Hayden Schiller to Sebastian Morgan, out Caught by Alex Lee Young!! Another slower-ball and this time Sebastian Morgan slogs to leg and it's off the toe-end of the bat, way too early into the shot, straight up and Alex Lee Young calls for it to take it. Sebastian Morgan c Alex Lee Young b Hayden Schiller 15(22) [4s-1]

Will Malajczuk to Sebastian Morgan, FOUR, good hit. This time Sebastian Morgan comes down the track and then uses the angle to loft over mid-wicket, such strong bottom-hand and it races away into the gap

Aryan Sharma to Thomas Rew, 1 run, wonderful 100 from the skipper. His parents are in the audience. They must be long-ono proud. A gentle low full-toss on middle and leg, he gets forward and drives to long-on. Gets to the other end and leaps in delight. Then points the bat at the words "England" written on his tee. Off comes the helmet and he soaks in the applause

Aryan Sharma to Ralphie Albert, FOUR, Ralphie Albert down the track and even though he is not to the pitch of the ball, goes through with the loft, over mid-wicket and four more, mid-on was in as well

The big stand is broken. Not a great ball but the bounce and turn made Falconer mistime it. Caleb Falconer c Oliver Peake b Naden Cooray 40(53) [4s-4]

Hayden Schiller to Ben Mayes, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! This is a big wicket. Hayden Schiller has dismissed the leading run-getter of this tournament. Seam-up ball, very full in length, in the blockhole, Mayes shuffles a bit to push-drive and gets beaten. Don't think the batter expected the length to be so full. He's late to bring his bat down and hears the death rattle as the middle-stump gets uprooted. Ben Mayes b Hayden Schiller 24(33) [4s-3]

Aryan Sharma to Joseph Moores, out Lbw!! SIX and OUT! Aryan Sharma jumps and punches the air in delight. The fifty partnership has been broken. Aryan bowls this quicker and flatter on a length, Moores plays all around it from the crease while trying to work it through the leg-side. Beaten on the inside edge and rapped on the pads adjacent to the stumps. That would have probably gone onto hit the leg-stump. Joseph Moores lbw b Aryan Sharma 25(33) [4s-1 6s-1]
