Code:
0.1 Ben Cutting to Michael Klinger, Driven down the ground to long-on, the batsmen get only one (1)

Shaun Marsh b Ben Cutting
Runs : 0 Balls : 1 S/R : 0
(0)
0.3 Ben Cutting to Michael Carberry, Edged and over the slip fielder! Two runs while third man tidies up. (2)
0.4 Ben Cutting to Michael Carberry, 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)
0.5 Ben Cutting to Michael Carberry, The batsman looks surprised that that ball wasn't called a wide. The bowler's grinning as he makes his way back to his mark. (0)
0.6 Ben Cutting to Michael Carberry, Uppercut over the slip fielders and away for four! Cheeky shot! (4)

1.1 James Hopes to Michael Klinger, The run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more! (3)
1.2 James Hopes to Michael Carberry, GOT HIM!! Oh no, wait, sorry. It's just a dot ball. My bad. (0)

3.4 James Hopes to Adam Voges, Oooh! Good ball, yorker length delivery on the legstump. The batsman just barely gets his bat down on time, and the non striker urges him through for a quick single. (1)

3.6 James Hopes to Adam Voges, Swing and a miss. No run. (0)

11.1 Andre Russell to Travis Head, Nice yorker! The batsmen gets a thin inside edge and the ball flies past the legstump and the keeper. Fine leg fields to keep it down to two. (2)
11.2 Andre Russell to Travis Head, Good bouncer. The batsman attempts the hooks, and gets a top edge which lands safe. Only one. (1)
11.3 Andre Russell to Mahela Jayawardena, 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)
11.4 Andre Russell to Travis Head, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run. (0)
11.5 Andre Russell to Travis Head, 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)
11.6 Andre Russell to Travis Head, Down the track, driven to the deep. Two more. (2)

14.3 Andre Russell to Mahela Jayawardena, The run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more! (3)
14.4 Andre Russell to Travis Head, Tucked to off side, one more. (1)
14.5 Andre Russell to Mahela Jayawardena, Wide full toss, the batsman slashes at it and gets four more through point! Poor bowling. (4)
14.6 Andre Russell to Mahela Jayawardena, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close. (0)

15.2 Shane Watson to Travis Head, 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)
