61.2 Pickup to Gilchrist: lofted! TAKEN! Loose shot by Gilchrist as he went for one too many aggressive strokes. He's paid the price and Australia are in deep trouble now.
62.3 Camps to Warne: loud shout for LBW!! Turned down there. That looked very close.
71.6 Pickup to Warne: big swipe and BOWLED! Pickup held his nerve there and Warne swung over the top of a legbreak. Poor stroke, but that's the way Warne plays.
74.5 Kennett to Hussey: driven bolder through the covers and that's FOUR!
74.6 Kennett to Hussey: poorly lined and turned down to long leg... a single and an excellent half-century for Hussey. He continues to be a thorn for the CW XI.
The new ball is in the hands of Nathan Hoy. The Webheads have to make this final burst count.
81.2 Thomas to Lee: short ball and it's gone straight up off the hook shot! Kennett runs around under it and TAKES IT! Comfortable in the end, but the Webheads have dropped some sitters in this series - he's relieved.
81.6 Thomas to Gillespie: EDGED! Taken! That's what the fifth slip is there for, and Hoy made no mistake about that one. Thomas bowling superbly with this second new ball.
84.6 Hoy to Clark: offstump GONE! Brilliant delivery there. Jagged back into Clark sharply, and he had no answer for it. Hussey stranded.
