Aiden Markram 34(37)
11.3
Lyon to Markram, out Stumped!! Markram looks to be in trouble here. Australia confident about the stumping. Lovely flight and drift from Lyon, invited the drive and then slid it past the outside edge, with Markram unable to prevent his back foot from getting dragged outside the crease. Had to really stretch for the ball, which probably indicates that it dipped on him too. Superb bit of off-spin bowling. Carey polishes off the rest with his neat glovework.

9.6

9.5
Behrendorff to Markram, no run, chance for Behrendorff who fails to hold on! He was looking away from the ball while attempting to take it, probably as a way to protect himself rather than actually catch it. But this wasn't hit as hard as he thought. In fact, it had come off a thick leading edge. Just misjudged it completely

7.2
Lyon to Markram, SIX, the second boundary he's got off Lyon after using his feet. This one's gone all the way. Doesn't want the offie to settle. Wasn't quite to the pitch, but there's not enough turn to worry Markram as he hits through the line over long-on

Behrendorff to Markram, FOUR, follows it up with a pristine drive off the front foot. Lovely start from Markram. Just a minor over-correction in length, it was pitched up just outside off and was met with a confident forward stride as he nailed it through extra cover
3.3
Behrendorff to Markram, FOUR, this pitch is tailor-made for his back-foot play today. Back of a length outside off, enough width for Markram to latch onto it. Crisply cuts it past backward point
