7.48 pm Scorchers started off very slowly before Agar and Hardie started to bring life to the innings through the Power Surge to give their bowlers something to aim at defending. Sixers though still look like favorites at the halfway point. Stay with us for the start of the chase shortly.

Kerr to Hardie, FOUR, fullish length outside off, drives in the air through the gap between mid-off and extra cover and teases the mid-off fielder chasing to the rope.

Rodney: "Why are you talking "yards" when we are in Australia? You can think "yards" - just substitute "metres" when you write it." Last time I checked, the MCC laws write that the pitch is 22 yards long, not meters, which would be a different length.
