17.3 3 Thackeray to Myall
Just guides it into the outfield. It won't go for four but they manage to pick up a handy three runs.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Another 50 from Myall. What a fantastic season.

18.6 . Muralitharan to Bridges
Stroked to cover, no run.
18.5 6 Muralitharan to Bridges
Off the middle of the bat and just over the fielder's head!
18.4 2 Muralitharan to Bridges
Full ball. Swished to deep square leg and good running by the batsmen creates a second.
18.3 2 Muralitharan to Bridges
Nicely improvised, not one for the purist though!!!
18.2 1 Muralitharan to Myall
They really should have that extra slip. Edged to third man for a single.
18.1 1 Muralitharan to Bridges
Driven away to the deep, easy single.

A massive over there.

29.6 4 Habens to Myall
Myall executes the paddle sweep perfectly and picks up four behind square.
29.5 4 Habens to Myall
The purists may not like it, but the reverse sweep certainly is an effective shot to play. Myall played that one to perfection.

Myall into the 90s!

35.1 4 Thackeray to Myall
He finds the gap between cover and extra cover and, with no sweeper to do the fielding, it's four runs.

Myall up to 97.

Massive wicket for you, Syl. Come on buddy. You can do it!

That wasn't even a bad ball, it was just a super shot!

One more key wicket and the game shifts my way.

34.1 W Clayden to Sawyer
A slightly quicker ball from Clayden draws Sawyer into the shot and a simple catch at slip is the result.
