0.6 to JP Bray, and that's a very early strike indeed, inswing clipped the outside of off stump. Bray didn't move his feet, tried to jab down on it. Failed. 2/1
4.3 to EJG Morgan, very soft, on off stump, and that's outside-edged to first slip. Ireland in complete disarray. 12/4
10.3 to AR White, great catch! An excellent slower ball which he misread, spooning it over McGrath's head; Hogg sprints to his right and takes a fine, low catch. 32/5
613936.50253091
3.1 to WTS Porterfield, right up there, straight, on leg, not much swing, too quick for the batsman and not much time's needed for the decision. 2/2
3.2 to NJ O'Brien, ...and out again: full toss, and there's no footwork as the batsman drags a huge inside edge back onto his stumps and Tait's on a hat-trick. 2/3
16.3 to DT Johnston, but he's got him this time. Clever bowling from Tait, sending it just a touch wider and enticing the drive. Johnston goes for an expansive slap through the covers, but instead the ball slaps into his stumps. 54/7
811912.37402010
13.2 to KJ O'Brien, drifting onto his pads and timed beautifully, with an elegant flick of his wrists, but he picks out Hodge at short midwicket who didn't need move an inch, taking the ball at head height. 42/6
62911.50310020
23.1 to D Langford-Smith, Dave's gone! Stepping back, not picking it at all, he tries to defend but it takes the outside edge, ballooning to Ricky Ponting at silly point. 80/9
31712.33141000
20.6 to WK McCallan, gone this time. McCallan was getting fed up with all this poking and prodding; a cemented front foot, a swing of the bat, the ball ballooning to mid-on who took a simple catch to his right. 72/8

8.5 to AC Gilchrist, done him! Great ball from Johnston, nipping back in off the seam at the lefthander, keeping low, the stumps go flying and the bowler does a jig. 62/1
