0.6 to DP Conway, taken at mid-off! This was a touch fuller, Conway looks to drive over the off side, skews it off the toe end without any timing and Marsh just had to take a few steps back outside the ring. 7/1 4.3 to TB Robinson, what a beauty! Huge appeal for caught behind. Massive sound, but not given. Marsh calls the review. Short of a length, lifts and jags away from Robinson. And, yes, he's nicked that. Test match style wicket from Hazlewood. 41/2
Xavier Bartlett	4	0	25	2	6.25	14	3	1	0	0
12.2 to TL Seifert, attempted reverse scoop spooned straight to backward point! Third was up inside the circle, he premeditates and tries to revers scoop but Bartlett's hard length hurries him and he just spoons it to Head who is delighted to take the simple catch after spilling two in game one. 99/5 16.3 to JDS Neesham, holes out to deep midwicket! Short ball climbing outside off, he takes on the pull but is hurried, he skies it towards deep midwicket and Abbott runs in to take the catch easily. 138/6
Sean Abbott	4	0	25	3	6.25	11	1	1	2	0
5.4 to MS Chapman, very high in the air, and that's a stunning catch! Tim David, magnificent. Full at middle, Chapman looks to go down the ground. Goes miles up. David turns and runs back from mid-on, keeps his eye on the ball as it comes over his shoulder. Dives on the run and manages to cling on. One of the great catches.. 46/3 18.3 to MJ Henry, top edge straight up and Stoinis pouches it at midwicket! Hard length, on middle, he tries to pull and is cramped, the top edge flies straight up and Stoinis hardly has to move inside the circle. 146/8 18.6 to BV Sears, castled! Tries an ambitious lap scoop and gets too far inside the line and loses his middle stump. Ambition outrunning ability there unfortunately. 147/9
Adam Zampa	4	0	30	1	7.50	7	2	1	0	0
17.5 to MG Bracewell, holes out to long-off! Wrong un outside off, he tries to loft over long-off but doesn't elevate it enough and picks out Short on the rope. 144/7
Marcus Stoinis	4	1	43	1	10.75	12	3	3	2	0
9.1 to DJ Mitchell, big swing, thick edge, gone! Good length at off stump, some shape away, Mitchell loses his shape on a drive through the line. 77/4

3.2 to TM Head, that's done it! Full and straight, Head stays leg side of it, aims to drive through the off side and is cleaned up. That shaped back nicely at the left hander. 28/1 15.4 to XC Bartlett, held at deep square by Robinson! The drop cost nothing. A higher bouncer, Bartlett takes it on without control and top edges it to deep square and Robinson runs in to take it. 134/7
Ben Sears	3	0	45	1	15.00	6	4	4	0	0
12.6 to MJ Owen, skied straight up and Henry holds on! Good length, cross seam, Owen tries to launch again and skies it straight up, Henry has to settled under it and just holds on as it dips away from him. 111/6
James Neesham	4	0	26	4	6.50	9	1	1	1	0
6.2 to MW Short, superb catch! Well held at deep midwicket. A length ball, angling into the pads, Short looks to flick over the leg side with a bottom-handed whip, doesn't get the distance and Chapman does very well running to his left and diving low to the ground. 62/2 8.1 to TH David, taken at deep third! Wide outside off, David goes for a huge swing across the line, bottom hand comes off the bat, flies a long way off the outside edge. 80/3 8.6 to AT Carey, what a catch! That's a ripper from Chapman. Carey gives himself room outside leg stump, drives square over point, Chapman gets around the rope and dives full length to hold an absolute hanger. 85/4 10.1 to MP Stoinis, holes out to mid-off! Neesham has 4 for 6! Full, wobble seam, in the slot to be hit, he slices it flat straight to mid-off! Simple catch. 93/5
