Stoinis to Shadab Khan, FOUR, has deep mid-wicket made a clean save? It's a short of length delivery outside off, Shadab Khan goes on the back foot and pulls, Cartwright the man, he runs to his left and slides to push it back, the ball is close to the leg as the body touches the cushions, so will be four. Fine effort but he couldn't get the leg out of the ball's way there as his momentum took him to the cushions

Stoinis to Daniel Sams, out Bowled!! Seam-up and gone. Full and angled in on leg-stump, Daniel Sams clears his front leg to heave across the line, misses, the leg-stump is found. Daniel Sams b Stoinis 3(3)

Haris Rauf to Billings, out Caught by Maxwell!! Straight to deep mid-wicket. The short delivery and pace-on, at Billings who goes on the back foot to pull and doesn't time it, picks out Maxwell to perfection. Haris Rauf enjoyed that as he celebrates.

Haris Rauf to Billings, FOUR, superb. A short of length delivery on middle, Billings shuffles across and laps it over Sam Harper and nearly all the way, one bounce over the ropes
10.1
Tom Curran to Shadab Khan, no run, direct-hit and Billings was in trouble. Just short I reckon. Shadab Khan comes down the track and mistimes it to mid-on, Maxwell the fielder and he shies and misses as Billings tries to slide his bat back in
9.5
W
Mitchell Swepson to Bancroft, out Lbw!! Wickets is ump's call and Bancroft has to go. It angles in and full, Bancroft gets forward to flick and is rapped on the pads as he misses, the impact is in line and it's just clipping leg-stump. Bancroft fell over while playing the flick and missed a middle and leg delivery. The review is not wasted. And they take drinks as well. Bancroft lbw b Mitchell Swepson 10(13) [4s-1]

W
Stoinis to Warner, out Caught by Campbell Kellaway!! Stoinis is pumped. A short of length delivery on off, maybe stopped on Warner a tad, who punches and takes the bottom-hand off the bat, it still flies to backward point, and a fine catch over his head on the reverse-cup. Stoinis runs away tapping his chest in celebration. Warner c Campbell Kellaway b Stoinis 10(12) [6s-1]
8.1

Stoinis to Warner, SIX, there he goes. On to the top of the roof on the Bradman stand at deep square-leg. We need a replacement ball. A smile from Stoinis after that. It's full on middle, Warner gets low, on one knee and swings, it flies, lands on the roof and we need to get another ball
7.1

Mitchell Swepson to Bancroft, FOUR, beautiful reverse-sweep. It's tossed up full just outside off, Bancroft gets low and sweeps wide of backward point, runs away
6.2
Tom Curran to Bancroft, no run, dropped by Joe Clarke at backward point. A short of length delivery outside off, Bancroft leans back to cut, flew off the bat, Clarke had little time to react, gets hands on it and drops it. Suggests it came at him quickly

W
Mitchell Swepson to Sam Konstas, out Bowled!! Mitchell Swepson strikes first ball. It's a good length delivery on off, flat and Konstas tries to heave and misses, the off-stump is pegged back. Sam Konstas b Mitchell Swepson 11(15)

W
Haris Rauf to Matthew Gilkes, out Caught by Stoinis!! Another slower-ball and it does the job. A slower-ball and full on leg-stump, Matthew Gilkes is early into the flick, sort of a thick outer half of the bat, it lobs straight up and mid-off has an easy grab. Matthew Gilkes c Stoinis b Haris Rauf 24(13) [4s-1 6s-2]
3.1
Haris Rauf to Matthew Gilkes, 2 runs, dropped by Sam Harper. Runs a long way towards square-leg and gets both gloves, but it pops out.
