lovely cut shot! Short of a length delivery rising tall, Head jumps, gets on top of the bounce and cuts it with great control. He rolled the wrists to keep it along the ground and it rocketed past backward point

Kwena Maphaka to Head, FOUR

that was a short ball outside off stump, well outside off stump in fact but Head decides to fetch the pull to the on-side and flat-batted it down the ground past his captain at the other end. Mid-on had no chance. Marsh had to get out of the way

Mulder to Mitchell Marsh, SIX

he's a bully if you don't get your length right. Short of a length and angling down leg, the moment he knew he could access leg-side Marsh rocked back and smashed the pull shot and never had intentions to keep it down. Cleared the square fence easily

Connolly to Kwena Maphaka, no run

Connolly to Maharaj, out Stumped!! And he does have a fifer indeed. He cannot help but sport a big smile. Came in to offer some runs with the bat and maybe a few overs. Didn't get the chance to bat and here he is enjoying his . What a day for him. He raises the ball to acknowledge the applause and each of his teammates enjoyed that feat

which is great see. Maharaj felt he had enough of nudging and decided to step out and play an aggressive shot. Alert Connolly dropped it short and got it to turn away a bit. Maharaj couldn't connect and Josh Inglis was ready with the gather and stuumping. B2$

Connolly to Corbin Bosch, out Caught by Labuschagne!! Marnus it is again

this time taking a well judged catch overhead very mindful of the rope behind. There was a chirp of Connolly picking up a fifer and he's got four now with two wickets left. The obvious tease from the bowler - that's the luxury of a huge total on the board. Bosch goes for glory, but hits it flat and Marnus plucks it just inside the boundary.

Connolly to Maharaj, 1 run

Connolly to Mulder, out Caught by Labuschagne!! And there goes ! You might not give him a chance with the bat because the team has got a great start. You might not give him the ball because the opposition has lost the way but he shows he can still grab the limelight flying around in the field to take a catch. The third ump checks if he picked it up from the ground and thankfully the third ump sees B2$. These replays so often can be iffy even if the fielder has taken it neat. So Connolly threw it up and asked Mulder to have a go. He did go but he went hard and so flat. The ball wasn't carrying to long-on. Marnus ran in

dived full length forward. Got both hands to it, bounced off the right hand as his fingers were pointing down on the dive. But he closed it with the left hand and importantly had his fingers cushioned under it. B3$

Connolly to Corbin Bosch, no run

Connolly to Brevis, out Caught by Green!! And he's fallen in the trap. The idea was to make him play big shots

not that he wouldn't do otherwise. It was either full or filth to trick him into a mishit. Here full credit to Connolly for firing it really full without giving him room. Brevis couldn't exactly get under the ball so he hit it flatter and a man as tall as Chris Green was always going to be tough to clear the ropes. Shame that he missed his deserved fifty by a run. Australia have almost sealed this game now if not earlier.

Connolly to Mulder, 1 run

shortish delivery, Mulder cuts square of the wicket on the off-side

Zampa to Brevis, SIX

it's short, he quickly picks up length, rocks back and leaves nothing in the tank as he attempts the ball. The result is a lot of force on the ball and the distance is achieved quite easily despite not being middled. Stands there and enjoys the shot. The ball is lost in the stands. Now they have found it

Zampa to Mulder, 1 run

flatter delivery, Mulder sends it to deep cover

Connolly to Mulder, 1 run

pushed to deep cover

Connolly to Mulder, no run

now tries the paddle, mistimes to backward square leg. Oh dear, mix-up and Brevis slips after Mulder confused him midway. Manages to sort out his footing and reverses home with a dive. under pressure and misses an easy runout chance. Was always a risky run and Mulder doubted it after taking a few steps forward. Brevis was fully committed until he saw his partner

Bartlett to Brevis, SIX

short and punished! Brevis gets into a good position, rocks back in the crease and pulls the short ball over fine leg for half-a-dozen. He played a few excellent knocks in the T20I series. Can he play a special knock in this format too?
