Josh Hazlewood	9.1	0	57	1	6.21	25	6	0	1	0
49.1 to L Ngidi, bowled him! 137kph, good length into the top of off, Ngidi tries to glide it to third man and loses the top of off!. 277/10
Xavier Bartlett	9	1	45	2	5.00	26	5	0	1	0
1.4 to AK Markram, chipped to square midwicket! Back of a length on leg, Markram was surprised by Bartlett's lack of pace, he works off the hip but chips it in the air straight to Head at square midwicket who made a simple catch look slightly awkward but he held on. 2/1 5.4 to RD Rickelton, edged and brilliantly taken by Inglis! Good length, angled across, wobble seam, it nibbles away, he pushes at it and gets a thick edge, Inglis dives full stretch low to his left and pouches it with two hands. 23/2
Aaron Hardie	4	0	35	0	8.75	9	3	2	1	0
Nathan Ellis	10	0	46	2	4.60	33	4	0	2	1
30.6 to MP Breetzke, short, pulled high in the air, taken at deep square leg! Huge wicket. Change of angle, round the wicket, went short, he took it on again, can't control this one and Carey judges it nicely in the deep. No gloves needed. 179/4 32.6 to D Brevis, Ellis does it again with a short ball! Green takes the catch at deep square! Banged in short, on pace, seam up, it hurried on and cramped him at chest height, he takes on the pull but miscues to the long boundary and Green takes a comfortable catch looking into the sun. 185/5
Adam Zampa	10	0	63	3	6.30	23	3	2	1	0
15.6 to T de Zorzi, gone this time! Another leading edge, this one loops slowly straight down the pitch and it's a simple catch. Didn't need to move. 90/3 43.1 to T Stubbs, skied high down the ground and Green takes the catch! Tossed up on off, he tries to slog sweep over deep midwicket against the turn, he skies it off the outside half of the bat high to straight long-on and Green cruises in to take the catch. 245/8 45.5 to N Burger, holes out to long-off! Green pouches this running to his left. Wrong un tossed up outside off, he tries to launch but doesn't flush it, Green runs hard to his left and takes a superb catch sliding after running a long way. 264/9
Travis Head	2	0	12	0	6.00	3	1	0	0	0
Marnus Labuschagne	5	0	19	2	3.80	12	0	0	0	0
40.1 to PWA Mulder, holes out to long-on! Labuschagne might want more than one over! Tossed up outside off, he tries to slog sweep from outside off against the turn into the breeze and doesn't get any of it. Green is 10 metres in from the rope at long-on and takes it easily. 233/6 42.1 to S Muthusamy, knee high full toss hit straight to deep midwicket! Labuschagne is all smiles. This was a rank knee high full toss that should have been hit to the local beach but Muthusamy miscues and Hardie takes the catch on the rope at deep midwicket. 243/7

Nandre Burger	6	0	23	2	3.83	26	4	0	1	0
2.2 to TM Head, very high...and taken at mid-on! Big early wicket. Head looking to loft down the ground, gets too far underneath, comes from the bottom of the bat. Markram backtracks a little outside the ring and takes it safely. 6/1 27.3 to AT Carey, sharp catch by Brevis at backward point! Back of a length wide of off, there to hit, Carey throws the hands at it but slices it flat and low to Brevis who pouches it at knee height. 133/5
Lungi Ngidi	8.4	1	42	5	4.84	31	6	0	0	0
3.3 to M Labuschagne, edged, gone! Ngidi strikes. A little wider outside off, Labuschagne goes for the drive, nibbles off the seam and it's a regulation snick to the keeper. 7/2 33.3 to AM Hardie, caught and bowled! Superb bowling and catching from Ngidi. 108kph slower ball, the offspinner, it completely deceives Hardie who chips it back with firm hands, Ngidi dives to his right and takes the catch very well in his follow through. 175/6 35.1 to JP Inglis, edged, gone! Surely that's the game. Gives himself room outside leg stump, drives at a very full ball, comes from the bottom of the bat through to the keeper. Ends a superb innings. 184/7 35.4 to XC Bartlett, pulled high into the on side, taken at mid-on! Ngidi has four. Dropped in short, Bartlett tried to pull it over the on side but ended up much like Marsh's dismissal. 185/8 37.4 to A Zampa, and that's it, five for Ngidi! Short of a length, Zampa looks to take it over the leg side, sends it high in the air and a simple catch at mid-on. Bosch with a collection of catches that won't go on his record. 193/10
Keshav Maharaj	8	0	40	0	5.00	24	5	0	0	0
Wiaan Mulder	5	0	31	1	6.20	17	3	1	0	0
9.2 to MR Marsh, taken at mid-on! Australia's problems grow. Short of a length, Marsh aiming to pull over the on side as he does so often, but sends it straight up in the air and doesn't get further than the edge of the circle. 38/3
Senuran Muthusamy	8	0	30	2	3.75	25	0	1	0	0
22.3 to C Green, a catch is held! Muthusamy takes a return chance! Beautifully bowled and caught. Tossed up, slightly slower, it drops on Green as he skips down and tries to work against the turn to long-on, gets a leading edge low back to the bowler and he does well to get the fingers under it. 105/4 36.6 to NT Ellis, gone this time! Charges down, swings across the line, simple stumping. 189/9
