    1.6 ohh, Prabhsimran and Sindhu, approaching from cover, collide!! Owen is eventually caught by Prabhsimran, but more importantly, neither player is hurt. Owen went to pull hard at this short delivery around sixth stump, but the extra bounce meant he got a top edge. The ball ballooned up a long way, and although Prabh rushed forward while calling for the catch, Sindhu still went ahead for the catch 23/1
    3.5 another wicket off a short ball. Thakur hardly even reacts despite striking again. Patidar is on the edge of the circle at square leg, and takes a simple catch. Thakur bowled it short and just outside off, and the ball skidded through to Konstas. The latter went for the pull, but the ball went off the higher side of the bat 30/2
    4.2 brilliant catch by Padikkal!! He dives full stretch to his right from slip, and takes a great catch. But hang on, the umpire wants the third umpire to confirm if the catch was clean. The first slow-motion replay suggests Padikkal has done well, and the third umpire agrees. India A have found their footing after looking clueless in the first two overs. Arshad angled it across and bowled on a length on off, and Philippe went for a drive. He got an outside edge, though, and would've thought he was safe only for Padikkal to intervene 30/3
    47.3 an appeal and given out. McSweeney will review but looks like he has started to walk off. Was a length ball that came in - did he roll his fingers over it - to hit the back leg as the batter went for the flick. There was an inside edge on it that carried to the keeper after hitting the back leg. McSweeney walks for 123, and Australia are nine down 269/9
    13.3 extra bounce does the trick. Scott went for the cut but ended up miscuing it to short third for an easy catch 77/4
    16.4 an excellent catch by Roy! Chaudhary has been done in by extra bounce. Shedge bangs it short once again. Chaudhary was looking to work it on the leg side and gets a leading edge towards backward point. Roy charges in and puts in a dive to complete the catch. Australia five down for 87 87/5
    39.6 bowled 'im! Shedge breaks the stand. Was a length ball around off that nipped back just enough to beat the inside edge on the push and rattle the stumps 228/6
    41.5 Shedge picks up another - his third. A length ball outside off from around the wicket. Murphy pushes at it and gets a faint edge to the keeper. An celebrappeal and the finger goes up 238/7
    41.6 almost an action replay of the last ball. A length delivery outside off and Johnson pushes at it. An outside edge, and Prabhsimran takes a good catch, on the volley. Shedge will be on a hat-trick when he bowls his next over 238/8

    1.4 "Woohoooo", is the cry from Australia A's players, as Sai has to depart. He's nearly cramped for room by this bouncer at 135kph. Beardman banged it on leg stump or just outside, as the ball went from close to Sai's throat. Sai went for the hook, but ended up gloving it to the keeper as the ball went over the bat 12/1
    3.5 slashed to point. Beardman trimming India's batting. Prabh falls to an aerial shot too. The man at point is placed in a few steps inside the circle, and Prabh finds him bang on. He leaps in the crease to try and hack at this short-of-a-length ball outside off, but bang where Choudhary was placed 24/3
    3.2 lofted to mid-off!! Padikkal falls without scoring. The ball flew off the bat, giving the impression that it was four. But the fielder at mid-off moved a step to his left to take it with a reverse cup. Beardman went on the fuller side after going short last ball, and Padikkal went for an aerial shot, only to fall to a simple catch 23/2
    12.1 taken at backward point, that's the end of Gaikwad. A length ball angling across. Gaikwad pushes at it, away from the body, and ends up hitting it in the air. Straight to the fielder 58/4
    26.4 another India A batter departs off the short ball. Patidar falls, and India A fall miles behind. Konstas remains active in the field, as he watches this skied ball fall into his hands at deep-backward square leg. Short delivery from Owen, who gets it to rise despite not having as high pace as some of his colleagues. Patidar went pulling, but got it off the higher side of the bat 138/7
    22.2 superb catch by Konstas!! He may have ripped out a lot of hopes from this chase. Sindhu looks on in disbelieve. The third umpire, though, will confirm if the catch was clean. Konstas was at deep cover point, and he ran well forward and slightly across to his left, before diving forward to complete the catch. It hardly takes a second or two for the third umpire to confirm that. It was a mistimed loft off a fullish length outside off, as Sindhu looked to go inside out but couldn't get it away 105/5
    23.4 gone!! Shedge throws it away. Australia A are chipping away. Beardman has bowled at high pace today, and this ball seemed to skid through off a short of a length. There was extra bounce, and that proved too much for Shedge to try and have a swat down the ground. He ended up finding the mid-on fielder to depart early 118/6
    30.6 Nigam departs as well. Attempts a slog sweep but ends up top-edging it towards mid-off. An easy catch there for Shaw, the substitute 149/9
    30.4 run-out!! Roy wanted a second, but was sent back by Nigam. Roy punched this length ball around off towards deep midwicket, and Owen threw it bang on to Murphy, who whipped the bails off 149/8
    31.4 that's it. A tame dismissal. Chips a length ball to cover 149/10
