Thailand in the blue, Australia in the yellow. Straight away, Australia through the middle. Sipaporn tidies up the first transition opportunity for Thailand. Reception from Piyanut. Sipaporn on the inside play. Sipaporn serves, handled well. And he's dug. Kempichaya, again. Overload on the right side. Now Kalaya has an ace serve. Straight down the seam. Again, Stephens goes first temp on the perfect reception. Stays out of the net on the tip. Kempichaya on the back row this time. Serve is handled well. And then Kaitlin O'Day capitalizes on the left hand side. Handled by Piyanut. Straight to the middle. That's Pornporn and Tatal. Tatal serves it, man. And Stephens can only save it. Well recycled by Milne. O'Day is dug. And the transition opportunity for Thailand is blocked. Chloe Walker. Kempichaya stays on Jesse Mann in serve. Off is dug. Hopefully be controlled. Chuan has found the sidelines. Double substitution returns for Australia. So the captain Kayla Stephens back at the net. Chachu on, uses that net to her effect. Back underway in set number two. Another good serve. Thailand off the net. It's a super point is dug. With a continuation. Super point dug again. But Tatal is ready at the net to put that one down. Australians straight into, it's a difficult rotation normally with the opposite hitting from position four. And it's dug again. It's a super point is not. It's a super point for the Australians to switch. Milne out to the right-hand side, which is where Kayla Stephens chooses to go. It's a super point dug. It'll be a high ball for Thailand. Continuations covered well. Australia's chance in transition. Out of the play again. It's a point off speed covered well by Stephens. Man with the angle. Great determination. Seems well handled. It's a super point again on the inside play. This time running. They'll be hoping Tatal will be seen off quickly from the service line this time. And a pressure in reception. One from once more taken out of the attacking options. Tatal serve has good effects. Another point coming back for the Australians. This is a very high free ball. Stephens with all options available. Likes to go to Chloe Walker. Chloe Walker serving for Australia. Strong serve. Ends up being just an off-speed swing. Well sped up by Australia. Also recovers her own play, but it's a free ball for Thailand. Movement at the net. Stage of the set number two. One set to the good. Odeh tidies up on the pipe attack after her own reception. Pass by Sasipakorn. The dig is good from Australia. Odeh working hard again. Another chance for Australian transition. Milne is dug. One point goes fast to Pimpichaya, who cycles nicely. Great defense down the line by Mick Stephens. Again, the Australians resolute in defense. Pimpichaya finds a way. Tough serve at Musil. Free ball for Thailand. Good choice against the middle attack. Sasipakorn this time. Ball back into the middle for Kanyarat. Wrap up set number two. Handles it well. Really nice swing from Ella Milne to work the hands of the block down the line. Jesse Mann. A little bit off that one. Sasipakorn this time on the inside out play. We'll wrap up set number two for Thailand. Kicks us off in set number three. Start off set number three with a point on serve. Reception by Mann. Stephens tees up Milne, but she's dug down the line by Pianut. Big block by Jaya Birkert. Will be looking to add to the Australian lead with her next serve. Milne again tracking back. Tucked out. Main serve is well handled. Sasipakorn on the inside play. Only results in a tip. Stephens returns the favor. Sasipakorn looking for the recycle, but the Australian block is hip to the game. Chloe Walker. Brilliant bump set backwards by Stephens, but Milne can only continue. And Charaporn swings for the deep corner. Serve is handled a little bit better, but the commit block is excellent in the middle. Sasipakorn can't find a way past the block, and the Australians now have a three-point lead. It's really turning it on. Milne continues. This time, Charaporn says, enough of that, we need to get some score rolling from our reception. Jaya Birkert. Handled reception by Thailand. Australia generate another transition opportunity. Kaitlyn O'Day. Charaporn stays on Jessie Mann. Milne less effective from the back row. Chanchu on with the recycle. Great dig by Sasipakorn. Scramble from Thailand. Draws the free ball. O'Day is dug. Sasipakorn goes strong on the pipe attack. This has been blown. It's time for them to try and get back in rotation. First attempt is blocked. Thailand get themselves another chance, and Walker is there once more. Steps out. First serve is an ace. Goliath serve. Passes Grieber off the net. Hanselman continues. Mann is covered by Towers. Hanselman, dug by the Thai team. Sasipakorn takes just enough off the swing. Goliath once more. Birkert gets the tip. Counterpart Tuttale works the block. Mann this time can't get enough angle or power to play block out. High ball swing for Mann. That will be enough for Thailand to wrap it up. Tuttale finishes off with a block.
