Over 1.2 Chris Woakes bowls a short and rising delivery to David Warner,  out Caught by Buttler!!  Warner is unsure of his defence, not fully back, not forward, just an ill-advised poke away from the body looking to a late guide behind point. Thin edge through to Buttler.

Over 2.1 Chris Jordan bowls it short of length to Steven Smith, out Caught by Woakes!! Smith looks to pull this from well outside off, and the ball doesn't quite come on and lobs up off the toe end. It looks like it will clear mid-on, but Woakes back-pedals and plucks it one-handed above his hand

Over 3.5 Chris Woakes bowls a good length delivery to GJ Maxwell, out Lbw!! Maxwell's front foot pointing towards extra-cover and then he tries a slog to the leg-side. What a horrible tangle he got into. Discussed with Finch for the review. They probably thought they would save the review with the umpire's call but ball tracker said smashing leg stump

Over 6.1 Adil Rashid bowls a quicker arm ball to Marcus Stoinis, out Lbw!!

Over 11.4 Liam Livingstone tossed up delivery to Matthew Wade, out Caught by Roy!! Wade backed himself to clear long-on with his left, but the timing went awry. Off the lower part of the bat and Roy takes a reverse-cup catch. 

Over 17.4 Tymal Mills bowls a good length delivery to Ashton Agar,  out Caught by Livingstone!! Agar made good contact with his pull shot. But he hit it flat and got the placement wrong. Livingstone runs to his left from deep mid-wicket and snaffles with both hands. 

Over 18.1 Chris Jordan bowls a good length delivery to Aaron Finch,  out Caught by Bairstow!!  Finch doesn't quite middle the lofted off-drive. The ball was dying on him, but Bairstow charged in from long-off and dived forward to complete the catch in the deep.

Over 18.2 Chris Jordan bowls a yorker right into the blockhole to Pat Cummins, out Bowled!

Over 19.4 Tymal Mills bowls a slower one to Adam Zampa,  out Zampa Run Out!! 

Over 19.6 Tymal Mills bowls it short of length to Mitchell Starc, out Caught by Buttler! Starc backs away in the crease and tries to cut hjard, the ball takes the outside edge and Buttler takes a simple catch behind the stumps.
