Simon James Ste: "181/5 - Peter Della Penna: 1, James: 0."

James: "Well that certainly made me look a fool :) Having said that, the Scorchers justified your praise - superb death bowling. Let's see how their batting backs it up."

7:55 pm Some of the commenters may have thought yours truly had a screw loose saying 180 would be more realistic during the 15th over, but all the signs were there that the Strikers innings was floundering once Salt left. Credit to the Scorchers bowlers for some outstanding death bowling. Was Salt's knock the difference in making this an above par total? Or did his teammates let him down on what looked like a flat track? We'll find out soon enough.

Kelly to Rashid Khan, 1 run, ducks this bouncer while trying a tennis racquet swat over the leg side, thick edge goes wide of the keeper to deep fine leg.

Kapil: "Rashid Khan's hitting ability is really under used by AS." The Afghan superstar arrives with just five balls left to work with.

Kelly to Head, OUT, full and wide, Head flails at this taking a step back from leg, horribly off balance trying to flail for any bat on this to get runs and instead a thick edge goes through easily to Inglis.
