Brydon Carse to Head, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! That's a peach from Carse. Scrambled seam delivery, pitches around leg and nips away, Head is rooted to the crease as he tries to defend, but the ball beats the outside edge and hits the top of off-stump. He needed to be forward for that, but that's how Head plays. He camped back, stayed leg-side of the ball and played down the wrong line. Anyway, England keep chipping away, Australia are effectively 125/4. Head b Brydon Carse 46(67) [4s-4]
