- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 he is gone! He couldn't have picked out the fielder better. This was a gentle length ball, into the pads, he clipped it away square, but found the man to the left of the square-leg umpire. Ingram will be kicking himself 1/10.3 that's two wickets in three balls, and Sid has hardly been Vicious! Weston tries that steer to third man again, a shot full of danger with two slips in place. This one is not quite close to him, and takes the edge straight to second slip 3/25.3 and the pressure shows! Sinclair looks to cut this, this is neither too short nor too wide, and the slight extra bounce gets the edge, which a diving Wade expects 30/313.3 Worker is gone! McGain has been sliding these across him, and he has been dragging the slog-sweeps. This time he fails to keep it down and finds deep midwicket 83/418.2 finally Victoria get some reprieve! Diamanti is looking to hit this for a six over the covers, but ends up slicing it straight up and Siddle does well at third man, running in 149/5Extras11 (lb 6, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL165/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.25)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Peter Ingram, 0.1 ov), 2-3 (Tim Weston, 0.3 ov), 3-30 (Mathew Sinclair, 5.3 ov), 4-83 (George Worker, 13.3 ov), 5-149 (Brendon Diamanti, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 and then came the momentary brakes! Quiney gets a juicy delivery on the pads, but clips it to short fine leg, finding his man to perfection 40/16.6 there is a run-out! CD are hanging in! Super over for them: one run and a wicket! Finch hit straight to midwicket and ran through. Wade was understandably late to begin, and the throw went at his end, and he was found way short 49/213.3 big big wicket there! CD hanging on still! Nice slower ball, he has obviously put some revs there as this one bounces high off just back of a length, undoing Hussey's attempt to run it down to third man, and the faint tickle is taken by Weston safely 100/3Extras13 (lb 2, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL166/3 (19.4 Overs, RR: 8.44)Fall of wickets: 1-40 (Rob Quiney, 4.4 ov), 2-49 (Matthew Wade, 6.6 ov), 3-100 (David Hussey, 13.3 ov)
