- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 gone. Ambati Rayudu takes a good catch, on the second attempt, at extra cover. It was a length ball, Short went for the cut but failed to keep it down. Rayudu stuck his right hand out, failed to latch on to it on the first attempt but grabbed the rebound with glee 26/17.3 gets a wicket in his first over and does a Dele Alli. Pitches it on the length, Khawaja was looking to work it on the leg side but ends up playing early, the wide first slip takes an easy catch 46/214.2 Gowtham floors middle and leg stumps. Head dares to foray down the track, Gowtham holds his own. He lobs it up full and gets it to sneak through the bat-pad gap as Head looks to whip... and plays all around it 69/412.1 Handscomb has been stumped off a leg-side wide. The batsman dares to step down the track, Gowtham is wary of it, as he shortens the length and gets it to break away down the leg side. The spinner leaves Handscomb overbalanced, he can't drag his bat back in time. It's in the air as Samson takes it down the leg side and flips the bails off 62/316.5 slides in with the arm from round the wicket, Renshaw stretches out for a sweep, but plays around this non-turner and is pinged below the knee-roll in line with middle. Three wickets in three overs for Gowtham 76/517.4 Siraj returns and has Carey nicking off to Samson. Just short of a good length and angling away outside off, Carey chases a cut. His foot is nowhere close to the pitch. He ends up feeding an outside edge to the keeper 78/630.1 strikes with his first ball. Starts with a flatter one outside off, but it turns big. Agar was shaping to cut it but fails to make any connection as the ball crashes into the stumps 138/923.5 Neser too nicks off to the keeper. This is hung up very full and very wide outside off - possibly a set of stumps wide outside off - there's also a slip in place but Neser throws his bat at a drive and edges it to Samson 106/725.1 Siraj finds the outside edge again, this flies into the lap of wide slip. Wide of the crease, angling in at off, makes the batsman poke at it, it straightens away just a bit to snaffle the outside edge, sharp catch at slip by Suryakumar Yadav 108/831.4 that's it. Chahar finishes off the innings. It was a knuckle ball, full on off stump, Swepson looks to drive it but gets beaten by the change of pace and the off stump is pegged back 151/10Extras11 (b 5, w 6)TOTAL151 all out (31.4 Overs, RR: 4.76)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (D'Arcy Short, 3.1 ov), 2-46 (Usman Khawaja, 7.3 ov), 3-62 (Peter Handscomb, 12.1 ov), 4-69 (Travis Head, 14.2 ov), 5-76 (Matt Renshaw, 16.5 ov), 6-78 (Alex Carey, 17.4 ov), 7-106 (Michael Neser, 23.5 ov), 8-108 (Jhye Richardson, 25.1 ov), 9-138 (Ashton Agar, 30.1 ov), 10-151 (Mitchell Swepson, 31.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 Angled in on a length, flicked away airborne and Michael Neser intercepts it, moving beautifully to his right, times his dive to perfection and takes a fine catch at midwicket to give Australia A a much needed breakthrough. 16/15.4 Upper cuts a wide a one but straight down third-man's throat. It was there to be hit, but Suryakumar hardly moved his backfoot, rendering it difficult for him to even reach the ball. Ends up getting a thick outside edge that carried to the fielder 21/34 two in two! Sanju Samson cleaned up first ball, off the inside edge. India A suddenly stuttering 16/213.1 tosses it up in time-honoured fashion, slower through the air as well, drawing Iyer into the stroke and spinning away at the last instant to the take the outside edge, to be taken by slip 29/436.5 Short lobs one up on off stump, and gets it to spin away from there. Since it starts on off stump, Pandya has to play at it. He wafts and edges it to first slip. Top ball from Short. No fifty for Pandya 138/5Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL152/5 (38.3 Overs, RR: 3.94)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Ravikumar Samarth, 3.5 ov), 2-16 (Sanju Samson, 3.6 ov), 3-21 (Suryakumar Yadav, 5.4 ov), 4-29 (Shreyas Iyer, 13.1 ov), 5-138 (Krunal Pandya, 36.5 ov)
