46.6 Warne to Kearsley: he goes for the drive and it's edged away along the ground... FOUR runs.
Warne's 16-over spell comes to an end. He had a break for lunch, but bowled 11 consecutive after. He gets a rest now, and Gillespie returns.
50.1 Gillespie to Kearsley: pitched up and defended on the front foot.
Watson is back for Clark...
53.4 Watson to Kearsley: lofted over midoff... bold shot for FOUR!
53.5 Watson to Kearsley: GORGEOUS straight drive! That'll race away too. Kearsley giving Watson no respect.
54.2 Gillespie to Butler: and there's some excitement there! Butler drove uppishly and Langer grassed it low down to his left. Difficult chance.
56.1 Gillespie to Butler: HOWZ HE?! Given it! That may have pitched outside legstump...
Code:
CR Butler lbw b Gillespie [B]22 (74)[/B]
56.6 Gillespie to Camps: EDGED! That beats third slip and it'll be FOUR! Off the mark.
60.4 Gillespie to Camps: EDGED again! This time it's taken! He never looked comfortable against Gillespie's probing line, and he's paid the price for that indecision.
Code:
LA Camps c Warne b Gillespie [B]5 (14)[/B]
Warne returns for a second spell, with the tail exposed and the new ball 15 overs away.
66.1 Warne to Kearsley: pushed off the back foot to short extra cover - no run.
69.4 Clark to Kearsley: PLAYED ON! Loose shot really, as he was tied down for a long time.
Code:
DA Kearsley b Clark [B]23 (86)[/B]
70.2 Warne to Hoy: bowled him offstump! He didn't pick the wrong 'un at all, and it just spun in to take his offstump. How embarrassing!
Code:
NS Hoy b Warne [B]2 (17)[/B]
70.5 Warne to Thomas: BANG! How's that for your first Test runs? Thomas just charged down the pitch and smashed Warne over cover off the full toss! Great shot for FOUR!
79.1 Clark to Thomas: he tries the bouncer, but Thomas won't have any of it. He hooks for FOUR!
79.5 Clark to Thomas: SHORT and QUICK again!! This time it flies off the top edge!...and down behind the 'keeper for FOUR! Thomas into the 20s!
The new ball has been taken, and Lee gets ready to bowl it...
81.1 Gillespie to Thomas: pushed hard to midoff and there's a fumble. Indecision, and Thomas is stranded! He's run out! Sad end to an entertaining cameo from the young man.
84.5 Lee to Kennett: pushed off his thigh and into the lap of legslip. Innings over. 3 wickets for Lee.
