0.5 to RJG Lockyear, good short ball rushes the batsan into a hook shot, big top edge flies to Hodge at point, falling backwards he takes the catch, hitting his head on the ground in the process. 7/1 16.5 to JW Rogers, after a string of dot balls for Rogers, he finally loses his cool and swings at a fullish ball that swung back in and hit middle. 134/6
Clint McKay	4	0	24	2	6.00	11	3	0	1	0
13.1 to TR Birt, advances and smashes a length ball straight up in the air. 122/5 19.2 to Naved-ul-Hasan, full and wide of off, reaches to swing at it and lofts it high in the air and the bowler runs round to short mid wicket to catch. 158/7
Dwayne Bravo	4	0	29	1	7.25	8	2	1	0	0
11.5 to GJ Bailey, full and punched with nice timing in the air down to long on, who takes an easy catch. 108/4
Jon Holland	2	0	16	1	8.00	2	1	0	0	0
10.1 to TD Paine, well flighted, pitching on middle and straightening, Paine tries to work it through the leg side but misses it altogether, a big breakthrough for Dutchy Holland. 98/3
John Hastings	4	0	38	1	9.50	7	6	0	0	0
7.1 to EJM Cowan, backs away and advances down the track, doesn't quite get to the pitch of it and he skies the drive to mid off, easy catch. 65/2

15.1 to BJ Hodge, what a pity, a brilliant innings comes to an end as Hodge skies out to long off going for another six. The crowd give him a standing ovation as he walks off. 147/1
