stroked past cover and Australia win 4-1! Tossed up outside off, he leans on a drive and times it very nicely between cover and mid-off!

tossed up on off, 86kph, he defends on the front foot

cut behind point again! Well controlled this time. Short and angled across, he rides the bounce and glides it nicely down past gully and it beats the sweeper

141kph, bouncer, over off, he ducks and it hits him in the left shoulder blade

cut behind point! Short and fractionally wide, he stands tall and cuts in the air but in the big gap behind point and it runs away

short into the ribs, 142kph, he's back and across early to pull with control behind square

back of a length on leg, he glances off the hip, short leg knocks it down, it runs behind him, Carey takes off and Green sends him back. Carey is a cat on a hot roof at the moment

back of a length, 142kph, on off, he's back to knock it to cover-point

90kph, tossed up on middle, he premeditates a reverse sweep but picks out backward point

this rags and bounces from the footmarks, past Green and down leg and Smith has no chance, it runs away for valuable byes

shorter length, on middle, he's back to defend to short leg

skips out and defends to Bethell's left, Carey overcommits and Green sends him back!

spinning from the footmark, dust everywhere, he gets a thick inside edge that runs behind square

tossed up near the footmarks, he leans out to defend

138kph, back of a length on the hip, he's back to knock it to midwicket

140kph, back of a length, he jumps back and defends offside and takes one this time

141kph, bouncer over off, a good one, he ducks very late turning his head

another late call! Angled into leg, he defends towards mid-on, Green set off and Carey was late sending him back

bouncer over leg, he ducks under it

another tight single and mix-up! Oh dear! Green, like at the MCG, knocks it offside for a tight one, Carse follows through and fires but Green beat the wide throw this time, there was no one backing up, Carey wanted an overthrow but Green had run through too far, they started to go and then aborted! Everyone is nervous
