- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 picks out one of the two boundary riders in the Powerplay at deep midwicket! Full on fifth stump, goes to slog sweep this and doesn't get the elevation. McAndrew charges in 15 yards off the rope to take a sharp catch sliding on his knees. 25/116.4 another wide yorker, was way outside the guidelines but Khawaja chases after it and toe-edges a drive that carries low to Gilkes diving to his left. The century stand is broken and Khawaja is denied a century. 153/219.5 full in the slot on sixth stump, miscues a drive over the bowler and Green circles around from long-on covering 25 yards to make an outstanding diving catch. 202/418.4 bullseye! Green darts in a much quicker ball on off stump on a full length as Renshaw misses a reverse sweep with the ball hitting off stump a quarter of the way up. Green runs off and gives a pretty exuberant jumping fist pump over the top celebration for a team now sitting at 185 for 3 in the field with 8 balls left. Renshaw has a few words for him and the two have a brief back and forth verbal spat before Renshaw keeps walking off. 185/319.6 slower ball lands full and wide, stabs this out to deep point, they run one and Hain stops for some reason on the last ball before Peirson keeps running and winds up well short of completing the second by the time the relay comes to the keeper to get the bails off. 203/5Extras7 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL203/5 (20 Overs, RR: 10.15)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Josh Brown, 3.1 ov), 2-153 (Usman Khawaja, 16.4 ov), 3-185 (Matt Renshaw, 18.4 ov), 4-202 (Marnus Labuschagne, 19.5 ov), 5-203 (Jimmy Peirson, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 picks out the man at deep square leg as one of the two boundary riders in the Powerplay. Back of a length on the body, suckered into going for a flat pull. Plenty of power but no elevation on the shot and Gilkes picks out Kuhnemann standing five yards inside the rope and he takes a catch at head height. 17/1Extras4 (b 1, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL52/1 (6.5 Overs, RR: 7.6)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Matthew Gilkes, 2.5 ov)
