Simpson tried to pull it across but it perhaps kept a bit low and got beaten on the under-edge to get struck on the pads. Simpson had a chat with Turner but decided against the review.

Jordan Clark to Warner, out Caught by Will Jacks!! Jordan Clark gets his second wicket and he gets the prized wicket of Warner!

Behrendorff to Williamson, FOUR, Williamson charges down the track. The length is on the shorter side and Williamson manages to swipe it over mid-wicket. Not the best of timings but he got enough on it to clear mid-wicket

Jordan Clark to Williamson, FOUR, sublime! Fractionally overpitched outside off, Williamson leans into it and creams the drive past the diving fielder at covers. Mid-off gives it a chase but comes second best.
