- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.3 Short's back in the Australia squad but he's out of here! It was length around off, nipped back off the seam a touch, cut Short in half as he pushed outside the line and got an inside edge back to the keeper, gone for a three-ball duck 0/13.4 short ball does the trick! It was coming at him, at good pace, tennis ball like bounce again as he attempted a pull only for the top edge to balloon up towards the keeper for a simple catch 24/210.1 length on middle, makes room and has a slog, it hurries on to him and balloons up for the keeper to take the easiest of catches. Another one falls to the short one 56/59.3 that's another one to the short ball! Banged it in, not particularly high, he was itching to come forward so had no control over the attempted pull, got it high on the bat and not nearly enough power behind it, easily taken at long-on 55/39.6 short one at the body, too quick for Miller who is late on the pull and gloves it to the keeper 56/4Extras5 (b 2, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL69/5 (11 Overs, RR: 6.27)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (D'Arcy Short, 0.3 ov), 2-24 (Simon Milenko, 3.4 ov), 3-55 (Ben McDermott, 9.3 ov), 4-56 (David Miller, 9.6 ov), 5-56 (Caleb Jewell, 10.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.2 he's holed out to long-on! Sort of a length just outside off, looks to club that over midwicket, ends up slicing it and Miller hangs on 55/30.5 that looks plumb. Overpitched and coming in with the angle from off stump. He looks to drive for the one that straightens and is beaten big time on the inside edge. Feet are rooted to the crease and he's struck in front of middle 3/10.6 this looks good too! Superb from Faulkner. Swings a big one in again, from wide of the crease. He has completely ruined the batsmen so far with variations from where he's delivering the ball. This hoops in from off, beats his flick and catches him dead in front. Two sounds, but we'll have to wait and see if one of them was bat. He's on a hat-trick 3/2Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL55/3 (7.3 Overs, RR: 7.33)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Nic Maddinson, 0.5 ov), 2-3 (Nick Larkin, 0.6 ov), 3-55 (Marcus Stoinis, 7.2 ov)
