47.4 to NA Saini, and all over...Saini almost scoops this to gully, it's very full outside off, looking to guide it through backward point and offers Connolly a simple catch. O'Neill closes things out with his first wicket. 107/10
Jordan Buckingham	10	3	18	2	1.80	47	0	0	0	0
1.1 to RD Gaikwad, has he gone first ball? Yes, he has! A brilliant diving catch by Philippe, full stretch to his left, as Gaikwad looked to glance this fine and Australia A on the board early. 0/1 7.5 to AR Easwaran, lovely bowling, caught behind! In the channel from Buckingham, just outside off stump, hint of movement and the natural bounce he gets. Nicks the edge for a regulation chance. 17/2
Todd Murphy	10	0	26	1	2.60	46	2	1	0	0
28.3 to B Indrajith, the resistance is broken, just before lunch. Indrajith using his feet to Murphy, he's not to the pitch so looks to defend, the ball balloons up to short leg and it's give. Indrajith doesn't look happy with the decision. 71/4
Brendan Doggett	11	6	15	6	1.36	59	0	0	0	1
13.6 to B Sai Sudharsan, edge, taken behind! Length ball angled across outside off, Sudharsan pushing with hard hands, takes the edge and snaffled by Philippe. Doggett opens his account as India A stumble. 32/3 31.5 to Ishan Kishan, a flashing edge, another catch for Philippe! Kishan was always likely to try and attack, his eyes lit up a bit of width outside off, threw everything into a cut and it takes the top edge. The bounce, again, causing a few problems. 77/5 33.3 to D Padikkal, driving, caught behind! India A's mainstay goes. Full outside off, Padikkal goes for the drive, it's another thin edge through to the keeper. 78/6 35.4 to K Nitish Kumar Reddy, short ball, top edge, simple catch! Doggett has four. India A in a mess. Reddy tried to take it on with the pull, perhaps done for a bit of pace, it splices up into the leg side and Konstas takes it a square leg. 79/7 39.4 to MJ Suthar, very full, and given! Doggett has five. Straight at middle, it actually hits Suthar on the full as he steps across the crease, huge appeal and the finger goes up. What a day for Doggett, who was only added to this side as an injury replacement. 82/8 41.4 to M Prasidh Krishna, and now he has six! Straight through Krishna with a lovely ball that straightened late to beat the outside edge. 86/9

0.3 to SJ Konstas, he's gone third ball! Looking drive against a fullish ball outside off, gets an edge through to the keeper in a style we've seen plenty of today. One of Australia's opening contenders goes for a duck. 0/1 27.3 to BJ Webster, . 73/4 44.6 to C Connolly, . 124/5 46.5 to JR Philippe, . 134/6 60.2 to B Doggett, . 186/9 62.4 to T Murphy, . 195/10
Prasidh Krishna	18	3	59	3	3.27	81	8	0	0	0
3.5 to CT Bancroft, given caught down the leg side! Bancroft can't believe it. Short of a length, angling into the hip, there is a deflection...but the reverse replay confirms it's all thigh pad. That's a rough one for Bancroft.. 9/2 11.3 to MS Harris, edged, taken at second slip! Harris can't make the most of his life. Round the wicket from Krishna, short of a length, Harris flashes at it, takes the top and it's a sharp catch. Australia A's top three have all failed to take their chance. 26/3 57.5 to F O'Neill, . 177/8

8.4 to SJ Konstas, shoulders arms, and loses off stump! Konstas was looking pretty good, but he's gone now. Moment of misjudgment but a good delivery from Mukesh which came back sharply from off stump. The timber goes flying out of the ground. 22/1
Prasidh Krishna	13	3	27	1	2.07	63	3	0	0	0
