- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 gone! Sidebottom strikes! Watson flashes at a short and widish ball, flies off the top edge to Kieswetter, who can't quite hold on, bounces off his gloves and Swann takes the rebound! Massive breakthrough for England. 2/11.5 Warner gone this time! England on fire, Clarke pushes a good-length ball to cover, and then attempts a single, Warner tares down but Lumb swooped in and under-armed his throw on to the stumps at the strikers end to leave Warner well short of his ground 7/29.2 brilliant from Collingwood! Fantastic catch! Swann flighted it up, and beat Clarke in the air as he skipped down the wicket, in the end it's chipped into what looked a vacant straight midwicket, but Collingwood dived to his left from short midwicket, two-handed and plucked it out the air 45/42.1 Sidebottom strikes again! Australia lose another wicket! Short and down the leg side from Sidebottom, hardly a great ball, but Haddin swung hard at it and it came off what looks like the thigh, Kieswetter took an excellent catch high to his left. Great catch but very unlucky for Haddin 8/319.2 very good again from Broad, full and straight, not giving much for Hussey to work with, he shoves it down to long on, Wright fields, and fires in a throw to the strikers end where Hussey is attempting to come back for the second, Kieswetter takes it in front of the stumps and has the bails off in a flash, beating the batsman, top fielding that! 142/615.4 White gone this time! Broad takes the catch! Really good from Broad, it was another fullish ball, White had a big swish and it came off the outside edge miles in the air, Broad called for it straight away from point and ran behind him to hold on to an excellent, crucial catch 95/5Extras8 (b 1, lb 2, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL147/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Shane Watson, 0.3 ov), 2-7 (David Warner, 1.5 ov), 3-8 (Brad Haddin, 2.1 ov), 4-45 (Michael Clarke, 9.2 ov), 5-95 (Cameron White, 15.4 ov), 6-142 (David Hussey, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 Gone! Tait strikes in his first over! It was pitched up, taking Lumb somewhat by surprise. He whipped meatily to leg, getting a good connection to the shot, but hit it uppishly and straight to a wide-ish mid on, who clung on gratefully! 7/114.1 what on earth happened there? Kieswetter gave himself acres of space as he backed away to leg, with Johnson coming round the wicket, and the bowler simply speared one in full and straight. Kieswetter must've been fooled by the angle, because he didn't even try to hit that. Just left alone, and the ball made a mess of the stumps. 121/313.1 Pietersen goes! Smith strikes! The batsman was on the charge straight away, looking to hit the ball into orbit down the ground. He hit too far across the line though, with the ball turning from leg to off, getting underneath it. Long off circled beneath the chance, setting himself and holding on to a swirling chance 118/2Extras9 (lb 1, w 8)TOTAL148/3 (17 Overs, RR: 8.7)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Michael Lumb, 1.5 ov), 2-118 (Kevin Pietersen, 13.1 ov), 3-121 (Craig Kieswetter, 14.1 ov)
