Short of a length, around the off stump. Matthew hangs back and punches it to cover.
Good-length delivery, on top of the stumps, nipping in a bit. Matthew Breetzke gets squared up to block and the ball squirts off the bottom edge and rolls off the thigh pad.
Spears it in and around the pads, on a fuller length, Ryan Rickelton whips it firmly to the left of mid on for a single.
FOUR MORE! Threads the gap expertly! Back of a length, outside the off stump. Ryan Rickelton waits back, uses the pace and square cuts it between short third and backward point for a boundary.
FOUR! A loosener from Starc and it gets the treatment. A bit too straight on the pads, Ryan Rickelton uses his wrists and flicks it neatly into the vast vacant acreage at deep backward square leg for a boundary.
Slightly fuller, outside off, Ryan steers it to cover-point.
Big turn into the batter from outside off, Matthew Breetzke gets behind the line by moving across and taps it out to the off side.
Flighted delivery, full and outside the off stump, Ryan drives it along the ground towards long off for a single.
Around middle and leg, tucked into the leg side.
Pitched full and spinning in from off, Breetzke mistimes the lofted shot off the inner half of his bat. But it lands on the bounce and to the left of long on for a single.
