ROACH TO PONTING, NO RUN

Terrific finish to a testing over, Roach gets another one to climb on Ponting who has to get really tall - standing on his toes he was - to play the ball down on the off side

That one hit him in the ribs, me thinks, a short leg comes into place.

ROACH TO PONTING, NO RUN

Another short ball and Roach has Ponting jumping back to play awkwardly on the leg side, I haven't seen Ponting troubled by the short ball too often, three in a row now

A cheer goes around the WACA as Ponting prepares to take strike again.

ROACH TO PONTING, NO RUN

Short ball, 146 kmh, Ponting turns his head away from the ball and gets caught like a deer in the headlights, the ball smashes into his elbow and lobs up to gully where Benn dives to take it, that was clearly off the elbow, Ponting tries to show no pain initially but he eventually takes a moment to move towards square leg and compose himself, the physio's coming out with the miracle spray

Deer in the Headlights…😂😂
