Another gem from Shiva: "Mitch Marsh hit 44 runs off 13 deliveries from Ben Laughlin in this innings - the third-most runs scored by a batsman off a bowler in a BBL game."
7:55 pm Marsh with a career-best knock and the Scorchers also post their highest ever total in the Big Bash. This will take some special effort to overhaul, but the Heat did score 119 in just 8 overs earlier this week behind Banton's bonanza at the top of the order. The chase won't lack any entertainment that's for sure. Stay tuned for the Heat's reply!

Laughlin to Marsh, SIX, a hat-trick of sixes to end the innings! Another attempted yorker gone awry as it winds up being a shin high full toss on leg stump and he destroys this high and deep over cow corner to give the crowd one more thrill heading into the interval.

Laughlin to Marsh, SIX, hello! Short, full, in between, doesn't matter tonight for Marsh! Attempted yorker is too full and creamed over the leg side rope.

Laughlin to Marsh, 2 runs, full on the stumps, flicks this behind square and they charge back for an excellent two. Lalor with a weak relay to drag the keeper Peirson away from the stumps. Direct hit or even an accurate relay with some mustard behind the throw would have had him runout on the second.

Laughlin to Marsh, 2 runs, short ball on the stumps, goes to heave a sixth six over midwicket but mistimes it landing just beyond the 30-yard ring, but well placed for a two to keep strike.
