- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.6 moves towards the off side and looks to paddle it fine. Ends up exposing all the stumps, it's a length ball from Zampa, nice and straight and goes on to hit the leg stump 116/52.1 Vince's struggle comes to an end. Short of length at the batsman, Vince looks to clear mid-on but is cramped. The bottom hand comes off as well. A dolly for Coulter-Nile at mid-on 15/15.1 fuller around off and Smith goes for the slog sweep, ends up top-edging it. It's swirling in the air, towards deep midwicket. Handscomb settles under it and completes it with the fingers pointing upwards 49/26.6 bowled'im! A quicker one, slider at 93.3kph. Henriques goes for the cut but misses. The ball crashes into the leg stump, but there's hardly a reaction from the bowler. Just collects his cap from the umpire 67/37.2 and he departs first ball. Was a short-of-length ball, around off and angling in. Slower in the air and Hughes was early into the pull. Misses and is hit on the pad. Was it heading down? The umpire doesn't think so. Up goes the finger. Just clipping the leg bail, replay shows 68/4Extras7 (lb 3, w 4)TOTAL116/5 (12 Overs, RR: 9.66)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (James Vince, 2.1 ov), 2-49 (Steven Smith, 5.1 ov), 3-67 (Moises Henriques, 6.6 ov), 4-68 (Daniel Hughes, 7.2 ov), 5-116 (Josh Philippe, 11.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.4 holed out to deep midwicket! He picked him out! A shorter length again, he swivelled and hoicked it flat to deep forward square but straight to Sean Abbott! He had just been moved there after previous delivery 10/11.4 slower ball and he chips it to cover-point! A short slower ball, he tried to uppercut but completely miscued because of the slower ball and just spooned a simple catch to Vince at cover! 14/22.4 Given lbw! A huge decision in the context of the tournament! Tossed up on middle, he tried to sweep, it pitched and straightened and hit the front pad, Gerard Abood took an eternity but he gave it out! Height the only issue. It certainly straightened enough 18/34.1 Handscomb has been run out! Disastrous! Handscomb pushed a drive to long on, Handscomb jogged the first one, Larkin was pushing for two, he looked up and saw Handscomb and tried to stop, he slipped, Handscomb then ran after hearing a call and he was left stranded after Larkin slipped. 25/46.2 lbw! Another out sweeping! Flatter and quicker on off, he tried to sweep, beaten for pace and flush below the knee roll and it looked very very good. 40/58.5 holes out to deep midwicket! It was tossed up in outside off, he tries to slog sweep against the turn but doesn't get enough of it and picks out Abbott on the rope 54/6Extras0TOTAL97/6 (12 Overs, RR: 8.08)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Marcus Stoinis, 0.4 ov), 2-14 (Nic Maddinson, 1.4 ov), 3-18 (Glenn Maxwell, 2.4 ov), 4-25 (Peter Handscomb, 4.1 ov), 5-40 (Ben Dunk, 6.2 ov), 6-54 (Seb Gotch, 8.5 ov)
