An excellent review from Mitchell Marsh and Australia gets another one. Half the Oman side is done with the bat. Vinayak Shukla is the next batter out in the middle. 

Adam Zampa to Mohammad Nadeem, OUT! LBW! Australia get the review right. Full and on off, Mohammad Nadeem gets down on a knee and reaches out in front for the paddle. The ball sneaks under the gloves and goes on to hit the crouched back thigh. An appeal for LBW, but it is turned down. Adam Zampa asks Josh Inglis if there was any glove.

Cameron Green to Wasim Ali, On a hard length, on off, Ali hops and keeps it out on the off side.

Has this been taken by Green? Only Josh Inglis could be seen appealing, and Green is not that interested as he starts walking to the start of his run-up. The replay shows that the ball had bounced just before Green held onto it. A good effort nonetheless.

Cameron Green to Wasim Ali, Wasim Ali is safe! Green bashes the surface, on middle. Ali swivels in the crease for the pull but he is hurried. He can only complete half of his bat swing and the ball lobs off the splice of the blade. Green moves forward in his follow-through and gets low while sticking out his right hand.

Adam Zampa to Hammad Mirza, OUT! TIMBER! Adam Zampa gets in on the act. Zampa keeps the stumps in play. The ball kisses the deck and skids through. Mirza presses deep in the crease but the ball is not all that short. It goes under his blade and shatters the stumps.

DRINKS BREAK! Oman have reached 47 for3 after 6 overs in their final World Cup group match against Australia. Despite losing a wicket on the very first ball of the innings, the Oman batters have maintained a steady scoring rate by aggressively punishing loose deliveries. Xavier Bartlett may have had another to his tally if Glenn Maxwell had not dropped a sitter. Australia have done well, but they'll feel like they have given away 5-10 extra runs at this stage. The Aussies will be keen on bowling with discipline and wrapping up Oman to a low total.

Cameron Green to Hammad Mirza, SIX! Width offered and Hammad Mirza cashes in! Short and wide on off, there to be put away. Mirza does not miss out. He stands tall, frees his arms and slaps it over cover for a biggie.
