0.4 Kennett to Smith, full ball, swings in, Smith takes it with bat and pad together, ball balloons up to first slip but falls short, they're still appealing for an lbw, not out
1.2 Watt to Fitzsimmons, FOUR, first boundary.
3.6 Watt to Fitzsimmons, good length, rapped on the pads, appeal, way outside off however
17.2 Borcich to Fitzsimmons, one run, fifty partnership brought up with a gentle glide through the slips region
18.2 Bennett to Fitzsimmons, SIX, hoiked through midwicket, welcome to the Red leg-spinner!
25.3 Watt to Smith, no run, rapped on the pads again
28.5 Bennett to Fitzsimmons, SIX, huge drive from Fitzsimmons brings up the half-century in a slow scoring session
30.6 Kennett to Smith, no run, leaves alone and that's lunch
34.1 Kennett to Smith, one run, drives through mid on, Robbins picks up, 100 up for Black
34.2 Kennett to Fitzsimmons, FOUR, booming cover drive from Fitzsimmons, moves on to 66
34.3 Kennett to Fitzsimmons, OUT! short ball, tries to drive again, gets an awkward edge and Bennett holds on at backward point, good start for Black however
35.2 Borcich to Smith, OUT! second opener gone! Smith cuts outside off, poorly executed, Feeney takes the catch and Smith is gone, exposes the middle order
42.3 Watt to Kearsley, no run, tempting ball outside the off stump, Kearsley gets a thin outside edge but a diving Mamesh can't hold on!
49.3 Robbins to Kearsley, FOUR, pulls with ease through midwicket, 150 up for Black
51.1 Feeney to Blackman, FOUR, half-century partnership up with a nice looking straight drive
52.1 Bennett to Blackman, OUT! drive attempted, deceived by the flight, ball goes through bat and pad and Bennett has his man, Black three down and still interestingly poised.
61.6 Watt to Kearsley, no run, not interested at all, tea is taken with Black in control at 187 for 3
68.4 Kennett to Dubb-Lynch, SIX, SHOT! flies miles off the edge and well into the stands, fifty partnership up, the third of this innings so far
70.2 Borcich to Dubb-Lynch, OUT! feathered inside edge from Dubb-Lynch, Mamesh clings onto the ball, Borcich strikes with the second ball of the spell!
77.5 Bennett to Wilson, OUT! another one deceived by the Bennett turn, really getting plenty out of this dead pitch, Wilson can only edge behind and out for 12
79.2 Bennett to Kearsley, FOUR, drives well to the boundary and gets his half-century, off 133 balls
79.6 New ball taken
83.1 Watt to Thompson, SIX, thumped out of the ground, Red not accurate with this new cherry
85.5 Watt to Thompson, OUT, repeat flies to the hand of Markus, brief cameo of 27 cut short
88.1 Kennett to Warwick, OUT!, outside off and Warwick gets a thin edge, taken by Feeney at second slip, this new ball turned out to be a key after all
89.4 Watt to Kearsley, OUT!, that's the one they wanted! full and on the stumps, Kearsley can't get bat to that at all, Kearsley is lbw for 58 to leave the match interestingly poised.
89.6 Stumps drawn, Watt rounds off the day with a wicket maiden.
93.4 Watt to Richards, one run, drives to midwicket where Dobson stands, Richards attempts the run, Hoy dashes across but is saved by Dobson's missed throw
103.6 Commendable accumulation from Richards and Hoy here.
104.2 Feeney to Richards, OUT!, leg spin does the trick! Richards doesn't quite read that ball, it's taken by Kennett on the leg side, just Pickup to get now
108.6 Feeney to Pickup, no run, leaves alone, fourth successive maiden
109.4 Kennett to Hoy, OUT!, bowling change gives success as Hoy nicks behind, third catch for Mamesh, Hoy gone for 14 to leave Pickup alone, three bonus points to either team
