Mark Wood to Maxwell, FOUR, gee! How good was the timing on that shot? Just a back foot punch from Maxi, he stands tall to the short of length delivery and meets it very well, beats the diving cover to his left and then the man approaching from sweeper cover as well. Off the mark in grand style

16.5 -
Adil Rashid to Smith, FOUR, how did that go to the fence? Unbelievable timing on the flick. It seemed a mere flick off the legs worth one or two at best, but he misses the diving backward square leg in the ring and the man at deep square leg had no chance as it ran away to the ropes. Adil Rashid and England can't believe the timing behind the shot
16.1 -

37.0 -
Adil Rashid to Wade, out Watson Run Out!! What have you done Matthew Wade? He's sold Watto down the river. Poor call from the left-hander, there was never a run in it. Australia have lost two wickets for 1 run now. Googly outside off stump, Wade pushes it to the right of cover and sets off, Stokes swiftly moves to his right and fires a throw adjacent to the stumps, Buttler does the rest. Watson was not even in the picture. Watson run out (Stokes/Buttler) 6(11)
35.3 -
Mark Wood to Maxwell, out Caught by Buttler!! Appeal from England and umpire Joel Wilson raises his finger. Maxwell ponders the review, meanwhile, as the umpires converge, he asks if they are checking if it was a clean catch, but the umpires were quite happy with what they saw and Maxi makes the walk back. This is a lucky wicket for Wood. Certainly not a wicket-taking delivery but he's got the big wicket of Maxwell. This could make a difference of at least 15-20 runs to the final score. Fullish and sliding down the leg-side, Maxwell tries to help it on its way to fine leg, but gets a faint tickle, Buttler dives low to his left and takes a good catch. Maxwell c Buttler b Mark Wood 15(15) [4s-1]
32.2 -
Adil Rashid to Bailey, out Lbw!! That is plumb. The skidder from Adil Rashid and he gets his fourth wicket. Bailey made the mistake of going back to flick that away and missed, was struck in-line with middle and the ball would've gone onto hit middle. Easy decision for the umpire. Adil Rashid is all smiles. He punches the air in delight as he does a fist pump. Bailey lbw b Adil Rashid 23(16) [4s-1 6s-1]
31.0 -
Adil Rashid to Smith, out Caught by Stokes!! Oh dear! He's hit a full toss to hand. Smith is livid with himself, almost hits the bat into the ground in disappointment. It was a full toss around off stump line, Smith tries to whip it away in style, he was looking to hit it between long-on and deep mid-wicket, but hit it more towards the latter, who ran forward and took a comfortable catch. Big, big wicket for England. Smith was looking very good for a big one. Wicket number three for Adil Rashid. Smith c Stokes b Adil Rashid 44(54) [4s-3 6s-1]
26.2 -
Adil Rashid to Warner, out Caught by Woakes!! That's why Adil Rashid was brought in. To get a wicket. Warner has holed out and he leans on his bat handle in disappointment after the catch is taken. This was tossed up on the stumps, was the googly too, Warner backed away and looked to go over cover, the thick outside edge lands safely in backward point's hands. That is a big wicket and understandably Adil Rashid is delighted. Warner c Woakes b Adil Rashid 59(67) [4s-6]
14.3 -
Adil Rashid to Burns, out Caught&Bowled!! Burns has thrown it away. A full toss and he has hit it straight back to the bowler. That is a wicket gifted. Down the track once more, takes it on the full, driven in the air and Adil Rashid takes a sharp catch. Reverse-cupping it - he was ready when the catch came his way. End of a promising innings. Burns c and b Adil Rashid 44(53) [4s-5]
