8.52pm The Scorchers have put on a challenging 167 on the board and they do have the bowling to defend this. It was the Sixers, though, who were on top for most of the innings, right from the first three overs. O'Keefe and Brathwaite bowled some tight overs in the middle and the Scorchers were struggling to get some partnerships going, until Inglis and Turner came together at 85 for 4. They took the Power Surge for a massive 34 runs and collected a good 69 runs in the last five, mainly led by Inglis' half-century. They looked down and out at one point, but this is a good total to defend

Brathwaite to Inglis, 2 runs, they want two again, has Inglis made it this time? He pulled the back of length slower ball to long leg, the fielder fired in a flat throw to Philippe, and oh my, this is really tight! One frame shows the bat is out just before the stumps are broken, and the next shows the bat is just inside when the stumps are well broken. We need a frame in between but looks like we don't have one, and the decision goes in favour of the batsman
