- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 skied straight up, Kerr takes it at cover! Full on off, he tries to whip over the leg side, gets a leading edge that flies straight up, it's very windy tonight and the ball wobbles in the breeze but Kerr dives late and takes the catch! 5/14.3 clean bowled! Attempted reverse sweep ends badly. Full, sliding into middle and leg, he steps outside off and tries to reverse sweep but misses completely while exposing middle and leg and it crashes into them! 34/24.5 picks out Silk at deep midwicket! Short drag down, shot was on, Carey could have it hit this into the stands and he just checked the stroke, maybe it held up, he hit it straight down Silk's throat 15 metres off the rope! 35/316.3 full and wide, aims over the leg side, goes miles in the air, Philippe is able to get around from behind the stumps into midwicket 132/418.3 full and straight, miles into the evening sky, and in the end that's a brilliant catch by Shaw! For a moment it looked like they'd be a misunderstand. Launched into the leg side, Shaw came in from deep square and had to pull out the full dive at the end. Superbly done. 153/5Extras5 (lb 3, nb 2)TOTAL182/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Matthew Short, 0.6 ov), 2-34 (D'Arcy Short, 4.3 ov), 3-35 (Alex Carey, 4.5 ov), 4-132 (Ollie Pope, 16.3 ov), 5-153 (Alex Ross, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 cracked straight to cover! Full and wide, he cracks a drive from the screws but doesn't go up or down, Short reaches up and plucks an outstanding reflex catch 18/19.2 edged to short third! Smith can't believe it! Short and wide, Smith lashes a cut shot but gets a thick edge and it flies all the way to Thornton on the circle at short third. Huge wicket 88/35.6 Edwards run trying for two! Edwards isn't happy! Full toss on off, he works it to deep midwicket and Smith pushes for two to get the strike for the next over, Edwards was slow to get to the striker's and Doggett's throw is a beauty to hit direct from the deep! 64/210.1 brilliantly bowled! Great delivery from Pope. Slides on quickly, beats Henrqiues all ends up, slides past the inside edge, takes the back pad. But he's hit the cover off that! And they've used up the review. Jeepers 92/59.6 huge appeal for lbw, and given! Overton gets his second. But Silk will review. Silk got a long way across, is it sliding? Nips back a long way. Could be high as well. No, it's three reds! Wow. Smashing the top of leg stump 92/418.1 big appeal for lbw, not given! Misses a reverse sweep (and falls out). Will they review? Yes, they have done. Pitches on middle, straightens, looks very close! Takes the knee roll. And it's smashing middle 160/716.4 full and wide outside off, and picks out deep midwicket! Huge moment. The tactic works, keeping it wide outside off, Dwarshuis tries to fetch it and can't get the distance 147/6Extras10 (lb 3, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL183/7 (19.5 Overs, RR: 9.22)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Josh Philippe, 1.5 ov), 2-64 (Jack Edwards, 5.6 ov), 3-88 (Steven Smith, 9.2 ov), 4-92 (Jordan Silk, 9.6 ov), 5-92 (Moises Henriques, 10.1 ov), 6-147 (Ben Dwarshuis, 16.4 ov), 7-160 (Lachlan Shaw, 18.1 ov)
