Pretorius to Warner, out Caught by Chris Morris!! Massive moment in the game and Manchester erupts! The crowd is booing as Warner walks back to the pavilion. A length delivery by Pretorius and Warner heaves it to mid-on. The connection was good enough but Morris at mid-on was equally good with his fielding. Flies to his left and plucks it out of thin air.

12.4
Pretorius to Stoinis, 1 run, tucked to square leg
12.3
Pretorius to Stoinis, FOUR, this is a top shot, top because he's found that small gap between cover-point and point. Can't feed back of a length with width to a batsman who is hanging back and playing the punch very well, hit along the ground

10.5
Pretorius to Stoinis, no run, blocked to mid-on
10.4
Pretorius to Stoinis, no run, that was a late reaction from Stoinis to defend, this one cut back into the right-hander from good length, Stoinis seems to have been surprised by the movement and he just met the ball before it could have touched the pad
10.3
Pretorius to Stoinis, no run, back of a length, defended off the back foot
10.2

8.6
Pretorius to Stoinis, no run, short of length delivery wide outside off stump, Stoinis shoulders arms
8.5
Pretorius to Stoinis, no run, mistimed drive to mid-off. Stoinis looks so rusty with the bat in hand. If Australia go at this rate, they may well play England and they need to their players in top form
8.4
Pretorius to Stoinis, no run, short of length delivery on the off stump, Stoinis defends off the back foot
8.3
Pretorius to Stoinis, no run, oh inside edge saves Stoinis there. Nip-backer from good length, Stoinis was trying to defend, so close to being LBW

6.6
Pretorius to Stoinis, no run, oh this one swung away late and Stoinis couldn't get bat on ball as he tried to drive away from the body. Almost a yorker outside off stump
6.5
Pretorius to Stoinis, no run, punched towards cover
6.4
Pretorius to Stoinis, no run, good length delivery nipping back in, Stoinis defends off the back foot
6.3
Pretorius to Smith, out Lbw!! Given out. Smith consults and he isn't going to review. Australia effectively 33/3 with Khawaja retiring hurt. May not come out to bat. So this was a short of length delivery that nipped back in, Smith usually jumps to the off-side and flicks the ball at will, but he missed this and the ball struck him high on the pad. Impact in line with off and it was good enough for umpire Kumar Dharmasena. Probably would have been umpire's call, worth a review. Oh yes, HawkEye confirms the same as a part of the ball is hitting off stump. Smith lbw b Pretorius 7(6) [4s-1]
6.2
Pretorius to Smith, FOUR, nice pull shot. Short delivery on the stumps, Smith hits this to the right of square leg and the timing was so good
6.1
Pretorius to Smith, no run, defended from the crease
