Back of a length outside off, cuts in the air down to third man, Finch never looked like taking it but flung out the right mit at the last second to take an unbelievable one-handed catch 69/519.4 full outside off, smashes it hard out to deep point where hill makes no mistake this time 160/7Extras2 (lb 2)TOTAL168/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.4)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Phillip Hughes, 1.2 ov), 2-19 (David Warner, 2.5 ov), 3-28 (Daniel Smith, 3.5 ov), 4-69 (Moises Henriques, 8.2 ov), 5-69 (Ben Rohrer, 8.5 ov), 6-130 (Usman Khawaja, 17.1 ov), 7-160 (Steve O'Keefe, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.4 advances down the wicket and is beaten in flight, Smith can't take it but fumbles onto the stumps for a lucky stumping 100/25.1 length on off, drives hard at it but can't get it over the infield, Abbott stands under it and takes an easy catch 49/112 steps back and tries to flick around the corner, slides on and catches him in front of leg, the umpire takes his time but gives it out. Replays show it was just hitting leg stump, good decision. 102/316.3 length on off, mistimes the drive straight to cover, well deserved second wicket to Abbott 127/612.3 full outside off, drives weakly in the air and straight to cover. A very soft dismissal 103/416.2 fullish on off, tries to go deep and gets it pretty well but Coyte calmly takes a catch right on the boundary, big wicket 127/518.3 full outside off, backs away and skies it straight up in the air 142/7Extras12 (lb 2, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL151/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.55)Fall of wickets: 1-49 (Ryan Carters, 5.1 ov), 2-100 (Aaron Finch, 11.4 ov), 3-102 (Brad Hodge, 11.6 ov), 4-103 (Andrew McDonald, 12.3 ov), 5-127 (Michael Hill, 16.2 ov), 6-127 (Matthew Wade, 16.3 ov), 7-142 (Daniel Salpietro, 18.3 ov)
