    9.1 he strikes first ball! Huge moment after the two dropped chances. A short ball from Doggett, Khawaja goes for the hook, it takes a top edge and McAndrew (who had the catches dropped off him) makes good ground from long leg to hold a terrific catch 15/1
    11.4 and another! In the channel outside off, Lovell pushes at it and sends the edge through to Carey. Queensland in a mess after an extraordinary few overs 18/4
    10.4 flicked to leg gully! Marnus goes for a duck. Angled into the hip, Labuschagne shapes to flick it away and that's very sharply taken by Jake Lehmann around the corner 16/2
    10.5 what is going on?! McAndrew around the wicket, Clayton presses forward into a length ball, sets off for a single to cover, it's certainly not on, tries to turn around but Scott is able to hit direct to send South Australia into wild celebrations 16/3
    14.5 taken with a juggle! McDermott drives a return catch to Buckingham who doesn't take it cleanly, bobbles in front of his chest and he grabs the rebound. Not quite full enough for the shot. But, wait, the umpires are checking the front foot. The replay isn't perfectly side on and not very clear, it's tight but it goes Buckingham's way. Five down before lunch on the opening day 22/5
    27.1 given lbw! He goes across his crease and misses a straight delivery, shaping towards middle and leg. The little recovery stand is broken. Doggett's fine day continues 68/6
    29.2 Doggett has four! Full outside off, Neser goes for the drive, gets an edge and it's taken at first slip. McSweeney gets himself into a slightly awkward position, going reverse-cup quite low down, but holds on safely. Neser played well, but Queensland in massive trouble 81/7
    30.2 caught behind! McAndrew gets some reward. Full outswinger on a fifth stump line, Wildermuth is tempted to drive but his feet are stuck in concrete and gets a thin edge through to Carey 85/8
    35.5 sharp catch at a deep wide mid-on! The field is spread as Steketee tries to hit out. He flat bats a short ball with power straight to Buckingham at a deep wide mid-on and he hangs on. That was travelling. Doggett finishes with 6 for 31 95/10
    31.2 bowled him! Too quick, too good. Full, angled in towards middle, Swepson stays leg side and tries to drive, it swings past the outside edge and knocks back the top of off. Doggett has five in a Shield final for the second time in his career 86/9

    22.5 taken down the leg side! Queensland keep chipping away. Short of a length from round the wicket, McInerney looks to help it around to the on side, there's some glove or bottom edge in that as Peirson takes it to his right 65/4
    5.5 taken at third slip! Great piece of bowling. Good length outswinger at pace, enticing a full-blooded drive but it's not a half-volley, the thick edge flies head high to third slip and Lovell pouches it well 10/1
    10 stunning one-hander from Peirson! Excellent delivery, angled in on a good length, just straightens off the seam, McSweeney defends half-forward, gets a thick edge that flies low towards first slip, it would not have carried to Khawaja but Peirson dives full length to his right with one hand and plucks it in the right glove! 29/2
    18 caught at second slip! Full wide half-volley, there to be driven, Sangha plays for a hint of inswing and tries to hit it too straight through cover, gets a thick edge and McDermott clutches the waist high chance 41/3
    30.2 massive moment! Vidler has the huge wicket of the in-form Carey. It's a short ball, Carey goes for the pull and drags a bottom edge into leg stump. SA ahead, but not by much 104/5
    72.4 excellent catch running back from point! Full and wide, Lehmann opens the blade to go up and over point but gets under it too much, McDermott runs back with the flight and makes a tricky catch look very easy 271/10
    34.1 another down the leg side! What a day Vidler is having. A short ball, Scott goes for the pull and can only feather it through to the keeper. Queensland are back in this, big time 112/6
    53.1 fantastic catch! Swepson has struck with his first ball of the day, a long hop. A real drag down, Manenti goes for the pull and McDermott grabs it one-handed above his head at midwicket. Queensland needed that 184/7
    69.3 taken at first slip! Wildermuth delivers an excellent outswinger, perfect length, luring a push from McAndrew, he gets a thick edge and Khawaja takes the catch with ease at knee height 269/8
    69.5 And again! Second slip this time. Similar length outswinger on a fourth stump line, Doggett pushes at it with hard hands, gets a thick edge and McDermott moves to his left to take the knee high chance 269/9

    24.4 given lbw! The keeper is up. Lovell is trapped on the crease. Good length ball that nips back off the seam and stays down a touch, beats the inside edge and hits the inside of the front pad and the umpire gives him out! Lovell thinks it might have been sliding but it looked pretty good 85/2
    13.1 sharp catch at third slip! Short of a length outside off from over the wicket, Khawaja jabs at it as he gets squared up, the edge goes low into the cordon and is well held. Doggett the man again and breaks a solid start 39/1
    40.1 caught at deep square! Labuschagne has to got this time. Short ball into the ribs, he tries to roll a controlled pull around the corner and gets a top edge that flies to Sangha who is well placed at deep square to run in and take the simple catch. Doggett waits nervously as they check the replay on his front foot and he just has part of his heel behind the line 144/3

    101.3 he's gone now! Manenti with a massive breakthrough. Round the wicket, this slides on past the inside edge into the pads and the finger goes up. Manenti off in a huge celebration. That ends a tremendous effort from Clayton 324/7
    57.2 pinned lbw! Good length, nips back, squeezes past the inside edge and takes the back leg. Looked very good. Early strike for the brilliant Doggett 186/4
    60 he's done it again! Ten in the game for Doggett Full with some late movement in, strikes him below the knee roll and it's going nowhere but middle stump. What a game he's having 192/5
    81 last ball before lunch! The new ball strikes. After all that defensive hard work, Neser has a drive a wide delivery, well away from his body, and gets an edge through to Carey. South Australia move closer 221/6

    133.5 another five for Doggett! A short ball, he goes for the hook, takes the top edge and McAndrew does very well on the rope at long leg to take the catch, flick it up and regather it inside the boundary 438/9

    9.1 taken at second slip! Nerves jangling now! Steketee's first ball is a peach. Fifth stump line, hint of shape away, forces a nervous defensive push, extracts a thick edge and McDermott takes a good catch at knee height moving to his left 13/2
    2.2 caught at third slip! What a start for Queensland. Neser delivers the perfect wobble seam delivery, pitching on middle, nipping across the left-hander, he tries to defend, gets a thick edge and Lovell takes the catch easily 1/1
    15.4 caught behind! The skipper is gone. Back of a length, fifth stump, potentially doesn't need to play, he prods forward to defend, it bounces and seams away a touch to catch the edge, Peirson takes it with two hands diving away to his right. Excellent bowling 28/3

    61.5 chopped on! Carey falls for a brilliant century. From around the wicket, Steketee delivers a slower ball full toss wide of off, it dips on Carey as he drives and he drags it onto leg stump via the inside edge! 230/4
    66.4 chopped on! Swepson finally gets some reward. Shorter length from around the wicket, spinning sharply from the footmarks, he gives room to cut against the turn but drags it onto the stumps via the inside edge 255/5
    67.3 superb catch at square leg! Chest high short ball, he hammers a pull shot flat through square leg, McDermott dives to his right and plucks it with two hands. What a catch 260/6
