0.1 to WTS Porterfield, gone! First ball. Perfect start for Australia. Was dropped in short, Porterfield responded with a hook, gets a top edge and it is comfortably taken by long leg. 0/1
14.3 to NJ O'Brien, that's the end of that. A full ball, perhaps a slower delivery, Niall aims to swing it through the leg side in the slog-sweep position and misses. 85/5
14.6 to KJ O'Brien, big wicket! Excellent over from Watson. A short ball, Kevin tried to upper-cut it down to third man and was a little half-hearted in the short which led to an edge to Wade.. 86/6
402025.00112000
3.3 to PR Stirling, another catch in the deep, this time at third man. Was a hint of width outside off, Stirling through his hands through a drive and it skewed high down towards Watson who ran around the boundary and held an excellent catch. 15/2
17.1 to DT Johnston, on target! Perfect yorker from round the wicket, right at the bottom of off stump and hits the target as Johnston tried to give himself room. 101/7
402907.25115000

5.5 to EC Joyce, very soft...tossed up on off stump, Joyce tries to go over the top but can only lob his drive straight to mid-off who was inside the circle. 25/3
201105.5061000
402215.50122000
7.2 to GC Wilson, gone! Another departs. Hogg strikes second ball. It looked pretty good, full on the stumps, straightened a fraction and Wilson was trying to play to leg.. 33/4

7.1 to DA Warner, that's the breakthrough...Warner used his feet and flicked it sweetly into the leg side but straight to the man at deep midwicket. 60/1

10.6 to MEK Hussey, gone! The umpire decides that was pad first. Shaped back late into Hussey who was pushing forward and got caught in front of middle and off. 95/3
