Xavier Bartlett to George Munsey, SIX! Well, an error from Bartlett and he is punished! A length ball, down the leg side and it is easy pickings for the southpaw. Munsey just whips it nonchalantly over fine leg. There is a fielder stationed for the catch but he will have to go back into the crowd to catch that!

Xavier Bartlett to George Munsey, SIX! Third bad ball on the trot and Munsey is in the mood again! Overpitched, on the leg stump, George Munsey just flicks it massively over backward square leg.

Xavier Bartlett to George Munsey, FOUR! Slower ball, but wrong line. On a good length, but wide outside off, Munsey stands tall and punches it over cover!

Aaron Hardie to Michael Jones, OUT! CAUGHT! Hardie bends his back and gets the result. On a good length, around off, Michael Jones looks to pull but is done in by the pace and bounce. Gets a massive top edge on the leg side, which swirls high in the air. The keeper, Josh Inglis calls for it, running to his left, keeps his eyes on the ball and eventually, takes a good catch. Jones departs for 1(3), Scotland are 20/1 and need another 177 from 109 balls.

2.1
Xavier Bartlett to George Munsey, OUT! CAUGHT! So the missed run out chance does not hurt Australia. A short ball, outside off, banged into the deck, George Munsey looks to slap it through the off side but with the ball going away from him, it means that he ends up playing it a lot straighter. Miscues it in the air and Mitchell Marsh takes it calmly to his left from mid off, with a bit of a jog. Munsey departs for 19 (9), as Scotland lose their openers in the span of 3 balls. 177 more needed from 107 balls.

3.2
Aaron Hardie to Brandon McMullen, SIX! THWACK! Well, if he was comprehensively beaten by pace on the previous ball, he has comprehensively dismissed this one! Fractionally short, outside off, McMullen gets onto it in a flash and pulls it over mid-wicket. 168 more needed from 100 balls.

3.5
Aaron Hardie to Brandon McMullen, FOUR! ELEGANT! Overpitched, outside off, Brandon McMullen leans into the shot and drives it through mid off. Australia have a slip in place and hence, not kept a mid off. The ball races through that zone to the fence.

5.4
Marcus Stoinis to Richie Berrington, FOUR! TONK! Well, that's one way of handling pressure. Berrington was getting into a closed zone for the last couple of overs, so he decided to break free. Jumps down the track, gets a length ball and hammers it straight back past the bowler through mid off.

5.5
Marcus Stoinis to Richie Berrington, OUT! CAUGHT! Oh dear, in trying to counter pressure, he has given it away. Stoinis strikes in his opener. A hard-length ball, outside off, once again Richie Berrington tries to dominate the bowler. Jumps out of his crease and looks to go big. But is too close to the ball this time and only succeeds in getting a top edge. It has gone nowhere and Cameron Green completes the formalities calmly at cover. Richie Berrington departs for 5 (9) as Scotland have now lost 3/24 in the last 25 balls. They need another 153 from 85 balls.

6.1
Sean Abbott to Brandon McMullen, SIX! VIOLENCE! Sean Abbott comes into the attack and is welcomed in fine fashion! A short ball, outside off, Brandon McMullen pulls it over mid-wicket! 50 up for the home side. 147 more needed from 83 balls.

Marcus Stoinis to Brandon McMullen, FOUR! WALLOP! Your wish, is my command, says McMullen. After being chided to go over the top on the previous ball, Brandon McMullen responds fittingly. Gets a length ball, in line of the stumps and he stylishly whips it over mid-wicket. Unfortunately, the camera does not pan on either player's face to see the reactions but McMullen has done the talking with his bat. 129 more needed from 66 balls.

9.3
Adam Zampa to Charlie Tear, OUT! LBW! You miss, I hit. In his previous over as well, Charlie Tear played a sweep shot to a very full ball from Zampa. Connected then. This time, on another fuller ball, he employed the sweep but missed it. And you cannot miss straight balls. The ball hit his pads and the umpire did not take much time to raise his finger. Tear departs for 5 (6), as Scotland lose 4/50 in 47 balls. They need another 127 from 63 balls.

10.1
Cameron Green to Brandon McMullen, SIX! WHACK! Green is your name and green is the signal for me to go big, says McMullen! A length ball, outside off, Brandon McMullen gets across a touch, lifts his left leg up, ala flamingo style, similar to that of Kevin Pietersen and launches this straight back over the bowler's head, onto the sightscreen! 119 more needed from 59 balls.

10.3
Cameron Green to Michael Leask, FOUR! He knows to bat only one way and that's on display. A length ball, outside off, Michael Leask just slogs this through mid-wicket and finds the gap!

11.1
Adam Zampa to Brandon McMullen, SIX! WHAM! Tossed up, outside off, Brandon McMullen gets down and launches it over mid off. Has excellent timing and it clears the ropes as well! 105 more needed from 53 balls.

11.5
Adam Zampa to Brandon McMullen, FOUR! Lovely shot. Tossed up, outside off, McMullen leans into this one and drives it to the left of long off. Marcus Stoinis gives it a chase but then gives it up. 100 UP FOR SCOTLAND. 97 more needed from 49 balls.

12.2
Sean Abbott to Brandon McMullen, FOUR! Cheeky! Abbott bowls it on a back of a length, outside off, Brandon McMullen walks across his stumps to scoop it past the keeper and succeeds in doing so. Gets it between the keeper and short fine leg for a boundary.

12.3
Sean Abbott to Brandon McMullen, OUT! TAKEN! Expertly held by Tim David! A massive blow to Scotland. Abbott bends his back and digs it in short, outside off. Brandon McMullen shimmies down the track and tries to slap it away on the off side. He has to reach out and it means that he ends up dragging it down the ground towards long on. Hits it flat and to the left of long on where Tim David is quick across the turf to his left and takes a good running catch. McMullen goes for 59 (42) with Scotland requiring 91 runs in 45 balls.

13.4
Marcus Stoinis to Michael Leask, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! The change of bowling has worked nicely for Australia as they strengthen their grip on the game. Stoinis comes from over the wicket for the right-hander and goes fuller and slower, at the stumps. Michael Leask sets himself deep in the crease and slogs across the line. Gets undone by the slowness of the delivery and spoons it off the bottom half of the bat. It goes only as far as deep mid-wicket where Jake Fraser-McGurk settles under it and does the rest. Scotland are now 110/6, requiring 87 runs in 38 balls.

13.6
Marcus Stoinis to Chris Greaves, FOUR! Neatly done! Stoinis bowls it on a back of a length, over middle, Chris Greaves walks across and executes the scoop. Gets it past short fine leg for a boundary.

14.2
Cameron Green to Mark Watt, OUT! BOWLED! Another bowling change, another wicket for Australia! Green comes from around the wicket and takes pace off as he bowls it on a good length, on middle and leg. Mark Watt tries to work it away with the angle on the leg side. Plays outside the line of the ball as the ball catches the inside edge onto his thigh pad and then it deflects onto the stumps. The wheels are coming off for Scotland now.

14.3
Cameron Green to Chris Sole, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! You miss I hit, says Cameron Green! Two in two for the Aussie all-rounder and he is on a hat-trick now. Green switches to over the wicket for the right-hander and bowls it at pace, full and aimed at the off pole. Chris Sole clears his front leg and swings through the line to go down the ground. Misses the line of the ball completely and it goes through to clatter into the off pole.

Marcus Stoinis to Brad Wheal, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Marcus Stoinis has his third as Australia inch closer to clinching the win and the series. A touch fuller by Stoinis, angling in, on middle and leg, Brad Wheal backs away and goes for a swipe across the line. Gets a leading edge that goes straight up in the air towards cover. Xavier Bartlett calls for it and settles under it after running a few steps in front to complete the catch near his chest.

Marcus Stoinis to Chris Greaves, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Marcus Stoinis wraps things up! Australia put the series to bed with a clinical win. Stoinis spots the batter back away towards the leg side slightly and he follows him. Bowls it full and around the pads. Chris Greaves tries to swat it behind square on the leg side. He could not have picked out the fielder any better. Helps it away off his pads and it goes straight into the hands of Aaron Hardie at fine leg who takes the simplest of catches near his left knee. Marcus Stoinis ends with four wickets to his name. His figures read 3.4-0-23-4. Australia win by 70 runs and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series!
