7.46pm Innings Break A good performance from the Sixers to bowl the Heat out for 148. Lynn made a slow half-century by his standards and Gregory played a great cameo. But Brathwaite was a class above taking 4 for 18. However, the pitch is not that batting friendly. It was two-paced and it nipped about. We'll see how the chase goes.

Sandy: "Unless Heat can get some help from the pitch, i can't see them defending this total against sydney sixers batting line up"

Rodney: "How do you know Steketee was given caught behind? As he didn't hit it, couldn't the umpire have given it for LBW?"

He was backing away outside leg. You could see all three stumps and it went off the pad back towards leg stump but missed leg stump. He was given out caught behind.
