Shai Hope -
We're batting first, we need to do well today. We need to finish well, we started well and we want to continue - need to execute our plan with the ball better. It's just important to execute our skills, we've talked a lot in the meeting, just need to go and do it out in the middle. Same team for us.

Mitchell Marsh -
We'll have a bowl. I don't think the wicket will change, we chased wel the other night. 200 was par the other day, the way we pegged them back was a real good effort the other night. Mitchell Owen was fantastic, it's common now in T20 cricket, we were 70 for 4 and he still played his shots. We have Tim David coming back, he replaces JFM. Matt Kuhnemann makes his T20I debut.

We're back on pitch number 3. It's 64m square boundaries and the straighter boundary is 70m. Perfect batting condition, hard and true bounce. The bowlers need to make the most of their variations and change of pace would be ideal, reckon Nikhil Uttamchandni and Jimmy Adams, in their pitch report.

Kuhnemann to Brandon King, wide, a loud shout for caught behind, Josh Inglis was very confident and shakes his head as it's called as a wide - Australia review, was flatter and down leg, King was shaping for the big sweep. The ball is close to the glove, but we need UltraEdge to confirm. A flat line is revealed and Australia have lost their review - NOT OUT and the wide stays

Ben Dwarshuis, left-arm fast medium, comes into the attack
1.1
Dwarshuis to Brandon King, leg byes, 1 run, half-an-appeal for LBW, but the ball had pitched outside leg, swing back into the right-hander and King was shaping to urn it onto the on-side, off the pad and rolled to the off-side

Kuhnemann to Brandon King, no run, beautifully bowled, has Shai Hope been caught out of the crease? The third umpire will have a look - nice loop and drift from the left-arm spinner, dragged Hope forward and then spun past the outside edge. He was overbalanced and did drag the feet out of the crease, but it's back inside the crease before Josh Inglis broke the stumps - NOT OUT

Dwarshuis to Brandon King, SIX, thumped, that'll make King feel better - fraction overpitched by Dwarshuis, was the slower ball, but it's right in the slot and King drags the heave over long-on for the first six of the night

Kuhnemann to Brandon King, FOUR, cracking shot, fraction short and wide of off - King backs away, opens up the off-side and then cuts it powerfully past point for a boundary

Kuhnemann to Brandon King, SIX, massive, this is turning out to be a huge over - can't afford to miss the lengths here and Kuhnemann floats one right into King's hitting area, he gets forward, gets under it and then hammers it over wide long-on for another maximum
4.4
Kuhnemann to Brandon King, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for King - dropped short by Kuhnemann, there's some grip off the surface, but it sits up to be smacked, King makes room and then finds the gap square past cover for a boundary
4.3
Kuhnemann to Brandon King, SIX, lovely, tad too full from Kuhnemann - land right in the hitting area, King gets a good stride forward, covers the line and then muslces it high and over long-on for a maximum
