- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 length ball on off, tries to heave this over the leg side but gets under this too much and combined with the fact that the boundary is much much deeper on that side of the ground, it hangs up for Cartwright 10 yards inside the rope at deep square leg who takes the catch on his haunches. 23/16.1 bullseye! Charge down the track trying to relieve the pressure building, but instead just runs past a googly, swinging wildly and getting nothing as the ball crashes into the top of middle. 40/33.1 fullish length on the stumps, Lynn charges and tries to clobber this down the ground but miscues this high to mid-off on the ring. Simple catch at head height on the ring taken by Coulter-Nile. 25/214.5 screamer taken by Webster at extra cover! Fullish length ball follows Hose backing away from leg stump, he tries to go inside out over the off side but Webster does his best salmon leap going to his right and plucks this at chest height parallel to the ground. 85/58.5 length ball on the body, tries to heave this over the leg side but is hustled for pace and top edges this to mid-on on the ring. Easy catch for Webster at head height. 56/416.4 bullseye! Full on off, shuffles way across to sweep and misses. The ball crashed into off stump. 104/714.6 back of a length on fourth stump, goes back to defend and is beaten. Big appeal for caught behind denied but they go for a review. Ultraedge shows a spike and the decision is overturned to out. NCN has finished his spell so there will be no hat-trick ball. 85/619.1 short on the stumps, pulls this out to deep square leg, picks out the man 10 yards in from the rope. 108/917.2 full on the stumps, shovels this drive high toward long-off and it carries to the fielder charging in 15 yards off the rope for a sharp effort taken diving forward. 105/819.2 bullseye! Direct hit at the non-striker's end from extra cover! Siddle slaps his first ball to the man on the ring trying to get off the mark but he charges in and fires at the base of the stumps from 15 yards to catch Siddle five yards short. 108/10Extras6 (b 1, lb 2, w 3)TOTAL108 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 5.58)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Matthew Short, 1.5 ov), 2-25 (Chris Lynn, 3.1 ov), 3-40 (Ryan Gibson, 6.1 ov), 4-56 (Thomas Kelly, 8.5 ov), 5-85 (Adam Hose, 14.5 ov), 6-85 (Ben Manenti, 14.6 ov), 7-104 (Harry Nielsen, 16.4 ov), 8-105 (Wes Agar, 17.2 ov), 9-108 (Cameron Boyce, 19.1 ov), 10-108 (Peter Siddle, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 full on middle, driven firmly to mid-on, perhaps too firmly to take on the run safely. The fielder on the ring scoops and fires a direct hit at the non-striker's end. The ball looks like it made contact with the bat on the line, not over it. Out! 77/1Extras7 (w 7)TOTAL109/1 (14.3 Overs, RR: 7.51)Fall of wickets: 1-77 (Joe Clarke, 9.3 ov)
