0.4 Hoy to Mørk, FOUR, edged through the slips and he's off the mark, Black can't afford too many of those
6.0 Rain interrupts play for half an hour - it's the middle of day four, though, with just 143 runs or 10 wickets before a result is achieved.
6.6 Hoy to Mørk, OUT, first blood! regulation outside edge as Hoy bowls one on a good length and swinging away, Chaulk holds it well
8.1 Hoy to Kearsley, OUT, golden duck! Hoy on a roll! smacks the ball in short and Kearsley fends behind, awful shot and Black are not out of this quite yet
8.2 Hoy to Dauth, no run, hat-trick ball is just a bit too wide and cautiously left alone
9.1 Borcich to Dauth, no ball, no run, tries just a bit too much and he oversteps
9.1 Borcich to Dauth, no ball, no run, and again! that one was a yard over the line, poor show from Borcich
10.0 And that's an early lunch - rain once again forces the players into the pavilion.
11.0 Pickup in early here, trying to get some wickets Warne-style...
16.1 Hoy to Mamesh, FOUR, driven square, swing starting to desert the bowler and Mamesh can get on top of that without problems
17.0 Rain stops play again, six overs are lost. 64 overs remain today.
18.6 Wilson to Mamesh, FOUR, driven into the outfield and the fielder slips in the wet, another discussion and the umpires call off play yet again. Early tea. 96 runs or eight wickets to win.
19.0 15 overs lost to the weather, as play restarts once again
20.1 Richards to Dauth, OUT, first ball of the day and he gets a wicket! Dauth cuts, but is too early on the shot, and the ball goes square where Borcich stands and holds on to the catch
22.3 Richards to Mamesh, OUT, once again bowled for 42! Another big turner from Richards, almost inevitable on this pitch with rain and whatnot, but Mamesh can't cover up properly and it goes into off stump. Still 82 to win...
23.6 Pickup to Markus, OUT, and again! fends away the leg spinner, Fitzsimmons holds on to it, Black on top?
26.1 Richards to Ritchie, OUT, prods forward with a half-hearted bat, it flies off the edge and straight to Chaulk!
30.2 Richards to Robbins, one urn, they scramble the single, Kennett holding one end down here, but can Robbins get another fifty?
31.4 Pickup to Kennett, three runs, edged down leg
31.6 Pickup to Kennett, no run, huge appeal for lbw, ball kept very low, umpire turns it down, was it going down leg? Can't have been much...
35.4 Pickup to Robbins, FOUR, drives, straight bat, it rolls away through the outfield and away for four, 57 to get...
37.6 Hoy to Robbins, SIX, SMACK! Huge shot as Hoy drops it short once again, Robbins' fourth six of the game...
43.2 Hoy to Robbins, no ball, no run, not again, steps over the mark and gifts Red another run. 46 to win.
45.6 Thompson to Kennett, one run, edges and they take the single, Kennett to keep the strike against Pickup?!
46.1 Pickup to Kennett, two runs, sweeps down the leg, more runs for Red in this exhilarating chase. 40 to go now. 19 overs left of the day, but of course there's still another day to play, and the clouds look to have cleared.
48.1 Pickup to Robbins, FOUR, pointed drive to cut even more runs off the target
49.6 Thompson to Kennett, no run, goes to Borcich at point, but he floors it! Unbelievable!
50.5 Pickup to Robbins, FOUR, charges down the wicket and pulls, well executed
50.6 Pickup to Robbins, no run, another huge appeal turned down
52.2 Pickup to Robbins, FOUR, cuts through third man, that's the 50 partnership. Kennett must take major credit for a level-headed six.
52.3 Pickup to Robbins, two runs, fifty up for the Red legend
54.0 Richards replaces Pickup and starts with a maiden.
59.5 Borcich to Robbins, FOUR, edges through the slips and it's run away for four again, eighth run of the over, just 13 to win it...
60.6 Richards to Kennett, no run, left alone, that's the 110th ball Kennett has negotiated
61.2 Borcich to Robbins, FOUR, and another edge, nine to get...
62.1 Richards to Kennett, no run, HUGE appeal! they're all up and the only one who doesn't think that is out is umpire Sanders...
62.3 Richards to Kennett, OUT, single attempted to get off the strike, Robbins not alert, eventually runs but has to dash, referred to third umpire, given out!! Seven to win...
64.1 Richards to Reddlapalli, two runs, sweeps to get off the mark
64.2 Richards to Reddlapalli, one leg-bye, they're running at everything here, four to get...
65.6 Pickup to Kennett, no run, they'll return tomorrow, with three runs to win. Light offered and they take it.
66.6 Richards to Reddlapalli, one run, another single, keeps Reddlapalli on strike against Pickup. These two of course opening the bowling on the fifth day at the Pickford bunsen.
67.3 Pickup to Reddlapalli, one run, dashes across to level the scores...
68.1 Richards to Reddlapalli, one run, he's won it! He drives straight, runs the single, waits for the ball to come back before lifting his arm. Huge celebrations as the Reds dive together in a pack.
