Adam Zampa to Brandon McMullen
SIX! WHAM! Tossed up, outside off, Brandon McMullen gets down and launches it over mid off. Has excellent timing and it clears the ropes as well! 105 more needed from 53 balls.

Adam Zampa to Brandon McMullen
Tossed up again, but wider outside off. McMullen has to reach out for the slog and gets it towards wide long on for a single.

Adam Zampa to Michael Leask

Adam Zampa to Brandon McMullen
A 38-BALL FIFTY FOR MCMULLEN! He is keeping Scotland in the hunt. It has been a wonderful innings so far, judging the pitch pretty quicky. Gets there with a gentle flick through mid-wicket and returning for a brace. Can he do an Inglis and bat through? Well, nearly through in Inglis' case.

Adam Zampa to Brandon McMullen
FOUR! Lovely shot. Tossed up, outside off, McMullen leans into this one and drives it to the left of long off. Marcus Stoinis gives it a chase but then gives it up. 100 UP FOR SCOTLAND. 97 more needed from 49 balls.

Sean Abbott to Michael Leask
Slanting in, on a length, on middle and leg. Leask tries to whip it away but misses and wears it on the back leg. A leg bye is taken as the ball rolls in front of point.

Sean Abbott to Brandon McMullen
FOUR! Cheeky! Abbott bowls it on a back of a length, outside off, Brandon McMullen walks across his stumps to scoop it past the keeper and succeeds in doing so. Gets it between the keeper and short fine leg for a boundary.
12.3
W
Sean Abbott to Brandon McMullen
OUT! TAKEN! Expertly held by Tim David! A massive blow to Scotland. Abbott bends his back and digs it in short, outside off. Brandon McMullen shimmies down the track and tries to slap it away on the off side. He has to reach out and it means that he ends up dragging it down the ground towards long on. Hits it flat and to the left of long on where Tim David is quick across the turf to his left and takes a good running catch. McMullen goes for 59 (42) with Scotland requiring 91 runs in 45 balls.

Marcus Stoinis to Mark Watt
DROPPED! A tough chance but we have seen such catches stick! Marcus Stoinis comes in from around the wicket and angles it in, on a length, Mark Watt looks to drill it back past the bowler. Goes early into his shot and mistimes it down the deck. Bunts it to the right of Stoinis who sticks out his right palm but the ball does not stick.

Marcus Stoinis to Michael Leask
OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! The change of bowling has worked nicely for Australia as they strengthen their grip on the game. Stoinis comes from over the wicket for the right-hander and goes fuller and slower, at the stumps. Michael Leask sets himself deep in the crease and slogs across the line. Gets undone by the slowness of the delivery and spoons it off the bottom half of the bat. It goes only as far as deep mid-wicket where Jake Fraser-McGurk settles under it and does the rest. Scotland are now 110/6, requiring 87 runs in 38 balls.

Cameron Green to Mark Watt
OUT! BOWLED! Another bowling change, another wicket for Australia! Green comes from around the wicket and takes pace off as he bowls it on a good length, on middle and leg. Mark Watt tries to work it away with the angle on the leg side. Plays outside the line of the ball as the ball catches the inside edge onto his thigh pad and then it deflects onto the stumps. The wheels are coming off for Scotland now.
14.3
W
Cameron Green to Chris Sole
OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! You miss I hit, says Cameron Green! Two in two for the Aussie all-rounder and he is on a hat-trick now. Green switches to over the wicket for the right-hander and bowls it at pace, full and aimed at the off pole. Chris Sole clears his front leg and swings through the line to go down the ground. Misses the line of the ball completely and it goes through to clatter into the off pole.

Cameron Green to Brad Wheal
Oh, dear! We have seen better hat-trick balls, let's just put it that way! Green goes searching for the yorker but gets it wrong. Ends up bowling a waist-high full toss, on the pads. Wheal gets beaten on the inside edge as he tries to clip it away on the leg side and wears it on the pads. A sheepish look on the face of Green as he appeals for LBW. Clearly going down leg.

Marcus Stoinis to Brad Wheal
OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Marcus Stoinis has his third as Australia inch closer to clinching the win and the series. A touch fuller by Stoinis, angling in, on middle and leg, Brad Wheal backs away and goes for a swipe across the line. Gets a leading edge that goes straight up in the air towards cover. Xavier Bartlett calls for it and settles under it after running a few steps in front to complete the catch near his chest.

Marcus Stoinis to Chris Greaves
OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Marcus Stoinis wraps things up! Australia put the series to bed with a clinical win. Stoinis spots the batter back away towards the leg side slightly and he follows him. Bowls it full and around the pads. Chris Greaves tries to swat it behind square on the leg side. He could not have picked out the fielder any better. Helps it away off his pads and it goes straight into the hands of Aaron Hardie at fine leg who takes the simplest of catches near his left knee. Marcus Stoinis ends with four wickets to his name. His figures read 3.4-0-23-4. Australia win by 70 runs and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series!
