0.5 to JD Wildermuth, full toss smacked straight to cover-point! The umpires have sent this upstairs to check it wasn't above waist high but it was well under. Thigh high full toss outside off, he throws the kitchen sink at it and smacks it head high straight to Abbott who hangs on at cover-point!. 6/1
2.4 to MT Renshaw, caught behind! Outstanding bowling. 143kph, angled into off, this swerves away very late as he tries to drive, catches the edge and Philippe takes to catch moving to his leg. Two angled in and one shaping away. Classic Starc. 18/3
14.1 to JJ Peirson, full toss chipped to cover! Starc gets a second with a full toss! Wide full toss, there to be hammered, he chips it in the air at head height and straight to Curran at cover. Starc has three. He laughed at that one. 96/6
18.6 to XC Bartlett, Henriques takes a stunner at mid-off! Back of a length wide of off, he flat bats it with power to mid-off, Henriques has to jump at full stretch on the circle and plucks it!. 155/8
302719.0054000
1.4 to UT Khawaja, Straight to short third! Back of a length, fourth stump, Khawaja opens the face to glide it but glides it straight to Dwarshuis on the circle! Needed to go up or down. 12/2

9.4 to M Labuschagne, Shaw holds this at deep midwicket! Short arm ball, top of off, he tries to pull and gets under it, it hangs in the air for an age but Shaw holds his composure on the rope and takes the catch. 59/4

13.5 to M Bryant, given lbw! Celebrappeal from Curran. Looks out. Bryant reviews. Full and straight, on off, on pace, he tries to whip across the line, tries to go very square, hit on the back pad infront of off. Ball tracking says umpire's call hitting off. Heat keep the review but Bryant is out.. 95/5
17.2 to MG Neser, taken at deep cover! Full and wide, he leans back to try and loft over cover but slices it high and a touch squarer than where he intended, Davies runs from deep cover-point and takes the catch. 144/7

2.6 to JR Philippe, attempted lap scoop bunted to short fine! Full outside off, 135kph, a delivery easy enough to drive, he premeditates a lap scoop but just gets under it too much and it floats to short fine. Wildermuth took the catch easily but the umpires send it upstairs to check Wildermuth didn't put the ball on the ground as got to his feet. He kept his fingers under the ball the entire time. No issue.. 31/2

1.6 to Babar Azam, chipped high and straight to mid-on! Full on leg, he tries whip legside but a hint of shape forces a slight leading edge and it balloons high in the air and straight to mid-on. Easy catch for Bryant. 21/1
18.3 to L Shaw, top edge straight up! Another short ball, this one a little quicker and higher, he tries to go again and gets a top edge straight up and Peirson takes the catch. 171/5

8.4 to MC Henriques, top edge taken at deep midwicket! Short outside off, he takes on a pull shot and the extra bounce forces a top edge as he tries to drag it from wide of off, he skies it high to deep midwicket and Labuschagne runs in to take the catch easily. 74/3
