Australia's quick bowlers made predictable early breakthroughs but Kenya provided some resistance to reach 113 for 3 chasing an improbable 325. Brett Lee and Shaun Tait worked up decent pace in their first run-out for a week however, the support from Mitchell Johnson and Steve Smith was less convincing as Tanmay Mishra produced a classy innings.
There was swing for Lee and in his second over he found the outside of Maurice Ouma's bat, but already Alex Obanda had shown some guts when he upper cut Tait for six over third man. That, though, was nothing compared to the blow be unleashed in Tait's next over which sailed deep into the stand at long on after he'd picked a slower ball.
Tait managed a smile and shelved the slower deliveries. A bouncer whistled past Obanda's head before the batsman lost his composure against a low full toss which he tried to swing through the leg side.
The Obuya brothers, David and Collins, put their heads down and showed some grit to see off Lee and Tait only for their sibling understanding to let them down. David pushed the ball towards midwicket but Collins didn't move, leaving his brother stranded as he tried to get back and David gave a few home truths as he departed.
