- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 Stirling leans back and hits the ball straight at point. The fielder bends his knees, cups his hands and takes the catch in front of his face. Sjort and Sweet from Stirlo. 16/11.3 Adair hits the ball to long-on. Delany is on the boundary, takes the catch and his momentum is taking him over the rope. He flicks the ball up in the air, jumps back into the field and takes the catch. 23/28.2 bowled him! McCollum moves forward and tries to turn the delivery into a full toss. Plays down the wrong line and the legstumps ends up flat on the floor. 105/311.4 slices the ball high in the air. De Freitas has plenty of time to settle under the ball at backward point and takes the catch 125/68.5 Hoey leaps up in the air in celebration as he bowls Rock. The batter was back in the crease, and looks to late cut the ball. Doesn't connect with the bat and the stumps are hit once again. 107/49 Calitz is back in the crease and looks to pull the ball.

He is plumb in front of the stumps and the Umpires finger goes up. 107/519 Mayes keeps attacking and hits the ball towards the long-on boundary. De Freitas is in the right place again and crabs a couple of steps to his left to catch the ball. That's three catches in the Innings now for the Lightning opener 182/912.5 off-stump goes cartwheeling across the ground! Little has too much pace for McCullough, looks to jam the bat down on the ball and is too late on the shot. Great sight for any fast bowler. 134/716.2 He doesn't get the hatrick, altough he does pick up another wicket! The ball is hit towards long-on, the fielder doesn't have to move as the ball picks him out 151/8Extras14 (b 1, lb 2, w 11)TOTAL187/9 (20 Overs, RR: 9.35)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Paul Stirling, 0.4 ov), 2-23 (Ross Adair, 1.3 ov), 3-105 (James McCollum, 8.2 ov), 4-107 (Neil Rock, 8.5 ov), 5-107 (Ben Calitz, 8.6 ov), 6-125 (Morgan Topping, 11.4 ov), 7-134 (Carson McCullough, 12.5 ov), 8-151 (Sean Davey, 16.2 ov), 9-182 (Thomas Mayes, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR18.1 bowled him! Tector looks to play across the line, it was the faster ball from Robertson and the stumps are struck once again. Huge cheer from the Knights and Tector has to go 173/70.2 The ball hits a crack and keeps very low. De Freitas is back deep in the crease and is hit on the back leg. Humphreys hares down the other end screaming the appeal and the Umpires finger goes up 1/110.4 the drinks break strikes! It's very full from the bowler, Harry can't get his bat down in time and the ball hits the bottom of the stumps. The bails fall to the ground 112/212.1 Lynch is down on one knee and looks to slog sweep the ball. It's a top edge that flies high in the air and Rock moves slowly towards short fine leg to take the catch 128/315 Tucker is down on one knee and looks to sweep the ball, doesn't connect and he is bowled around his legs. Humphreys gets the airplane celebration out as he runs off to his teammates. 150/415.3 Dockrell is gone first ball! Looks to run the ball down to deep third, the ball swings past the bat and kisses the top of the stumps. Mayes screams in celebration and Dockrell has to go 151/515.5 Mayes gets another! Hoey looks to attack a short ball, gets a little nick behind. Rock leaps up and catches the ball above his head. 151/619.1 Delany pushes the bat out at the ball, gets a little nick through to the keeper and the Umpires finger goes up.
