8.11pm The 100-plus stand between Short and Wells has ensured that the defending champions have posted a very competitive total, much to the home crowd's delight. At one stage, the Renegades bowlers were dominating the first ten overs, but an astute knock from two Adelaide youngsters have given them something to bowl at. How will the Renegades do? We'll find out super soon with the visitors needing 175.

Brodie Elliott: "Where is Chris Tremain? Surely he makes the Renegades best 11!" -- He's part of the squad. But Renegades are loaded with pacers: K Richardson, Mennie, Christian, Wildermuth and Shinwari. Reckon he would've walked into any other BBL XI

Richardson to Short, OUT, brilliant caught-and-bowled effort by Richardson! Back of a length outside off, and the attempted pull has been sliced in the air. Richardson runs towards mid-on, and puts in a big dive to earn another wicket for himself

W
Richardson to Wells, OUT, yorker! And that ends Strikers' highest-ever fourth-wicket stand. Aimed at the base of leg stump, and Wells shuffles across to try and flick. The ball beats his boot, and clips the outside of leg stump to give Richardson some reward

JW Wells b Richardson 42 (30b 4x4 0x6) SR: 140.00

Richardson to Short, no run, back of a length outside off, but he takes the pace off this delivery. Short skips down the ground to try and go across the line, but the ball sneaks under his bat

Can Strikers get 14 more and touch 180? Oh, wouldn't that be lovely for the hosts.

Gkm: "What a useless piece of cricket going around here. You guys are not doing any commentary on ranji trophy matches.Instead following this waste of time" -- there, there. No cricket is ever useless. And as for Ranji, we don't do commentary for most first-class games, unless it's a final or there's something special happening there. Enjoy the BBL till then, while our Ranji Live blog is there for your entertainment so that you never miss anything.
