0.6 to MW Short, Willey gets the big fish! Half-volley ball on the stumps, plays the front foot cover drive, the bat face rotates as he hits the wobble seam delivery, hits it uppishly and the short cover fielder pouches it with ease.. 11/1

1.4 to CA Lynn, Lynn bites the dust! Hard length ball on the stumps with a hint of movement, backs away early and charges down the track to heave it away across the line, thickish outside edge and finds the off-side sweeper fielder. 19/2
16.6 to J Overton, Straight up in the air and taken! Bouncer pace on ball on middle-leg, cramped for space and throws his bat at it, connects the leading edge and skies it high to the short fine leg area. Maddinson had to track back and move sideways as the ball kept on swirling, and later on managed to hold on to it with a spectacular effort!. 139/5

12.2 to MW Harvey, Slower ball does the trick! Change of pace ball in the slot, 106 kph, Harvey attempts to heave it away over the on-side area, right hand goes off after mistiming the stroke, finds the long on fielder. 94/4
19.3 to J Wadia, Uprooted the leg stump! Full and overpitched ball angling in on middle-leg, Wadia tries to clear the on-side ropes with the cross bat, misses the pace on ball and has to depart.. 163/7
19.5 to L Wood, Agar gets his third scalp Off-cutter ball around the off stump line, 101.7 kph, Wood attempts to flick it away across the line of the ball, finds the on-side sweeper fielder as he mishits the ball. 163/8

10.3 to JJS Sangha, Soft dismissal! Widish slower through the air ball angles away outside off, plays the square cut early and connects the toe-end of the bat, chipping it straight to Warner at cover inside the circle.. 87/3

11.2 to SJ Konstas, caught at deep square leg! Banged in short pitched ball on the stumps, stands tall inside the crease and plays the swivel pull shot, miscues the stroke and picks out the sweeper fielder near the ropes.. 77/3

9.4 to M Gilkes, Done him with the pace! 144.7 kph hard length ball on the probing zone, Gilkes plays the square drive, no foot movement visible, caught at the crease and gets a faint edge off the bat to Mackenzie behind the stumps. The Strikers finally get the breakthrough!. 73/1
15.5 to NJ Maddinson, Clipped the off stump! Stump to stump bowling from Overton, beaten by the pace again as Maddinson goes for the heave with the cross bat, swings his bat and connects with thin air.. 121/4
18.5 to DJ Willey, Short takes a screamer! Widish hard length ball angling away outside off, Willey slashes it hard straight of mid-off. The ball was dipping quickly, but Short launched into a full-stretch dive to his left and plucked it out of the air. A sensational grab; that's the captain leading from the front!. 153/7

10.1 to SW Billings, Billings has to depart! The batting order didn't work for the Thunder today. Generously flighted length ball with slight deviation away from the batter, dances down the track and plays with the straight bat, lofts it towards widish long off. Overton sprinted forward and executed a perfect sliding catch, maintaining his balance and control as he went to ground.. 74/2
16.2 to DR Sams, Lloyd has the last laugh! Tossed up another fuller length ball, this time pitching it in line and Sams goes for the big slog sweep, misses everything and disturbs the furniture. "Come on," screams Pope, he is pumped up!. 128/5
