- This time, Williamson opts for the air path. Makes some space for himself and easily clears the line.
- That was a costly over from Starc. Williamson put him to the cleaners in a big way. Three boundaries in a row. It had a total of 19 runners.
- Williamson tries to clear the boundary but only finds Hazlewood when Starc overpitches it. The fielder, thankfully, drops it.
