3.50Josh Hazlewood to Phil Salt
More frustration for Hazlewood. He lands this on a length just outside off, nipping back in, PS looks to punch but misses again.
-
3.40Josh Hazlewood to Phil Salt
That is a beauty. Full, outside off, Phil looks to push but is beaten by the lack of pace and some late away movement.

On a good length, outside off, punched to the off side.

3.24Josh Hazlewood to Phil Salt
FOUR! Fortuitous. A length ball, outside off, Salt comes down the track, looking to alter Hazlewood's length. As always, the machine wth a 100-year warranty does not swerve from his length or line and gets it on a good length just outside off. Generates extra bounce as well which cramps Salt for room as he goes hard at it. The outside edge is generated but it is wide of slip and to the left of deep third.
-
3.10Josh Hazlewood to Phil Salt
On a good length, outside off, perhaps a slower ball. Phil Salt looked to defend but the ball seemed to lift again, taking him by surprise. Tried to take his hand off the willow but got late. Gets beaten.
-

WIDE. Third of the over. Another one down the leg side and Duckett cannot connect with his flick.
-
2.40Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett
Gets it right this time, does Starc and as soon as he does, causes problems. Full and just outside off, Ben Duckett looks to drive it back down the ground but is beaten by the late movement.
-
2.41 wdMitchell Starc to Ben Duckett
WIDE AGAIN. Overcorrection from Starc. He tries to go away from the leg stump, goes away from the off instead. And too far outside off. BD thinks about going after it but lets it be.
-
2.41 wdMitchell Starc to Ben Duckett
WIDE. Starc struggling with his line now, slips this down the leg side. Ben cannot connect with his flick.
-
2.34Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett
FOUR! Excellent from Duckett. There is no swing on this occasion and Starc gets too straight. Very full again and Ben Duckett just thumps it through mid-wicket, with a strong bottom-hand punch.
-
2.20Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett
Little bit of outswing on this occasion, full outside off, Duckett pushes it back to the bowler.
-
2.12Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett
Yorker, outside off, Ben Duckett squeezes it through the covers for a couple. 258 more needed from 287 balls.
-
1.60Josh Hazlewood to Phil Salt
EDGED, DROPPED! Well, Ponting questions - why isn't Steven Smith at second slip? Hazlewood maintains that channel outside off, on a good length and makes Salt feel for it. The outside edge is generates this time and it flies towards first slip but dipping on its way. Matthew Short takes the decision to go to his left from second slip, gets his left hand to it but the ball does not stick. An eventful over.
-
1.50Josh Hazlewood to Phil Salt
Huge appeal for caught behind! Carey is excited, so is the slip cordon but Hazlewood seemed to join the bandwagon a bit late. Salt seems unfazed. Marsh reviews. It was a good-length ball, just outside off, nipping back in. Phil Salt looked to defend but the ball suddenly generated extra bounce and whizzed past. There seemed to be a noise when the ball went past and the ring of fielders between cover and point came steaming in, excited that they heard something. However, UltraEdge detects nothing and Australia lose a review.
-
1.41Josh Hazlewood to Ben Duckett
On a good length, around middle, BD looks to dab it towards deep third but gets a bit of an outside edge. The ball lands in front of gully where Steven Smith dives to his left and makes a half stop. The ball deflects away and the openers cross.
-
1.30Josh Hazlewood to Ben Duckett
Length ball, just around off, Ben thinks about playing at it, then thinks better of it, but is late in taking his bat away and is beaten.
-
1.22Josh Hazlewood to Ben Duckett
On a good length again, this time outside off, Duckett punches this back down the ground. Bisects mid on and mid off but Marnus Labuschagne from mid off gets to the ball, slides near the ropes and drags it back in. Two runs taken.
