Nathan Ellis to Ross Adair, out Bowled!! Oh dear! Things are going pear shaped for the Irish - Ellis starts with a slower ball - flicked off his hand and Adair didn't pick it up at all - backs away and looks to nudge it onto the on-side, he's completely undone, done like a kipper and plays all around the ball. The ball clips the pad and then crashes into the middle-stump - Ellis beams in happiness and Australia have started well with the ball. Ross Adair b Nathan Ellis 12(9) [4s-1 6s-1]
