    8.4 finds midwicket! Short of a length, Bennett goes for the pull, sends it straight up in the air and a simple catch for Head. Bennett gives away a nice start. Perhaps hurried into the stroke a little 48/2

    6.1 appeal for a catch down the leg side! Not given. Marsh has called the review. Short, angling into the hip, Curran looking to help it around the corner. Is it hip or glove? It's taken the glove. Inglis was pretty convinced when he took it 34/1

    28.5 good length, on off, he works it wide of mid-on but he can't run. That's a hamstring strain and Kaia is going to retire hurt. He walks off very dejected. Raza comes out to bat and gives him a pat on the back 148/3

    14.3 through him! Lovely bowling. Taylor misjudges the length. Caught on the crease, it's a length ball that skids on past the inside. That was the flipper. Terrific stuff from Zampa 68/3

    41.2 popped to cover! A slower ball, full outside off, Madhevere is early on the shot as he pushes forward and it's a dolly of a catch. Looks quite soft but that's excellent bowling 212/5

    43.4 got him now! The plan has worked. A well-directed short ball this time, over middle stump, Evans gets a top edge and Inglis jumps to take it. That was called by Jason Gillespie in the commentary box 226/6

    44.5 fantastic delivery! Brilliant bowling. A pinpoint on-pace yorker, slams into Cremer's toe. Not much he could do about that. Doesn't even consider a review even though they have two left. Another superb display from Ellis 231/7

    3.1 caught behind off the inside edge! Brilliant delivery. Back of a length, fourth stump, it holds it's line rather than shaping away, Marsh played for shape and it takes the inside edge and Taylor takes the catch low down 25/2

    1.4 flicked straight to deep backward square! Burl takes the catch as the substitute. Full, shaping into middle, Head uses the bottom hand to flick it in the air but picks out the only man in the deep at backward square! Head will be annoyed 20/1

    12.5 bowled him through the gate! Perfect legspinner's dismissal to a left-hander! Good length leg break drifting wide of off, Connolly tries a loose drive on the up against the spin, it rips back through the gate and hits the top of off. Great delivery but not a good shot 77/3

    41.1 clean bowled! Inglis runs past one! He jumped down trying to go inside out over cover and got too far leg side, it didn't spin that much, beats the edge and crashes into the top of off! Is that the game? 227/8

    25.5 taken at point, brilliant catch! Third time in the series for Carey. Full outside from round the wicket, Carey drives on the up, Madhevere dives to his right - horizontal off the ground - and holds a blinder. Evans has got Carey each game, caught in almost the identical area 162/4

    28.5 through him! Pushed through quicker at the stumps, Renshaw on the back foot, looking to whip to the one side, plays all around it. Nice piece of bowling, but not Renshaw's best bit of shot selection 176/5

    35.4 given lbw! Peake reviews. What a delivery. 82kph, drifting into middle and leg, Peake caught on the crease tries to defend, it spins past the edge and hits the back pad infront of middle. Ball tracking has it hitting middle three-quarters of the way up. Absolutely plumb. 203/6

    36.4 huge lbw appeal given not out! Zimbabwe review. Brilliant wrong 'un that Bartlett did not pick playing back. No bat but did it spin too far? He was right back deep and was hit in front of leg but it did spin quite a bit. Not too much though! Smashing leg stump according to ball tracking! Decision over-turned. Bartlett has to go 206/7
