No run.
Josh Hazlewood is the last man in, replacing Adam Zampa.
OUT! CAUGHT! 9 down now. Leg spinner gets leg spinner. Not with the best of deliveries either. A short ball, outside off, Adam Zampa punches it away but straight to Olly Stone at backward point and Australia continue their path on a slippery slope. 216/6 becomes 221/9 in the span of 9 balls.

Brydon Carse 66/3(7)

Wow. Test-match stuff. More evidence of the pace and bounce that Brydon Carse brings in his repertoire. This one lifts from a length, outside off, Zampa tamely fends it away, with his bat hanging in the air. In Tests, this would have gone straight to gully but we don't see a gully usually in white-ball cricket. The ball goes to deep third. A single taken to end an exceptional over from Carse - W W 0 1 1 1. 7-0-66-3 so far for him.

On middle and off, Zampa works it to the right of mid on for a single.

Oohhs and aahs from the crowd. Fow now, Zampa is safe as he everts the hattrick. A length ball, outside off, Adam Zampa dabs it towards short third.
Adam Zampa walks in at number 10, replacing Mitchell Starc, to face the hattrick ball.
OUT! CAUGHT! Two in two for Carse who is not only on a hattrick but could be in line for a 5-fer as well! Another nothing ball, but everything to gain for England from it. It is a length delivery, on the pads, Mitchell Starc looks to flick it casually and connects nicely as well. But he cannot clear square leg and it is a simple catch for Matthew Potts again! Forget how much Australia can get, how many overs can they face from here on?

This could end quickly now. Mitchell Starc walks in at number 9, replacing Aaron Hardie.
OUT! CAUGHT! The bowling change works immediately and a big smile flashes across Brook's face. Carse has been expensive today but he will take those two wickets - first Head and now, Hardie. A short ball, outside off, Aaron Hardie immediately sets himself up for the pull, But he is completely done in by the pace, which is more than 90 miles per hour. Additionally, Carse gets a good lift from the bumper and as a result, the pull shot attempted results into a massive top edge. The ball goes straight up in the air and Matthew Potts waits calmly for it at short mid-wicket. Another budding stand of 55 has been broken as Hardie departs for 23 (25). Australia are 216/7 with 89 balls still left in the innings.

Enough of part timers. Brook gets back to his main bowlers. Brydon Carse is back on. 6-0-63-1 so far.
