8.20 pm Limp finish to the innings by the Scorchers. They looked nailed on for 180, especially after a robust Power Surge in which they took 28 runs off overs 15 and 16. But they fail to score a boundary over the final 24 deliveries, scratching together 20 for 3 off of that home stretch. Heat should be favorites to knock off these runs. Stay with us for the start of the chase shortly.

Bartlett to Evans, 3 runs, great effort by Duckett at deep midwicket turns six into three. It was short on the stumps and pulled out to the leg side rope. Duckett takes a catch but has to flick it back into play as he was going over the rope. The batters alertly come back for a third while Duckett is torn between picking up his sunglasses and chasing after the ball.
