5.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Sean Abbott gets the much-needed breakthrough and this is the strikeback Australia were after! George Munsey after a good knock has to trudge back at 28(16). Abbott bowls this on a length and angles it away, outside off, George Munsey with not much of foot movement, opens up his stance and looks for the big swing across the line. He only manages to get an outside edge that flies high to the left of the keeper Josh Inglis who leaps and takes a good catch. 52/2

1.4 OUT! TAKEN! Xavier Bartlett draws first blood! He serves it a bit short and around the off pole. Ollie Hairs looks to slap it down the ground but gets a massive top edge. The ball travels as far as mid off where Mitchell Marsh takes the easiest of catches. Hairs departs with 6 runs to his name and Scotland suffer an early blow. 8/1

6.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Xavier Bartlett gets his second and Scotland lose two in quick succession! Bartlett follows up with a good length delivery, just outside off, Brandon McMullen takes a couple of steps out and makes room for himself to play the lofted drive but gets it off the upper half. Hits it aerially to deep cover where Jake Fraser-McGurk settles under and takes a simple catch. 62/3

11.5 OUT! TAKEN! Adam Zampa gets his man. He loops it full and keeps it outside off. Richie Berrington gets under it well and lofts it towards deep cover. However, he doesn't find the distance needed and Xavier Bartlett settles under it to take a fine catch. Richie Berrington departs for 23 (20). 101/4

14.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Cameron Green gets his first. He serves it full and on the toes of Matthew Cross. Cross picks it up but doesn't find the vacant region. The ball settles in the safe hands of Xavier Bartlett stationed at deep mid-wicket. It looked like a shot played under pressure and he has to walk back after scoring 27 as Scotland continue to lose wickets at regular intervals. 113/5

15.1 OUT! LBW! Adam Zampa strikes again, claiming his second wicket and the Scotland innings is unraveling fast. Zampa loops this up, full and on the stumps, Michael Leask gets his front leg across and looks to sweep it but misses the line completely. Gets hit plumb in front on the pads and the umpire takes no time in raising his finger. Leask stands still for a moment as he feels the impact was outside off but he has to walk back now. 117/6

18.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Scotland's innings is crumbling like a house of cards! Mark Watt will be kicking himself after that mistimed shot, handing an easy catch to the fielder and missing a real opportunity. Riley Meredith bowls it full and on off, right in the arc again, Mark Watt hangs back and looks to slash it over covers but is late on his shot and ends up hitting it straight to Marcus Stoinis at covers. 141/8

17.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Sean Abbott strikes and Jack Jarvis has to trudge back for 10 (8) as Scotland lose their 7th. Abbott bowls this full and on off but slower as well, Jack Jarvis bends low and looks for the big heave away from his body. Plays the shot a bit too early and ends up shooting it high in the air in front of long on. Cameron Green charges in from the deep and settles under to take a simple catch. 139/7

19.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and Scotland lose their 9th! This is wider outside off, on a length, Charlie Cassell looks for the big hoick on the off side but mistimes it high in the sky around covers. Mitchell Marsh from covers has a look and hopes that someone will call for it but decides to then go after the catch and takes a solid low catch coming in to his left. 145/9

0.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Oh no, not the debut Jake Fraser-McGurk was hoping for! Scotland strike early and land a major blow by taking down a key player right at the start of the innings. What a huge wicket as Jake Fraser-McGurk walks back for a duck! McMullen digs it short and over middle and off, Jake Fraser-McGurk waits back and looks to pull this away but mistime his shot over mid-wicket, Charlie Cassell backtracks and takes a brilliant catch above his head and he tumbles back. 0/1

7 OUT! TAKEN! THAT IS THE BIG WICKET! Mark Watt creates a significant impact. Takes two in his over. He serves it full and right on the off pole. Travis Head looks to muscle it over long off but like Marsh, he too doesn't get the distance needed. It is Michael Leask again to complete the catch and Head departs after a monstrous knock of 80 (25). 123/3

6.1 OUT! TAKEN! SOME RELIEF! Mark Watt gets a wicket off his first. He loops it full and around off. Mitchell Marsh with great intent lofts it over mid off. However, he doesn't get the distance needed and Michael Leask takes a fine catch to send him back. A wicket will boost their morale but the damage has been done. Marsh walks back for a breezy 32 (19) and the stand is broken at 113 runs. 113/2
