0.4 to MJ Owen, another high ball, and Cartwright makes no mistake this time! Speared in full on middle and leg. Owen tries to help it over square leg but cloths it completely. Cartwright runs in off the deep mid wicket fence, settles under it and takes it low down. Throws the ball up into the air in delight. He will be relieved!. 9/1
Tom Curran	3	0	25	1	8.33	6	3	0	1	0
1.1 to Rehan Ahmed, nicked and gone! Rehan reviews! Full and wide outside off, shaping away late. Rehan charges down the track and swishes at it. There seems to be a noise as the ball passes the bat, but Rehan is adamant he has not hit this. Looks like we will have to rely on UltraEdge. Snicko has not had the greatest couple of days over in the Ashes. UltraEdge shows a spike, and Rehan is perplexed. He has to go, and he takes a review along with him too!. 10/2
Peter Siddle	3	0	23	1	7.66	6	2	0	1	0
15.3 to TH David, holes out to deep mid wicket, and David's struggles come to an end! Banged into the track on middle and leg, daring David to take on the longer side. David accepts the challenge but comes up second-best. Quite comfortably too. Arrows it flat to Rogers, who dives forward and completes the catch!. 119/4

5.2 to N Chaudhary, goes straight up, and that will be that for Chaudhary with the bat! Zipped in full on middle and leg, and this seems to just hold in the surface. Chaudhary wants to whip this away but gets a leading edge because of the slight lack of pace. Kellaway calls for it early, moves to his left from mid wicket and does the rest!. 36/3 17.2 to BR McDermott, another shank, and this time, McDermott bites the dust! Full and hung up wide outside off. McDermott's eyes light up and he thinks he can pop this downtown. Seems like a cutter, though, and that meddles with McDermott's timing. He slices across it and Swepson does the rest at long off. Big wicket at this stage!. 140/5
