- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6 the slower ball does the trick. A 87.5kmph back of the hand ball. Wells comes down the track in an attempt to loft it away. He is deceived by the lack of pace and is well into the stroke by the time the ball comes to him. There is only one place that the ball can go after he missed it- middle stump. It hits the top of middle and Wells is disappointed 37/119.3 he is gone now as he plays a tired drive straight into the hands of Henriques at long-off. A very good innings by Jaques 162/317.4 the change of pace does the trick. Birt is looking to paddle the ball away and makes his intentions clear as Starc is running in. He sees the movement and pitches it short. Birt looks to adjust and ends up gloving it to the keeper. Good, entertaining innings by Birt 144/2Extras6 (b 2, lb 2, w 2)TOTAL169/3 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Jonathan Wells, 5.6 ov), 2-144 (Travis Birt, 17.4 ov), 3-162 (Phil Jaques, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2 and that's the celbration for the Test recall. He bowls one on the off stump and it straightens a touch. Nevill doesn't help himself by coming down the track.

Sixers in serious trouble now 7/211.5 full-toss on the middle stump. Maddinson looks to sweep it and misses. He is struck on the pads and has to go 73/410.3 does anybody remember the catch by McGrath off Vaughan? Laughlin has pulled off a similar catch. Smith goes for the slog sweep and Laughlin puts in a forward dive to pull off a stunner 64/316.4 short ball outside the off stump. HEnriques is early into the pull shot as he gets a top edge that is taken easily by Jaques at short fine-leg 110/713.4 short on the off stump. Bravo goes for the pull and doesn't get enough bat as the ball flies straight into the hands of Shah at midwicket 85/514.5 fuller ball on the off stump.
