8.44 pm A limp Power Surge sums up a generally limp innings from the Renegades, whose season long batting issues continue here. Webster top-scores with 50 but was batting at a strike rate under a run a ball for more than 75% of his innings before a few late swipes at the death. Feels like a well-below par total. But we'll see how the Heat do coming out to chase. Stay with us for the reply shortly.
Bernie: "I read on Cricinfo today that in the early days ( 1890's) of Test cricket a hit over the fence was only worth 5 runs and to earn 6 runs you had to hit it out of the ground. Why not these days 5 runs for over the rope and 6 runs into the crowd? 6 for a ball to lob just over the rope seems a bit excessive compared to one that goes into the crowd or beyond."
Morkel will bowl a 4th. My understanding of the X-Factor swap was you can only bowl 3 overs if the player you are replacing has already bowled one. But I guess not!

That shot finally takes him above a run a ball strike rate.

Last ball boundary spoils Morkel's figures somewhat. Still only went for a run a ball.
Hang time on that Lynn catch off the skier was 5.46 seconds. Long time to ponder existential thoughts.
Morkel comes around the stumps now.
