- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.1 Lee gets a wicket, first ball. He pitches it short and Gibbs goes for the pull. He pulls it into the hands of the deep square-leg fielder, Thornely. Gibbs is shocked with the shot he just played and trudges off 0/19 this time he flights it on the leg stump line. North wants to sweep the top spinner and gets a top edge. O'Keefe has no problems in taking the catch and in comes Collingwood 60/30.5 short ball outside the off stump. Ronchi, after those two dot-balls, decides to chase it and gets a faint outside edge. Nevill does no mistakes in holding and it's two wickets in the first over 2/216.2 fuller ball on the middle stump. Collinwood comes down the track and looks to loft it. He skies a leading edge to cover and Smith takes it comfortably 112/418.5 fuller ball outside the off stump. Katich drives it straight into the hands of Maddinson at mid-off. A couple of metres , either side, would have fetched him a boundary 143/5Extras7 (b 2, lb 2, w 3)TOTAL156/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.8)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Herschelle Gibbs, 0.1 ov), 2-2 (Luke Ronchi, 0.5 ov), 3-60 (Marcus North, 8.6 ov), 4-112 (Paul Collingwood, 16.2 ov), 5-143 (Simon Katich, 18.5 ov)
