- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.3 Nannes pitches that short, Maddinson picks that from outside off as he looks to pull, top edges it which skies towards fine leg. Cummins ran forward and slides to grab it. 29/15.4 alters the length and it worked, bowls a slower bouncer around off, Lumb tries to pull but didn't read it as he was early onto it and ends up with a sitter towards the square leg where the man runs to his left to catch it. 54/213.4 once again Wessels steps out as Hauritz pushes that full and wide outside off, reaches for it and ends up with a top edge which lob towards the long-off where Sandhu places underneath it and pouches it. 129/411.2 tossed up delivery on middle and leg, clears the front leg and tries for a slog. He was a bit early which took the bottom part of the blade and went safe into the hands of McDonald at long-on 105/319.4 Sandhu bowls that full and on middle and off, Silk gets down a bit and goes for a mighty slog, this time ball kept touch low and goes through his bat which knocks the stumps. 177/717.5 Carters been done by the change of pace, Sandhu rolls his fingers as that shape in from back of a length. Carters unable to read the slower one and was early for a cross batted hit, misses it completely and it shatters the stumps. 165/518.4 slower and shortish as Abbott clears the front leg and heaves it awkwardly as he was deceived by the pace, ends up hitting it straight into the hands of Sandhu at deep on the leg side 168/6Extras23 (b 2, lb 15, w 6)TOTAL180/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.0)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Nic Maddinson, 3.3 ov), 2-54 (Michael Lumb, 5.4 ov), 3-105 (Moises Henriques, 11.2 ov), 4-129 (Riki Wessels, 13.4 ov), 5-165 (Ryan Carters, 17.5 ov), 6-168 (Sean Abbott, 18.4 ov), 7-177 (Jordan Silk, 19.4 ov)
