Brody Couch to Glenn Maxwell, no run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Maxwell swings and misses

Brody Couch to Glenn Maxwell, SIX, slogged away and it stays hit! Full and outside off stump, Maxwell clears his front leg away and used his wrists to send the slog over square leg. This is already the highest score for Maxwell this season. He's had an underwhelming season. Has he saved it for these big games?

Brody Couch to Andries Gous, 1 run, pushed through point

Brody Couch to Andries Gous, FOUR, picked the spot so well. Leg-sidish short of length delivery, no one at fine leg, so Gous swivels and pulls behind square. Safe hit!

Brody Couch to Glenn Maxwell, 1 run, full delivery on the stumps, Maxi defends to long-on and jogs the single

Brody Couch to Andries Gous, 1 run, very full delivery, Gous drives to long-off

Brody Couch to Rachin Ravindra, FOUR, smartly done! Short of a length delivery angling away, Rachin stays leg-side of the ball and sends it wide of third man, who runs to the left but can't cut it off. This is class batting. Got a six with power last ball now gets a four with touch and placement

Brody Couch to Rachin Ravindra, SIX, sat up to be hit! Shortish and right in the arc for Rachin to open up and smash a flat pull over mid-wicket

Brody Couch to Andries Gous, 1 run, short of length delivery on the stumps, Gous flicked it to mid-wicket, they thought of two but decided against it

Brody Couch to Andries Gous, FOUR, oh inside edge escapes to the left of the keeper! Pace off from Brody Couch, Gous was early into the cut, thick edge just misses the off stump and Lhuan-dre Pretorius couldn't cut it off diving to the left

Brody Couch to Rachin Ravindra, 1 run, good length delivery on the leg stump, Rachin flicks to long-on

Brody Couch to Andries Gous, 1 run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Gous guides this over point for a single

Brody Couch to Steven Smith, SIX, he goes aerial and even holds the pose. Full and outside off stump, Smith gets under it and smashes it hard over cover. 16 off the previous over, 18 off this one

Brody Couch to Steven Smith, FOUR, drilled through the off-side. Smith knows Brody Couch is only looking to bowl yorkers so he backed away early to expose the stumps, the bowler tried to target the poles. Again just missed the yorker that was enough for Smith to smash the cover drive

Brody Couch to Mitchell Owen, leg byes, 1 run, another very good yorker cramping the batter. Owen tried to take his foot away to avoid injury, ball hits him low on the back pad but was missing leg

Brody Couch to Steven Smith, 1 run, now thuds the pad with a really full ball, cramped him for room with a really full ball. Smith missed the flick. Given runs though, maybe there was an inside edge on this

Brody Couch to Steven Smith, SIX, power hit! Flat six over long-on. The margin for error with the yorker is so small. Brody Couch missed the mark, Smith took this from the slot and pounced on it for a much needed hit to the fence

Brody Couch to Steven Smith, no run, almost a yorker, Smith mistimes the loft drive to mid-off

Brody Couch to Mitchell Owen, no run, now he gets this to zip through to the keeper, with some extra bounce from short of length. Owen slogs and misses

Brody Couch to Mitchell Owen, no run, appeal for LBW, maybe missing leg so no review from Unicorns as well. Immediately Lhuan-dre Pretorius gestured that it was leg-side. Good length delivery nipping back in and thudding Owen on the back pad after he got cramped for room, DRS confirms ball is fully missing the leg stick

Brody Couch to Mitchell Owen, no run, very full delivery, they want to bowl death bowling to keep Owen calm, gets the yorker right, Owen mistimes the slog to mid-wicket

Brody Couch to Mitchell Owen, no run, oh how did that bounce so much on the way to the keeper from yorker length? Owen actually got a bottom edge that hit the pitch and tried to escape over the keeper but Lhuan-dre Pretorius jumped high to grab that

Brody Couch to Steven Smith, 1 run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Smith drives square through backward point

Brody Couch to Steven Smith, FOUR, cheeky from Smith! Moved right across and took this on the full, scooped it over short fine leg. Fell over after playing the shot. Oh dear, he seems to have injured his left hammie or knee in the process. He's hobbling. Physio comes to check and Smith is good to carry on
