    18.6 bowled him! A beauty! Marsh plays back to defend a good length ball that drifts in, it spins past the edge and clips the outside of the top of off 130/1

    27.5 skied straight up and Burl takes it at cover-point! Outstanding from Madhevere. He flights it slower, Head jumps early, doesn't get to the pitch, he goes through with it and skies it straight up and Burl takes it well despite the wind 190/2

    45.1 goes very high, and Taylor gathers it! No century for Connolly. Short of a length outside off from round the wicket, Connolly aims a mighty swipe, aiming to the leg side, takes a big top edge and Taylor does well to backtrack and settle under it around short fine leg 297/5

    34.1 chipped back to the bowler! Slower pace does it. Good length, on middle, he's back to push at it but it just holds in the surface and he pushes with hard hands and chips it back to the bowler. Well bowled. Inglis will be annoyed to fall that way 229/3

    43.2 taken at backward point! Carey's struggle is over. Back of a length outside off, pace taken off by Evans, Carey gave himself room outside leg then sliced a drive in the air 286/4

    47.3 is this a brilliant catch? Whipped off the pads, deep square leg comes hurtling in, dives forward. Kaia the fielder. He stays down for a while, but seems okay. Has it carried to him? Oh, think he's done superbly here. Looks like fingers under the ball. Yep, third umpire confirms it's a clean catch. Fantastic effort. 321/6

    11.5 clean bowled trying to reverse sweep! Good bowling. Not a great option. Renshaw potentially predicted Bennett was going to reverse sweep. He fired full and straight and Bennett didn't adjust his stroke and lost his middle stump as the ball went behind his legs as tried to reverse sweep from a position well outside off 46/1

    24.4 through him, 200 ODI wickets for Zampa! A beautiful piece of bowling to get there. A googly which spins back between bat and pad, completely defeats Kaia. Just clips the top of leg stump. Lovely delivery. 115/3

    44.4 given lbw! Madhevere reviews. Full and tailing in, it beats the inside edge and hits the back thigh. No bat. But was it tailing too far? Ball tracking says ... umpire's call! Clipping the outside of leg. Review is retained but Madhevere is out. 253/7
