Pat Cummins to M Santner
OUT! That is a stunning catch! The short stuff gets Santner. He was never looking comfortable and departs for a 8-ball duck. But what concentration from Travis Head! It is never easy to field for a fast bowler but Head did not move an inch. Normally, players take their eyes off and look for cover. But not Head. A short ball, right at the body from around the wicket, Mitchell cannot do much other than hop and tamely fend at it. The ball goes straight off the face of the bat, straight to silly point who just takes it calmly. Or makes it look pretty simple.

SIX! Off the top edge! A short ball, outside leg, Wagner looks to tuck it to the leg side, with his eyes closed. The ball comes in at sheer pace and goes off the top edge, all the way over third man!

M Starc to Wagner
OUT! Caught behind and Starc has 9 in the match! A length ball, around middle, Wagner looks to defend but the ball angles away, takes the outside edge and goes to Tim Paine. Starc starts to celebrate and is that the end of the game? Will Lockie Ferguson come out to bat?

N Lyon to Tim Southee
OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Starc does not get a 10-fer. We do not have a Day 5. Lyon finishes things off. Full and outside off, Southee comes forward to defend but the ball spins in slightly, takes the outside edge and goes straight to first slip. An easy chance for Steven Smith this time and he makes no mistake. AUSTRALIA WIN BY 296 RUNS!
