T Head 57(31)
45.5
Southee to Head, SIX, that's a ridiculous shot. He's not at all stable, moving all over the place to a short of length delivery but somehow swings it beautifully over deep mid-wicket. Wow. What hitting prowess!
45.4
Southee to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, good execution from Southee here. Three yorkers out of four, Marsh can't get underneath and hits it along the ground to long-on
45.2
Southee to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, tough to hit these. A low full toss which Marsh mistimes to long-on
44.6
Boult to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, overpitches and Marsh drills him straight of mid-off. Australia rocketing towards a massive score
44.4
Boult to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, drives it down the ground, only a single
44.1
Boult to Head, FOUR, gosh, that's been hit with some force! Boult misses out on the blockhole, lands just short of it and is drilled back over his head. The ball curled like a banana after being hit. Nailed that
43.6
Southee to Mitchell Marsh, 2 runs, full at the stumps, Marsh wants to go much straighter with the loft than where he eventually hits it. Straight to deep mid-wicket. A fumble allows the second
43.4
Southee to Head, FOUR, driven to the left of mid-off, and past him. Williamson flung himself across with an outstretched left hand but couldn't get there. He's standing more at extra-cover to begin with. Head doing a great job for Australia, the rate he's scoring at
43.3
Southee to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, and again. Brilliant. Gunning for Marsh's toes as he shuffles down leg, all he can do is dig it out into the off-side somehow
42.6
Boult to Mitchell Marsh, no run,
42.2
Boult to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, would have been touch and go with a direct-hit. Marsh had to run round Boult there after pushing it to mid-off. Didn't help his cause. Oh he would have been well short had that hit
41.6
Southee to Head, 1 run, walks at the bowler, spooks Southee into bowling a low full toss outside off, maybe his charge converted it into one, tries to drill it through the covers but squirts it off a thick edge to third man
41.5
Southee to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, good full length, squeezed away through mid-wicket
41.4
Southee to Head, wide, nails the yorker length but slips well wide of off, way beyond the mark
41.3
Southee to Head, no run, tries an encore but misses this time. Similar off-cutter drifting away, a swish and a miss
41.2
Southee to Head, FOUR, with mid-on up, Southee is trying to angle it away wide to keep it out of Head's reach. It's an off-cutter too which makes it slide away from Head even further. But he still manages to swat it over the fielder. Got it right off the bottom of the bat but had enough to clear the infield
41.1
Southee to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, yorker length delivery around off, Marsh squeezes it towards long-on
40.5
Matt Henry to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, loses shape while trying to slog it away and skews it off the inside half backward of square
40.4
Matt Henry to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, low full toss, Marsh pushes it down to long-on
40.2
Matt Henry to Head, no run, absolutely smokes the drive but it's straight to extra-cover
40.1
Matt Henry to Head, FOUR, Head hasn't got all of this but the thing going in his favour is that he's gone dead straight. Lifts the good length delivery down the ground and the fielder at long-off runs right past the ball, not expecting it to plug in the outfield like it did
39.6
Southee to Mitchell Marsh, no run, full ball, driven back towards the bowler
39.2
Southee to Head, 2 runs, how well has he played this. Hangs back to a fullish ball and flays it past backward point to the left of third man. Excellent timing
38.5
C de Grandhomme to Head, FOUR, Head is flying. He's manufactured this out of pure intent. Backs away to the leg-side, Grandhomme tries to follow him with a full ball but Head still manages enough power to hammer the drive straight back down the ground. The intent is great to see
38.4
C de Grandhomme to Smith, leg byes, 1 run, missed out there. It was on the pads and in his endeavour to whip it away hard, he fails to connect altogether. Deflects off the pad
38.2
C de Grandhomme to Head, SIX, add six more to that. Such a fearless attitude. He's hardly just come into the crease and has already started taking them on. Waits on the off-cutter and heaves it away over the mid-wicket boundary
38.1
C de Grandhomme to Head, FOUR, Head pounces on the opportunity to free his arms. A little bit of width on offer with this length ball and he slaps it to over extra-cover. A sudden spurt of runs for Australia
37.6
Boult to Smith, leg byes, FOUR, poor bowling this. Loses the angle from round the wicket and drifts on leg-stump once again. Smith's shuffle makes it look even worse and even though he misses the glance, it runs away off the thigh pad
37.3
Boult to Smith, 1 run, tucks it through mid-wicket
37.1
Boult to Smith, leg byes, 1 run, back of a length, slanted in on off, Smith fails to clip it away and it deflects off his thigh pad in front of point
36.4
C de Grandhomme to Smith, 1 run, back of a length delivery, Smith swats it to deep mid-wicket
36.2
C de Grandhomme to Head, no run, rolling his fingers across the ball, finds some grip and skirts past Head's outside edge as he tries to angle it to third man
