0.4 to TF Rogers, guess what? A leg-side delivery has fetched Connolly his first wicket of the match. Was short of length angling towards the pads. Rogers went for the pull but ended up top-edging it behind the wicket. The short fine leg manages to get under it and takes it safely. 8/1
0.5 to JM Clarke, bowled 'im! Connolly is on a hat-trick! It's a yorker on the middle stump. Clarke, who had return to the side, tried to jam his bat at it but missed. He walks back for a first-ball duck. 8/2

1.6 to SB Harper, Richardson gets his man. Stars have lost three in two overs. Was a length ball, just outside off. Harper went for a pull but only half a pull. Ended up getting a top edge towards short midwicket and Holt accepted it gleefully. 15/3
16.2 to GJ Maxwell, a length ball around off. Maxwell goes for the pull but is slightly early into the shot. Ends up skying it very, very high towards fine leg. Hardie settles under it and gobbles it up. 117/8
16.3 to Haris Rauf, Two in two for Richardson. A length ball on the pads. Rauf looks to flick it but ends up hitting it straight up. Richardson sprints across and completes the catch near short leg. 117/9
18.2 to MJ Swepson, a length ball at the stumps. Swepson moves across and looks to pull it fine. But he gets only a tickle on it and it's another regulation catch for Inglis behind the stumps. 130/10

9.1 to C Kellaway, ... and strikes straightaway. Kellaway gives charge, making some room at the same time. Looks to smash this now-full delivery through extra cover but all he gets is an outside edge to the keeper. 67/4
402416.00123001
14.3 to HWR Cartwright, a length ball outside off. Cartwright throws his hands at it without moving his feet. Gets an outside edge and it's an easy catch for the keeper. 108/6
403027.50130311
13.3 to MP Stoinis, taken at short third. A length ball at the batter. Stoinis backs away and looks to cut it over short third. Instead, he ends up hitting straight into his hands. 100/5
15.4 to TK Curran, Payne gets his man. A slower one and Curran once again goes hard it. Gets a thick outside edge and it's a comfortable catch for short third. Stars are 117 for 7. 117/7

15.1 to FH Allen, Siddle starts with a short ball outside off. Allen goes for the pull but ends up hitting straight to Maxwell at deep midwicket. He makes no mistake this time. 120/4

2.1 to MR Marsh, and he strikes first ball. It was a length ball outside off. Marsh went for the pull but ended up top-edging it. It is swirler but Maxwell is under it and takes the catch near short midwicket. Had to take a couple of steps forward at the last moment. "Didn't curve the way I expected," he says on the mic. 22/1
2.3 to C Connolly, Haris gets another. Short of length outside off. Connolly goes back to... upper cut, I think... but plays halfheartedly and ends up lobbing it towards cover. A much easier catch for Cartwright. 24/2
4.1 to JP Inglis, Haris has his third. He has 3 for 2 at the moment. A length ball outside off. Inglis goes for the pull only to top-edge it straight up. An easy one for Harper behind the stumps. 26/3
