- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.6 Kohli finds short fine leg! That was juggle that could put any circus expert to shame! Kohli flicked the ball straight to Khaleel, and he got both hands to it, then juggled, juggled, and tried and tried, and kept tossing the ball close to his chest before finally clinging on to it. That was about eight to 10 attempts there. Not kidding 137/310.3 that's the first wicket of the game and it's the more dangerous batter gone! Marsh's slow and wide ball works this time because du Plessis goes after this one on the off side, takes the aerial route, but there's no pace at all, and he finds deep cover 82/110.4 first ball duck for Maxwell! Marsh gets his mate caught behind, the stadium erupts. This wasn't the slower one, Maxwell tries to scythe it off the back foot and the ball gets good bounce from back of length, gets a thin outside edge and straight into Salt's hands 82/219.1 caught at long-off! A low and wide full toss, Karthik swings big and nearly gets it across the rope but Warner goes to his left and pouches it easily from long-off 172/4Extras8 (lb 2, w 6)TOTAL181/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-82 (Faf du Plessis, 10.3 ov), 2-82 (Glenn Maxwell, 10.4 ov), 3-137 (Virat Kohli, 15.6 ov), 4-172 (Dinesh Karthik, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 Skiiiiied and taken. Full outside off and Warner went for the big shot. The ball went up high in the air and Faf du Plessis takes it reverse-cupped just in front of his face as he fell back at mid-off 60/115.3 Beauty to end Salt's assault! Tossed up full on leg, Salt goes back and plays all around it as the ball deflects off his pads onto the off-stump. He goes for 87 off 45, essentially having wrapped the match up for his team today! 171/310.3 Oh, he has picked out deep square leg off the full toss! Low full toss going down leg and Marsh looks to flick it away. It goes up high and falls to Lomror, who takes a simple catch 119/2Extras9 (b 4, lb 2, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL187/3 (16.4 Overs, RR: 11.22)Fall of wickets: 1-60 (David Warner, 5.1 ov), 2-119 (Mitchell Marsh, 10.3 ov), 3-171 (Phil Salt, 15.3 ov)
