00:30Not sure what's running through the captain's mind here, this pitch will only get easier
00:39to bat on.
00:40So why bat now?
00:41The bowlers could have a field day.
00:54Stark has the privilege of bowling with the new ball.
00:57The umpires have signalled that they're ready.
00:59Let's get this game underway.
01:05Couldn't have played that any better.
01:08Really just seem to have put that one into the slot with the first ball to the new batter.
01:12All the same, it's a glorious shot for your first ball.
01:16Do they go full?
01:17Do they go short?
01:18A lot to ponder after the boundary.
01:25Straight to the fielder.
01:28Missed through the shot too early.
01:51Good running.
01:52It needed to be as well.
01:54Probably closer than they expected.
01:56The team will be after a positive innings from this batter.
01:59A great opportunity to come in and put some runs on the board.
02:09Really good shot there.
02:22Good return back from the deep.
02:24Immediately underway with some runs.
02:36Finds the fielder with that shot.
02:38Not a great delivery, got it full and lucky not to be hit to the boundary.
02:50Edged.
02:52This is out there on the short and wide one.
02:55That's the over.
02:56Scotland are none for eight.
03:03Cummins into the attack now from the members end.
03:20Finds the edge.
03:30Let's see if they can get the ball up into the slot like before.
03:33So crucial to follow up that last delivery and keep the batter under pressure.
03:41Huge edge.
03:51Time to keep the pressure on now.
03:53Great last ball to find the edge.
03:56It's just a case of finding the same spot.
04:02Couldn't get it through the field.
04:05A little late on that, no run scored.
04:25That was a tremendous delivery, fizzed through to the keeper.
04:28No more short balls, this over.
04:44Great shot.
04:45At least one on offer.
04:46Dives and takes a very good catch.
04:53It's the sort of dismissal that sees the momentum swing back to the bowler.
04:57Not for many.
04:59The field will come up now you'd think.
05:02Pressure should definitely be on the new batter who strides to the middle.
05:06They'll be looking for another quick wicket.
05:14Misses everything.
05:17Cummins with a superb delivery.
05:20Got them trying to drive but messing everything up.
05:37There'll be one run here for them.
05:40That gets things going.
05:46Nice to get settled, start to get your first runs.
05:50Zampa, the right armour, is coming into the attack from the great southern stand end.
05:57Timed that brilliantly.
05:59Lovely shot.
06:00Gets on the drive and just powers that one over the boundary.
06:03Wonderful timing.
06:12That's an unbelievable shot into the crowd.
06:15That ball has been hit.
06:17It has flown into the crowd.
06:19To get that much power coming forward on the front foot is ridiculous.
06:27Hit that hard.
06:28Nailed it.
06:30Gets onto the front foot and that shot is full of aggression.
06:34Went high and long over the rope.
06:46And gone.
06:47That's a fantastic catch.
07:02The trudge back to the pavilion.
07:03A good start but that's all they've managed.
07:06They did the hard work and threw it away in the end.
07:13Absolutely nailed it.
07:17Just missed the line.
07:18Not the worst delivery but that was dispatched with interest.
07:22And just watched that gnaw.
07:34Good bit of timing there.
07:37That was timed very, very well.
07:39Great shot.
07:40the ground and flew over the boundary.
08:02And the innings comes to an end.
08:23Australia will need 42 runs.
08:27The openers will be keen to knock off these runs quickly.
08:30Not a huge total to chase down.
08:32The bowlers will need to make early inroads if they're to make it interesting.
08:47Good runs.
08:48Good shot.
08:49First ball of the innings.
08:57A lot of pressure coming to the crease.
08:59Not had the best of weeks leading up to this game and we want to show everyone their strength.
09:12Good piece of fielding to stop some runs.
09:15Confusion written on the batter's faces.
09:18A mix up that almost led to a run out.
09:32Massive edge.
09:33Misses everyone and that's racing away.
09:41Brilliant bowling.
09:42Having got the edge of the previous ball, they now know the areas they need to be hitting.
09:50They'll get at least one.
10:01Got forward well and was able to drive the ball.
10:03Another lovely shot and good running.
10:14Yes.
10:15They'd look for a couple here.
10:23It was wide and suitably dealt with.
10:28Getting nicely settled at the crease now.
10:30Would have been really happy with that last shot.
10:39Doesn't beat the infield.
10:41No runs on that occasion.
10:42Got into position nicely just too early on the shot.
10:45Couldn't find a gap.
10:46Questions will begin to be asked.
10:48Should the captain make a change?
10:50A big over that one.
10:52Too many loose deliveries.
10:57Yes.
10:58Oh faintest of sounds.
11:00No one to catch it though.
11:02Didn't time it at all but managed to get it away to the boundary.
11:06It can be very disheartening seeing good deliveries smacked around.
11:09Sometimes you've just got to accept it and move on.
11:15Ease through the field.
11:17There will be runs here.
11:22I for one reckon that second run was on but clearly the batters knew better.
11:38Yes.
11:40Good shot.
11:41A beauty.
12:08Good return there.
12:12Back from the deep.
12:28Yes.
12:36Exquisitely done on the front foot.
12:38A gorgeous looking drive.
12:39Could have been worth more.
12:53Head over the ball.
12:54Great shot.
12:55That's racing away.
12:57Got it well enough to get it away to the boundary.
12:59A poor delivery and a fine shot in the end.
13:0316 runs added there.
13:05Australia are none for 28.
13:08The right arm medium bowler is coming into the attack from the members end.
13:21Dealt with that beautifully.
13:23Saw the short one and got out of the way.
13:25No more of those in this over.
13:39Yes.
14:05Well bowled.
14:07That was very close to clipping the top of the stumps.
14:09Played down the complete wrong line there.
14:27Yep.
14:28Struck it nicely.
14:29Could go to the boundary.
14:31Four runs.
14:33They were so still at the crease.
14:35That's a slight movement forward.
14:37Fabulous shots.
14:47Nice shot.
14:48Runs possible.
14:52Was that just a bit lazy with the running?
14:55Usually there'd be two there.
14:57Take a bit more initiative out there.
15:07Yes.
15:08There'll be runs here.
15:15Driven off the front foot.
15:16Fantastic cricket shot.
15:18Probably expected more there.
15:20Australia need a big one.
15:22The fielders need to protect the boundary.
15:25They will not mind giving up a single.
15:27Yes.
15:28Well placed.
15:29Should get a single.
15:34End of the over.
15:35Australia are none for 40.
15:39That's the end of the match.
15:40A great final over.
15:41Brilliant bowling.
15:42And very calm under pressure to...
