36.6
Craig to Khawaja, no run
36.5
Craig to Voges, 1 run, "great work," they say as mid-on runs to his right and drives to cover a sweetly timed on drive from Voges.
36.4
Craig to Khawaja, 1 run, a little more bounce than he thought on that ball turning away, mistimes a cut to deep point
36.3
Craig to Khawaja, no run, tossed up on leg stump, dabbed into the square leg region
36.2
Craig to Khawaja, FOUR, that's a shot he is very good with. Attempted one earlier, but it was too full. This was the perfect length to get under and sweep strongly to the square leg boundary
36.1
Craig to Khawaja, no run, tossed up and dipping on the left-hander, Khawaja does well not to drive too hard. Checks his shot once he realises he was beaten in flight
End of over 36 (3 runs) Australia 136/3
AC Voges 3 (5b 0x4 0x6)

TA Boult 10-2-36-0
MD Craig 7-1-23-1
35.6
Boult to Voges, 2 runs, dabbed through the covers. That's a solid shot, with Voges moving that back foot across to get into a power position to let his hands flow through the ball
35.5
Boult to Voges, no run, teaser outside off, Voges does well not to chase after it
35.4
Boult to Voges, no run, back of a length on fifth stump, Voges defends gingerly
35.3
Boult to Voges, no run, shortish and slanted quite sharply across the right-hander, Voges shoulders arms
35.2
Boult to Khawaja, 1 run, that is gorgeous. Skiddy fast bowler canons another short ball at the batsman, and Khawaja responds with a front foot pull in front of square too
35.1
Boult to Khawaja, no run, bouncer, just outside off and soaring into the keeper's gloves. The bounce has been spectacular at the Basin
Boult needs to put his hand up for a big spell these last few minutes
End of over 35 (2 runs) Australia 133/3
UT Khawaja 50 (87b 10x4 0x6)
AC Voges 1 (1b 0x4 0x6)
MD Craig 7-1-23-1
TA Boult 9-2-33-0
34.6
Craig to Khawaja, 1 run, lobs up a full toss and a relieved Khawaja hits it to the right of mid-off to go through to a well made, stubborn old fifty.
34.5
Craig to Khawaja, no run, flighted on middle and leg, defended
34.4
Craig to Voges, 1 run, drifter gets the outside edge, and it slides past the lone slipper. Again the control of length, enhances the threat of a ball going on with the arm and the batsman playing for spin
Adam Voges walks into the middle. Slip and short leg
34.3
Craig to Smith, OUT, he's hit a swipe right back at the bowler, but Smith wants the third umpire to have a second look. A round of boos go up just at that point. The on-field umpires decide to be safe than sorry and acquiesce. Certainly not a bump ball, he had got to the pitch of the tossed up ball and looked for the on-drive. Went low to Craig, on his left, saw it through to his big hands and makes some amends for the earlier drop
SPD Smith c & b Craig 71 (112b 10x4 1x6) SR: 63.39
34.2
Craig to Smith, no run, flighted outside off, defended. Craig's been wonderful this afternoon. Excellent control of length
34.1
Craig to Smith, no run, well bowled. That was slower, and it dipped on off stump. Smith walks into a defensive push to midwicket
End of over 34 (3 runs) Australia 131/2
SPD Smith 71 (109b 10x4 1x6)
UT Khawaja 49 (85b 10x4 0x6)
TA Boult 9-2-33-0
MD Craig 6-1-21-0
33.6
Boult to Smith, 1 run, slings a fuller ball on middle and leg and Smith rounds things off with a flick to long leg
33.5
Boult to Smith, no run, back of a length on off stump, defended
33.4
Boult to Smith, 2 runs, picks the gap at cover, and secures a couple. Wasn't timed too well, the bat face turned on impact and impact was low down
33.3
Boult to Smith, no run, moves around the stumps for a good length ball that straightens outside off. Smith leaves wisely
33.2
Boult to Smith, no run, shortish and outside off, Smith does something that seems to say he's been holding back forever. A little drag to midwicket
33.1
Boult to Smith, no run, slides it outside off, Smith moves back and across and then keeps that bat firmly propped in its backlift
End of over 33 (maiden) Australia 128/2
UT Khawaja 49 (85b 10x4 0x6)
SPD Smith 68 (103b 10x4 1x6)
MD Craig 6-1-21-0
TA Boult 8-2-30-0
32.6
Craig to Khawaja, no run, worked to midwicket and Khawaja has to stay on 49
32.5
Craig to Khawaja, no run, mild appeal for leg before, except this was fired in down leg and the impact was also outside the line
32.4
Craig to Khawaja, no run, another quicker ball angled onto middle, Khawaja pushes to cover
32.3
Craig to Khawaja, no run, cuts one that really wasn't short enough. Khawaja's nervous now. Really nervous
32.2
Craig to Khawaja, no run, pushed through on leg stump, whipped to square leg. Took off for a single, when the man was specifically put there to stop it
Whack-Bob: "Entertaining days play so far - now over 300 runs and 12 wickets .... surely no ones complaining !!!"
32.1
Craig to Khawaja, no run, tossed up down leg, Khawaja attempts a lag glance for his fifty. No connection
