Meredith to Warner, FOUR, that's a top shot! Yorker on middle, not much wrong with it at all, Warner stayed deep in his crease and just knocked it straight back down the ground, timed it so well and the men at long-on and long-off were quite square, they couldn't get to it
94
W
David Payne to Jamie Overton, out Caught by Walter!! Chance and gobbled up easily! Slower length delivery on middle-leg, into the pitch and it doesn't come on to the bat, Jamie Overton just looks to loft it through the line and is through his shot too early, ends up chipping it in the air and Walter moves to his right at long-on to complete an easy catch. Jamie Overton c Walter b David Payne 0(2)

David Payne to Warner, out Sean Dickson Run Out!! 1 run completed. Oopsie! The free-hit has cost the Spirit a wicket! David Payne nailed the yorker on leg-stump, Warner squeezed it out towards square leg off the inside edge, the bowler got to it himself and flung it back to the keeper as Sean Dickson was looking for a second, wasn't on and the batter was just short of his ground. Sean Dickson run out (David Payne/Bairstow) 14(9) [4s-2]

David Payne to Warner, no ball, FOUR, that's experienced batting! Slower delivery pitched up full on off-stump, Warner just pushed it back uppishly and it went for one-bounce four, what's worse for David Payne is that it's a no-ball!
89

Chris Green to Warner, FOUR, overpitched and punished! Tossed up very full on off-stump, Sean Dickson stays leg-side and clears his front-leg before carving it up and over extra cover
85
4
Walter to Sean Dickson, FOUR, that's a terrific shot! Full and just outside off, Sean Dickson just reverse-scoops it nonchalantly over short third man, used the pace nicely and it nearly went all the way
82
Walter to Warner, 1 run, dropped! Another tough return chance! Length delivery on middle-leg, followed him again as he backed away and Warner smacked it back to Walter's right, just didn't stick even after he got both hands to it
80
M
Meredith to Warner, 1 run, that's fifty for Warner! Not his smoothest but he's steered this innings along, length delivery outside off, slashed out towards deep backward point
78
4
Meredith to Sean Dickson, FOUR, nice shot! Full on middle-leg, Sean Dickson cleared his front-leg and just lofted it through the line and over mid-wicket, just pure timing that
76
W
Meredith to Turner, out Caught by Smith!! There was a cry of "no!" as soon as he hit that! Three Aussies involved in this dismissal. Slower length delivery on middle-leg, Turner backed away to create room and he slapped it straight to Steve Smith at mid-off. He couldn't get the elevation he was looking for. Another nice little innings though, it's kept the Spirit going. Turner c Smith b Meredith 24(14) [4s-4]

Josh Hull to Turner, FOUR, slashed just past backward point! Length delivery on off-stump, looked like a leg cutter, Turner stayed leg-side and slashed it hard towards backward point, beat the man there for pace, wasn't too far away to his right
73

Josh Hull to Turner, FOUR, clever batting! Short on middle-leg, Turner arched back and just used the pace to ramp this over short third man
72
4
Josh Hull to Turner, FOUR, short of length on off-stump, Turner gets front-on and flat-bats it this back over mid-off
70
Walter to Warner, no run, banged in short on middle-leg, Warner gets under it looking to hook and it zips through, just a polite question from the keeper and bowler and somehow they convinced the skipper to take this upstairs, absolutely nothing on it. Review lost!

Walter to Turner, FOUR, he's found the gap this time! Slower length delivery on middle, Turner shuffled across and muscled it away to the square leg ropes, struck hard and it beat the fielder

Saif Zaib to Warner, FOUR, reverse-slapped! Length delivery on middle-leg, Warner set up for the shot early, got it where he wanted and thumped it over backward point
58
W
Josh Hull to Jamie Smith, out Caught by Wells!! Gone this time! Josh Hull has the last laugh! Length delivery on middle-leg, hits the pitch hard and it nips away ever so slightly, Jamie Smith was down the pitch again looking to hack it across the line, this time it caught the outer half of the blade and went straight up, Wells settled under it at backward point and took it easily. Nice little cameo from Jamie Smith, it's given his side some much-needed impetus through the middle. Jamie Smith c Wells b Josh Hull 26(14) [4s-2 6s-2]

Josh Hull to Jamie Smith, FOUR, and again! This time it goes over his head and lands inside the ropes! The fielder was off the ropes to save two, short of length on middle-leg, Jamie Smith heaved it away towards deep mid-wicket again and it wasn't quite so clean as the last one, it went over the fielder's head, just landed inside the ropes
56
6
Josh Hull to Jamie Smith, SIX, dismissive! Length delivery on middle-leg, bit of a half-tracker and it sat up, Jamie Smith stood tall and lugged it away over deep mid-wicket, man on the ropes was a few yards in and it just about cleared the ropes, would've been out had the man been on the ropes
55
6
Chris Green to Jamie Smith, SIX, third six of the set! Length delivery on middle-leg, Jamie Smith went deep in his crease before pumping it over wide long-on, extended his long levers and it sailed over
53
6
Chris Green to Warner, SIX, much cleaner strike! Flat and full on off-stump, in the slot and Warner drilled it back over the bowler's head, straight back into the sight-screen
51

Chris Green to Warner, SIX, just over! Tossed up full just outside off, Warner stepped out and carved it back down the ground, had just enough to clear even Paul Walter down at long-off, only just!

Meredith to Jamie Smith, FOUR, freebies, full and sliding down leg, Jamie Smith just tickles it fine and it races down to the ropes
42
Meredith to Jamie Smith, 2 runs, high in the air but safe! Short and outside off, Jamie Smith heaved it into the leg-side and it got a little big on him, went up and just cleared mid-wicket who was running back
36
Chris Green to Jamie Smith, 1 run, dropped! Tough return chance goes down, tossed up full outside off, Jamie Smith got forward and jabbed it back hard to Green's right, he stuck his right hand out and it hit him on the wrist. That's hurt him, he's called for the physio straightaway
34
W
Josh Hull to Williamson, out Caught by Walter!! Very scratchy knock from Williamson comes to an end! He struggled for timing pretty much throughout and he's gone now. Length delivery on middle-leg, Williamson stepped out looking to loft this over long-on, didn't get anywhere close to it but went through with the shot anyway, he didn't get it out of the middle and holed out to the tallest man in the field - Paul Walter down at long-on. Looked like he was through his shot a little early there, the ball really hasn't come on to the bat nicely so far. Williamson c Walter b Josh Hull 14(14) [6s-1]

Walter to Williamson, SIX, that's a clean strike and it should get Williamson going! Length delivery on middle, Williamson stepped out and give himself some room before smacking it straight back down the ground for a maximum

David Payne to Warner, FOUR, just over! Warner's got a lot of streaky runs today! Full on off-stump, he cleared his front-leg and just chipped it over mid-on, not cleanly struck at all but had just enough
16

Josh Hull to Warner, FOUR, he's not got hold of this but he'll get four! Length delivery wide outside off, Warner reached out and lugged it over mid-on, came off the toe end but still had enough to go for one-bounce four

David Payne to Warner, FOUR, fielder gets a hand on it but can't stop it, short of length just outside off, Warner gives it the charge and makes room before thumping it through cover, hit it hard and it raced down to the ropes

David Payne to Warner, FOUR, edged and into the gap! Length delivery shaping away on off-stump, Warner slashed at it and it took a thick outside edge before evading slip and also just about beating the man at short third, very streaky!
