- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 Four dots and gone. Skewered to backward point Slot ball but on middle and Allen went too far leg side to launch the shin-high full ball over mid-on and outside edged it low to Swepson 0/18.6 Skied... and taken off mid-on. This may have drifted away and Hurst stayed still and tried to clobber it over the bowler. Top edge only took it up 62/214.3 Skied... Keeper runs back, settles while facing the sightscreen but turns left last second to take it around chest-height. Connolly tried to clear the infield with the Surge on, cleared the front leg and went for a cross-bat swipe to the hard-length ball. Johnson has 2 for 4 off 15 balls 93/315.4 Kuhnemann goes short, 103ks, and is rewarded. He aimed for leg stump as Hardie made room, an edged pull went straight to long-on 103/418.5 Pull skied. Three back on the leg side and deep fine leg takes this one. Turner cleared the front leg and lined himself to cut the angle with a flat pull. Got it off the top edge 141/518.6 Swatted so very well, yet it's straight to deep square leg. Johnson finishes with the first four-for of this edition. Was a fullish ball on leg stump, Agar was on off with feet bent a bit. He picked it up flat in the air, might've wanted to go squarer 141/6Extras7 (lb 4, w 3)TOTAL165/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.25)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Finn Allen, 0.5 ov), 2-62 (Matty Hurst, 8.6 ov), 3-93 (Cooper Connolly, 14.3 ov), 4-103 (Aaron Hardie, 15.4 ov), 5-141 (Ashton Turner, 18.5 ov), 6-141 (Ashton Agar, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 Strangled. Morris lucky first ball. Back of length, 136ks, angled in around hip-height, Banton wanted to glance it.L Hurst threw himself to the left and took it low. 11/13.6 Direct hit from point, Perth Stadium's buzzing again! Both batters mid-pitch. Agar slides to the right from backward point, leaps full-length to pluck it. Munro said yes but there was no run there. Peirson ran but was going through the motions, went through with hope. None there. Was a length ball in the channel that was punched with the open face. Agar actually transferred the ball from his right hand to left there 22/24.2 Worst possible outcome for Munro, partner gone run out and now he goes. He's charged down town to turn length balls into full ones tonight, tries again but the impact is from around the area just below the sticker. Ball went straight up, taken at mid-off 22/38.5 Another direct hit, another goner! From backward point again, this time it's at the non-striker's end, no heroics from McSweeney this time. Fielders swarm and the crowd is chuffed! Was a length ball outside off that was cut straight to the fielder. Renshaw took off but he, unlike the striker, had time to get a head start. A slide didn't bring McSweeney in the frame. Big wind-up on the throw from Allen, so the power and direction were bang on 62/410.4 Makes room, gets followed, launches it straight to deep square leg! Big boundary has Renshaw hole out. Only two fielders out due to the surge and and both leg side, so Renshaw wanted to open up the off side. But adjusted to the line, tried to pick it up from around knee-height. Got it high, direction totally wrong 73/516.4 Fun's over, game's almost done too. This is wide and full, Bryant got on one knee and went for the cover drive. Got it a touch too square and straight to the fielder. Behrendorff shifted to over the wicket this ball 118/911.2 Walter's stay is small. Behrendorff didn't change his line despite being hit last ball, but there was a lowering of pace. Walter made room and had to reach out for the cut, ballooned it off the bottom. Low catch for short third 78/613.2 Pulls the 113ks ball straight to long-on. Length ball on off, batter cleared the front foot and tried to muscle it across. Spliced it around chest-height. The crowd all but know this is in the bag, so no big celebration 92/714.1 Taken on the second attempt! Ball was rushing to his right, around his armpit, he was swivelling back and the ball popped above him. Agar then slid back, got low and collected the slowing ball. Was a slightly short ball that stuck in the pitch, Swepson went for the flick and got a leading edge 95/819.4 Yorker takes out leg stump. 135ks, Johnson cleared the front foot again and tried to drive over mid-on. Beaten completely. 132/10Extras15 (b 4, lb 3, w 8)TOTAL132 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 6.71)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Tom Banton, 1.1 ov), 2-22 (Jimmy Peirson, 3.6 ov), 3-22 (Colin Munro, 4.2 ov), 4-62 (Nathan McSweeney, 8.5 ov), 5-73 (Matt Renshaw, 10.4 ov), 6-78 (Paul Walter, 11.2 ov), 7-92 (Xavier Bartlett, 13.2 ov), 8-95 (Mitchell Swepson, 14.1 ov), 9-118 (Max Bryant, 16.4 ov), 10-132 (Spencer Johnson, 19.4 ov)
