Finally second wicket for Australia.

Green to Burl, OUT

And Green gets a breakthrough! Ryan Burl looks to take on a back of length delivery, trying to launch it over midwicket, but ends up with a top edge skied behind. Sub fielder Bartlett gets under it at short third and pouches it

Ryan Burl c sub (XC Bartlett) b Green 35 (30b 4x4 0x6) SR: 116.66

Cameron Green [1.0-0-6-0] is back into the attack

Stoinis is walking away - Australia will hope that it's nothing major, struck him on the webbing between the index finger and the thumb. Was his left hand and not his batting hand though, so should be able to grip the bat. Green will complete the over

Marcus Stoinis to Ryan Burl, no run, a chance and Stoinis has put it down, hit his thumb and he looks hurt. Surely Australia can't manage more injuries - was a full-toss and Burl smashed it back at the bowler. Hit Stoinis's thumb as he attempted the catch

Ryan Burl: "Pretty good powerplay. We were happy with that. Went according to the blueprint. And the engine room in the middle allowed us to go hard at the end. I think before we came here we identified this isn't a 200 kind of a wicket. We were targeting something around 170 so that's a box checked. Both spinners bowled from the Top End so we had to wait and try and go after one of the quicks at the end. We've done our job with the bat and let's hope the bowlers can back us up now and hopefully we can put up a good fight and do something special."
