0.2  Mitchell Starc to Ben Dunk, One more to the total.  (1) 
0.3  Mitchell Starc to Tim Paine, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1) 
0.4  Mitchell Starc to Ben Dunk, And time for the reverse-sweep! Quite a daring and often needless shot if you ask me, but the batsman pulls it off well enough to get two more.  (2) 
0.5  Mitchell Starc to Ben Dunk,   (0) Full, wide, the batsman slashes hard at it and edges it straight to second slip! Out!

MELBOURNE STARS' INNINGS
Code:
0.1  Gurinder Sandhu to Peter Handscomb, Going, Going, Gone! Six Runs!  (6) 
0.2  Gurinder Sandhu to Peter Handscomb, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call.  (0) 
0.3  Gurinder Sandhu to Peter Handscomb, Very well bowled.  (0) 
0.4  Gurinder Sandhu to Peter Handscomb, Full toss, the batsman doesn't cash in and hits it straight to the man in the deep. Only one.  (1) 
0.5  Gurinder Sandhu to Luke Wright, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run.  (0) 
0.6  Gurinder Sandhu to Luke Wright, The batsman calls for a single, but hesitates and nearly gets his partner run out! An effort that would make Owais Shah proud! No run.  (0)

1.1  Jacques Kallis to Peter Handscomb, Bah, that was poor umpiring. Pitched outside leg, going over the top, and an inside edge! That's what you get for sleeping with the umpire's wife!

1.5  Jacques Kallis to Luke Wright, Easy single.  (1) 
1.6  Jacques Kallis to Kevin Pietersen, Gorgeous square drive, placed perfectly past point. There isn't a lot of power in the shot though, and third man cuts it off while the batsmen run hard for three.  (4)

2.1  Gurinder Sandhu to Kevin Pietersen, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1) 
2.2  Gurinder Sandhu to Luke Wright, Neat little late cut, beats the slip and short third man. The batsmen get two.  (2) 
2.3  Gurinder Sandhu to Luke Wright, He's hit that high and hard...the fielder is coming underneath it...will he catch it? NOOOO! He spills the chance! And to add insult to injury, the ball rolls away for four runs. The bowler is fuming!  (4)

7.6  Shane Watson to Kevin Pietersen, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single.Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run.  (1)

19.1  David Willey to Gary Putland, That one deviated sharply of the pitch, the batsman had no chance of playing that. Dot ball.  (0) 
19.2  David Willey to Gary Putland, Hit hard but straight to the fielder, the batsmen scamper through for the single!  (1) 
19.3  David Willey to Ben Laughlin, No Run, excellent bowling.  (0) 
19.4  David Willey to Ben Laughlin, He's skied it, too high, there's a fielder coming under it, takes it comfortably!

19.5  David Willey to Hamish Kingston, Flicked off his hips through the vacant square leg region for two runs. The captain decides to remove a man from gully to cover up that spot.  (2) 
19.6  David Willey to Hamish Kingston, He taps the ball away, calls for a quick singe, in comes the throw, and it's a direct hit! Out by miles! Fantastic fielding!
