Glenn McGrath has taken 3/18 off 4 overs to leave the Australian XI in a precarious position before a late blast by Cameron White and George Bailey lifted them to 5/173 off their 20 overs. White scored 44* off 24 balls with 2 massive sixes while Bailey scored 30* off 16, also hitting 2 sixes, with the biggest 6 of the innings straight down the ground disappearing into the 2nd tier of the grandstand.
