead out from the moment he was hit on the pad. Googly that spins in from a good length that drew him forward. Beats the inside edge and raps him in front of middle and leg. 4 for 28. In a shambles 28/418.2 now he gets a short ball, one that tucks him up. A pacy one and Agar is rushed into a pull that he gloves to the keeper who takes it after running to his right 124/6Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL141/6 (19.3 Overs, RR: 7.23)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Sam Whiteman, 0.5 ov), 2-25 (Michael Klinger, 3.3 ov), 3-28 (Hilton Cartwright, 4.5 ov), 4-28 (Ashton Turner, 4.6 ov), 5-105 (Cameron Bancroft, 15.4 ov), 6-124 (Ashton Agar, 18.2 ov)
