- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 slog sweep picks out a boundary rider in the Powerplay. Gilkes' poor run to start this season continues. Fullish length ball on middle, doesn't try to keep this sweep down and Fraser-McGurk is stationed at deep square leg for a basic catch at thigh height taken crouching 10 yards in from the rope. 16/14.4 good length ball on sixth stump, Hales attacks the width but does so flat-footed and a thick edge is well held by Harper. 23/214.3 slower length ball on the guideline again outside off, tries to heave this over the leg side but the width produces a top edge swirling over point and a simple catch taken on the ring. 112/58.4 fullish length on sixth stump, attacks the width but miscues this flubbing a drive to mid-off on the ring. Sutherland judges this well diving forward and takes a sharp catch at shin height a few yards in from the edge of the ring. 52/39.1 good length ball on fourth stump, skews a drive toward Finch at short extra cover, who dives forward and latches on but doesn't exactly claim this as a clean catch. He doesn't celebrate but the umpire will refer it to be reviewed anyway. Replays show this carried to Finch. Maybe he was just playing it super cool. But there's no doubt on this being out. 57/418.2 slower fullish length ball on the wide guideline, miscues a skied drive and it carries easily to wide long-off, who lunges forward to take a catch 10 yards in from the rope. 154/6Extras9 (b 4, lb 2, w 3)TOTAL174/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.7)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Matthew Gilkes, 2.5 ov), 2-23 (Alex Hales, 4.4 ov), 3-52 (Jason Sangha, 8.4 ov), 4-57 (Daniel Sams, 9.1 ov), 5-112 (Rilee Rossouw, 14.3 ov), 6-154 (Alex Ross, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 outswinger on a fullish length on sixth stump, goes for a flick trying to go over midwicket, leading edge floats over mid-off for a simple catch taken by Hales shuffling to his left on the ring. 0/111.1 short on the stumps, yanks a pull straight to deep midwicket. Basic catch for Green at waist height taken five yards in from the rope. 90/34.2 short and wide, sucker ball on eighth stump that Fraser-McGurk goes to cut and instead feathers an edge through to the keeper. 41/214.2 woof! Back of a length ball on fourth stump, Wells goes back to pull and the ball shoots horrible low hitting him on the shins. Big lbw shout upheld. Wells has a chat with Finch before calling for a review. Main doubt was whether he was hit in line with off stump or not. But it was definitely hitting the stumps. Ball-tracking shows contact as umpire's call with the ball taking out off stump. Decision upheld. 115/416.1 Sams reels in the whale! Full on fourth stump, goes for a booming drive and miscues this flat to mid-on on the ring, simple catch by Hales tumbling forward for a shin high take. 127/519.1 full and wide, skies a drive that floats safely to Davies on the ring at extra cover backpedaling from the ring. 164/6Extras9 (lb 1, w 8)TOTAL175/6 (19.5 Overs, RR: 8.82)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Sam Harper, 0.3 ov), 2-41 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 4.2 ov), 3-90 (Nic Maddinson, 11.1 ov), 4-115 (Jonathan Wells, 14.2 ov), 5-127 (Andre Russell, 16.1 ov), 6-164 (Akeal Hosein, 19.1 ov)
