2.38 pm After a stodgy start by the English overseas pair at the top, tremendous century partnership from Munro and Inglis to bring the Scorchers back into the match with a superb finishing flourish. Some poor fielding at times in the innings though by the Renegades didn't help matters. A would-be wicket when Inglis was on just 10 was denied by poor fielding awareness as Hatzoglou stepped on the rope at third man after completing an easy catch and then two poor efforts from Nabi at the death, including a very easy drop with Inglis on 58, cost them a number of runs. Will it come back to bite Melbourne by the end of play? Stay with us for the start of the chase shortly

Prestwidge to Inglis, FOUR, what is going on with Nabi?! Full on middle, drives this along the ground to Nabi, lazy bend over to field and it's a Matador red cape effort through his legs to the rope. Turned a dot into a boundary. He's been dreadful today.

Prestwidge to Inglis, no run, short ball wide outside off, Inglis premeditated a reverse ramp, perfect counter by Prestwidge as far as the length, but it's way outside off. Could have easily been called a wide and very lucky not to.

Richardson to Inglis, 2 runs, dropped! Sloppy from Nabi at long-on! length ball skied in the air wide to Nabi and he coasts to the ball ranging to his right inside the rope, awfully casual and his feet are still moving as the ball comes back to earth, clutches across his body and shells a sitter as far as skied boundary chances go.
Richardson on to bowl his fourth over at the death.

Prestwidge to Munro, 1 no ball, no ball over waist height, Munro shuffled way outside off to flick over fine leg but was looking for the ball to pitch and instead just ducked under the ball. All he had to do was flick it and it was a free boundary over fine leg. Free hit to come.
