- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.1 Topping finally falls in this festival. His back foot is drawn out of the crease as he moves forward to drive the ball. Tucker has the bails off in a flash and the square leg Umpire puts the finger up 64/110 the ball seems to stop a little as it heads towards the batter. Balbirnie is through the shot too quickly and can only pop an easy catch back to the bowler. Balbirnie then looks down at the pitch, wondering what on earth happened there... 78/210.4 golden duck for Egan. Yet another batter who stares down at the pitch after being dismissed. Was on the back foot to a short ball, it kisses the outside edge and through to the keeper. Not much that he could have done about that. 83/311 MacBeth looks to force the ball into the off-side. Ends up lifting the ball straight to the fielder at deep point. Hoey makes no mistake as the Warriors lose another. 83/412.4 another wicket falls quickly. Wilson gets under the ball too much as he looks to hit down the ground. Mid-on has plenty of time to settle before taking the catch. 89/517.4 Slower ball from McCarthy does the job. Hume flicks the ball high in the air, the bowler calls for the catch and runs towards square leg to take it. 118/619.4 Melly is cramped for room but still tries to muscle the ball over cow corner. Never gets enough power into the shot and the fielder takes a couple of steps to his left and takes the catch 138/719.5 hits the ball towards long-on. O'Sullivan was always struggling as he came back for the second run and Tucker runs him out by a couple of yards. 139/8Extras11 (b 1, w 10)TOTAL143/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.15)Did not bat: Josh WilsonFall of wickets: 1-64 (Sam Topping, 8.1 ov), 2-78 (Andy Balbirnie, 9.6 ov), 3-83 (Jake Egan, 10.4 ov), 4-83 (Scott MacBeth, 10.6 ov), 5-89 (Jared Wilson, 12.4 ov), 6-118 (Graham Hume, 17.4 ov), 7-138 (Cameron Melly, 19.4 ov), 8-139 (David O'Sullivan, 19.5 ov)
