Hazlewood to Boult, OUT, and he doesn't survive one! Hazlewood has six-for, career-best figures for him. Well bowled! Boult backed away towards leg again and slogged. Hazlewood had full view of the stumps and this time he was on target. Full and straight. Boult missed. Bang.

TA Boult b Hazlewood 5 (15m 12b 0x4 0x6) SR: 41.66

Boult has two to face this over.

Hazlewood to Bracewell, 2 runs, and that's why! Bracewell came forward, made room and lofted the ball high towards long off, Warner ran back from mid off and made a great effort, nearly got fingertips to it!
