- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.6 chopped on. He's been trying to manufacture something out of nothing for a while now. Was very effective on a couple of occasions but not this time. This one's by far the closest to him and his bid to get cheeky and open the face very late towards third man results in an inside edge 41/118.2 short, stays leg side of it and slaps. Skews it off the toe-end in the air and George Bailey at deep cover settles under it. Walks off to a rousing ovation.. He's inflicted quite some damage on the opposition with that century 181/2Extras11 (b 2, lb 2, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL202/2 (20 Overs, RR: 10.1)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Alex Carey, 4.6 ov), 2-181 (Jake Weatherald, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.5 nearly shaves off-stump. But, wait, there's been an edge. Another short ball, he's expecting this to spin back into him but it comes on dead straight with the arm outside off. Nicks through to the keeper 6/116.6 and hes nicked off. Is that the game? The well-set, in-form D'Arcy Short has perished to an edge to the keeper. Full, wide, comes in late to find the inside edge as he stays rooted to the crease and slashes 145/410.2 full on middle and leg, tries to mow it over cow corner but doesn't get underneath it entirely. Chips it in the air and long-on runs to his right and snaffles it 87/214.5 Siddle appeals confidently for a leg before and gets it in his favour. After some deliberation. Seemed like it may head down leg as McDermott missed this hoick over the leg side. That's what the angle looked like anyway but the umpire thinks otherwise 120/317.1 full, wide, reaches out and gets an inside edge to the left of the keeper 145/5Extras11 (lb 8, w 3)TOTAL177/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.85)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Tim Paine, 0.5 ov), 2-87 (George Bailey, 10.2 ov), 3-120 (Ben McDermott, 14.5 ov), 4-145 (D'Arcy Short, 16.6 ov), 5-145 (Matthew Wade, 17.1 ov)
