- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 gottim, juggling take behind the stumps! Just a feather on it as Clarke tried to come down. Philippe got a glove on it and managed to parry the ball up for a second attempt behind him. Would have been a missed stumping chance if Clarke hadn't edged it 34/111.5 hacked in the air, Jordan clings on brilliantly! There's no power in the toe-ended slog sweep, as the ball slaps off the toe of the bat, and Jordan at mid-on hurtles in to scoop the ball up inches from the turf... but hang on, the umpires have given a soft signal of not out! "That's clean as..." says
the third umpireBrett Lee over the commentary feed. And the wicket stays! 94/214.1 panned out to deep midwicket, Silk snaffles the head-high catch! Back of a length, Cartwright swings into a low pull, but doesn't connect cleanly. Timely strike 107/319.2 hoisted up and over point, but not enough power! Opens the face for another off-side carve, Christian jogs back to gather over his shoulder. The end of a mighty knock 166/419.5 huge hack across the line, can't connect cleanly, holes out to deep midwicket. Webster's scratchy knock is done, and Abbott is putting a lid on this innings now 171/5Extras10 (b 1, lb 1, w 8)TOTAL173/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.65)Fall of wickets: 1-34 (Joe Clarke, 4.3 ov), 2-94 (Thomas Rogers, 11.5 ov), 3-107 (Hilton Cartwright, 14.1 ov), 4-166 (Marcus Stoinis, 19.2 ov), 5-171 (Beau Webster, 19.5 ov)Bowling O M R W Econ 0s 4s 6s WD NB SA Abbott 4 0 31 3 7.75 9 3 1 0 0 T Murphy 4 0 22 1 5.50 8 0 1 0 0 H Kerr 3 0 32 0 10.66 4 4 1 1 0 Izharulhaq Naveed 4 0 31 1 7.75 6 1 1 1 0 DT Christian 1 0 11 0 11.00 1 1 0 1 0 CJ Jordan 4 0 44 0 11.00 5 5 1 5 0

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 full and wide, toe-ended to mid-off! Philippe has been swinging and swiping and finally comes a-cropper... The ball was perhaps shaping away as he reached for a cross-batted hoick and sent a dolly to Kellaway on the edge of the ring. He was turning to walk even before the catch was taken 45/112.1 round the wicket, makes room to leg, slams the drive... straight at short cover! Kellaway is nearly blown off his feet by the power, and hurts his finger in the process, but clings on well at the second attempt for a priceless breakthrough. Looks like it's taken his nail off. Ouch 94/215.4 swiped through the full length, high to mid-on! Henriques was through his stroke too soon, three men converged as the ball went nowhere, but Rogers calls loudest to end a handy cameo. A moment of hesitation as Boult seemed the closest, but he was running back so mid-on rightly took the duties 128/319.4 bangs in the bouncer, can't connect... but as they sprint the single, Wood gathers the shy from the keeper and under-arms into the stumps... it's a combined review, as Sixers reckon there was a nick on the attempted uppercut! Sure enough, there is a spike on Snicko! We have a dramatic finish brewing now! But hang on, Vince is protesting ... about the height maybe, clearly above head height in his normal stance... or is it the fact that the picture and the snick don't align on the replays. Should it have been a no-ball? It's academic now. Don't even know if it was a successful run-out attempt, but it matters not now 172/4Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL176/4 (19.5 Overs, RR: 8.87)Fall of wickets: 1-45 (Josh Philippe, 5.2 ov), 2-94 (Daniel Hughes, 12.1 ov), 3-128 (Moises Henriques, 15.4 ov), 4-172 (Jordan Silk, 19.4 ov)
