3.2 to JR Philippe, leading edge straight to cover-point! 131kph, back of a length, of off, Philippe closes the face trying to work through midwicket and gets a leading edge that floats straight to Agar at cover-point. Simple catch. 18/1
Ashton Agar	4	0	27	1	6.75	11	0	0
16.6 to MC Henriques, given lbw! Swings across the line, a quicker ball. And he's called for the review. Back pad in front of middle and leg. Smashing leg. 162/3

7.3 to KR Patterson, holes out to the short boundary! Good catch on the rope by Fanning! Slog sweep was on, it was tossed up in the arc but maybe the angle caused Patterson get a top edge, it flew 53m rather than 54m, Fanning was staring into the setting sun with the rope near his heels but he held his nerve and the catch. 49/2

12.6 to NR Hobson, skewed high into the off side, and taken...full and straight, Hobson aiming down the ground again, takes a thickish outside edge instead. 119/5
Hayden Kerr	4	0	42	1	10.50	3	0	0
10.4 to S Fanning, lofted down the ground, taken at mid-off...no timing in that from Fanning as Kerr takes the pace off, seems a little half-hearted in the stroke. 97/4

3.2 to FH Allen, Henriques takes a towering skier at mid-off! Good length, outside off, Allen tries to loft over mid-off but gets under it, Henriques backs back from the circle and takes the catch very comfortably. He made a difficult catch look very easy. 36/1 3.3 to AM Hardie, caught behind! Back of a length, 136kph, wide of off, he tries to square drive on the up, gets a thin edge and Philippe takes a simple catch. 36/2 9.3 to C Connolly, holes out to Silk! 135kph, short and wide, he smokes a cut shot slat and straight to Silk. Connolly picked out the wrong man. He pouches it neatly. 91/3 13.5 to AC Agar, edged, taken! Pushed across outside off, Agar goes for a big drive first ball and it's a simple catch for Philippe. Four for Abbott. 128/6
