England vs Australia, 5th Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary
Joe Denly 14(26)
8.3
Pat Cummins to Denly, out Caught by Smith!! Smith gets the juggling act right. Not once but thrice to have Denly caught at second slip. That was a length delivery, this time nibbled away, Denly pushed at it and edged it for the man at second slip to take it after a few bobbles and wobbles. The previous two balls set the batter up and he got into a mindset of playing at deliveries and then this sucker delivery to have the batter edging one behind the sticks. Denly c Smith b Pat Cummins 14(26) [4s-2]
8.2
Pat Cummins to Denly, no run, and again darts in, Denly fails to tuck it away. The ball goes off the pads into the off-side
8.1
Pat Cummins to Denly, no run, will they, won't they? In the end, the Aussies didn't review. That decked in late and too much of movement ensured the straight bat face presented by Denly was missed. The ball hit the pads but I guess was going down. Height might have been a factor as well
7.6
Siddle to Denly, 3 runs, short ball, bad ball and Denly has slammed it past mid-off for a triple. That wasn't timed really well and the man at mid-off also slipped while fetching it back
7.5
Siddle to Denly, no run, length delivery outside off and Denly pats it down into the off-side
7.4
Siddle to Denly, no run, angling away outside off and Denly lets it go
7.3
Siddle to Denly, no run, short ball. Too wide outside off and has been left alone
7.2
Siddle to Denly, no run, inside edge on to the pads and the ball is fielded by the man at FSL with a dive to his right
7.1
Siddle to Denly, no run, back of a length delivery darts in and has been nudged out to the man at FSL. That angled in sharply and Denly played it down with soft hands
6.6
Pat Cummins to Rory Burns, FOUR, rare bad ball and Burns takes heavy toll of it. Cummins strays one on the pads and the southpaw flicks it very fine to send it into the fine leg fence
5.5
Hazlewood to Denly, FOUR, poor shot but four! Fuller delivery and Denly throws his bat at it, gets an outside edge and the ball flies past the man at gully for a four. Lucky!
5.4
Hazlewood to Rory Burns, 1 run, and Hazlewood gets it right straight away. The ball takes the inside edge and whizzes pas the sticks for a single to fine leg. Rory Burns didn't really push at it and got it off the inside edge
4.5
Pat Cummins to Denly, no run, banged in short and Denly was quick to respond and sat under it
4.4
Pat Cummins to Denly, no run, cuts back in sharply and Denly doesn't account for the movement. There was a gap between bat and pad, Pat Cummins managed to traverse that. The ball wasn't far from the sticks either
4.3
Pat Cummins to Denly, no run, solidly behind that length delivery and has been blocked back to the bowler
4.2
Pat Cummins to Denly, FOUR, uncertainity fetches him four. Tries to leave but the ball takes the toe-end of the batand the ball races away between slips and gully for a four
4.1
Pat Cummins to Denly, no run, there was a big noise as the ball went past the bat but Australia don't review despite a strong appeal. It cut back in and seemed to have hit the back pad to create that noise. On a length, it darted in and Denly played down the wrong line thanks to the inward movement
3.6
Hazlewood to Rory Burns, no run, another delivery angling across, Rory Burns lets it go
2.5
Pat Cummins to Denly, 2 runs, a tentative push brings about a couple of runs. That was outside off and Denly pushed at it and the ball ran away off the outer half to go through to the third man region for a double
2.4
Pat Cummins to Denly, no run, curling away outside off and Denly shoulders arms to let it go
2.3
Pat Cummins to Denly, no run, fuller delivery and driven well. But the man at mid-off dives to his left and stops it
2.2
Pat Cummins to Denly, no run, for the third time if I can remember, the bottom hand has come off the handle for Denly. Means the ball is hitting him high on the bat. Nudged to FSL in the end as that angled in a bit from a short of length spot
2.1
Pat Cummins to Denly, no run, waste of a delivery outside off. Too easy for Denly to deal with that
1.6
Hazlewood to Rory Burns, FOUR, just a push. A meek one to an away going delivery and it has enough legs on it to go away to the fence. That was fuller and Rory Burns decided to play that. Didn't really lean in to it but made good solid connection
1.2
Hazlewood to Denly, no run, indecision! To leave or to play! In the end, the ball creeps up and takes the shoulder of the bat to die down behind the wickets as Denly was trying to let it go
1.1
Hazlewood to Denly, no run, angling in, inside-halved to the man at FSL. A little tentative push of the bat to the length delivery
0.6
Pat Cummins to Rory Burns, no run, nice delivery outside off and greeted with a lifted bat. Maiden from Pat Cummins to start the proceedings at the Oval
