full ball into him, whipped off his toes through midwicket and that seals victory.

too far down legside and it's a wide

and he's ending this in a hurry. Length ball on middle and leg, gets inside the line and whips it from waist height to the backward square leg boundary

what a way to bring up 100. Low full toss on the pads and he has a clean swing of the bat through it to deposit it over deep square leg with nonchalance. Stunning shot to cap a stunning innings.

fuller outside off, drives it to the man on the cover boundary

and Siddle goes back to length outside off, McDermott just stands tall and crashes it through extra cover to get another boundary. He's been imperious

he's 360-degreeing it. Goes across his stumps and scoops this full ball over short fine leg. Audacity.

nails the yorker again, this time on a fifth stump line, dug back out to the bowler

pace off again, wide yorker outside off, he reaches for it and gets enough meat on it to carve it over backward point

slower ball, swing and a miss. Full outside off, he was looking to launch it, can't connect

direct hit nicks the stumps but the bails don't come off!. length ball outside off, steered into the offside, and the fielder lets fly an accurate throw. Unfortunately, the bails stay in place - otherwise, McDermott would have been out at the non-striker's end having backed up too far

that's a sharp bouncer but that's an even better shot. Reared up to his helmet but he got his hands up in flash, was swaying head out of the way but still managed to smash a pull shot to the square leg boundary

moving around in the crease a bit, but the bowler keeps it on a length outside off. Punched to cover

too short and hammered. McDermott's unstoppable. Rocked back on the back foot and pulled it powerfully, flat and hard over deep midwicket

back of a length coming into him, pushed to cover's left

full outside off, steered to deep cover

goes right back to another googly and tucks it forward of square

another googly, didn't read it and was looking to clip it legside, but wears it above the knee roll

fuller outside off, confidently on the front foot to lace it through extra cover

you can't deny Rashid a wicket can you? Brook is new to the crease, goes down on one knee to sweep, but this was the googly and Rashid traps him right in front to be palpably out. The bowler was almost celebrating before appealing.
