- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.4 short and wide on the wide guideline, goes to cut and toe edges this through to the keeper. May have been called a wide had he left it alone. Not Neesham's finest ball but he'll take the wicket. 68/17.5 drags this full and wider on eighth stump, Philippe teased into going for another booming shot but doesn't middle this and skies this to long-off where a catch is taken by Asif Ali at chest height 15 yards inside the rope. 82/27.6 this is more like it from Shadab Khan! After shelling a sitter earlier, he takes a sensational diving catch flinging himself to his right latching on at waist height in front of the stumps. It was full on fourth stump and Henriques tries to flick through the leg side but a leading edge is produced and Shadab atones for the sloppy miss off a skier on his own bowling a few overs earlier. 82/38.3 ball of the century from Dooley nabs Silk for a golden duck in his 100th BBL match! Okay, well not quite but it was quite a beauty. He floats this in on a good length from around the stumps on off stump, Silk goes onto the back foot to flick through midwicket and plays down the wrong line. It spins to straighten and clips the top of off. 83/48.5 fullish length on sixth stump, goes to drive but it straightens a fraction and Christian feathers a thin edge through to Wade who holds onto this well. 84/513.6 full on the stumps, flicked through wide long-on. they complete one but the relay is on target to Meredith over the non-striker's stumps and he gets the bails off to deny a second. 137/6Extras5 (nb 1, w 4)TOTAL137/6 (14 Overs, RR: 9.78)Fall of wickets: 1-68 (Kurtis Patterson, 6.4 ov), 2-82 (Josh Philippe, 7.5 ov), 3-82 (Moises Henriques, 7.6 ov), 4-83 (Jordan Silk, 8.3 ov), 5-84 (Dan Christian, 8.5 ov), 6-137 (Hayden Kerr, 13.6 ov)

Floats this up with more flight on a good length on seventh stump, McDermott's timing is thrown off trying to drive through extra cover and is through the shot a touch early, a bottom edge comes back onto off stump. 32/22.6 bullseye! Fullish length on middle and off stump, Short goes for an almighty heave over midwicket and misses, the ball smacks into middle and off stump three-quarters of the way up. 28/18.2 goes to slog sweep a fullish ball flighted a bit more by Murphy, top edge swirls to deep midwicket, Silk ranges to his right for an easy catch 10 yards in from the rope. 60/39.2 length ball on the wide guideline, shuffles across and carves this flat toward long-off, simple catch taken at waist height 10 yards in from the rope. 66/412.1 short ball on middle, David goes to heave a pull over midwicket but doesn't middle this and it floats to deep midwicket where Silk casually takes a catch jogging in from the rope in stride 15 yards in at chest height. 93/610.3 length ball on seventh stump, chases this with no footwork and a thin edge goes through to Philippe at head height. 73/513.2 slower ball full on off, Asif tries to clear long-on with a big heave but Silk positions himself well at wide midwicket and takes a catch in front of his face while keeping his body just inside the rope. It was about three feet of difference between six and a wicket.
