Harper, bowlers help Renegades gallop to fourth win

After Harris gave the Renegades a usefully rapidfire start, Harper and Cooper needed only to keep their heads, something they did with the help of dropped catches by the Heat

9.18pm That's a pretty convincing win for the Renegades after their bowlers put in all the hardwork to restrict the Heat to 144, that turned out to be well below par. McCullum had not middled his sweeps very well, the other batsmen were holing out one after another and it looked like the chase wouldn't be that easy. But Tom Cooper, who returned to form, and Sam Harper put on a comfortable and quick century stand to make short work of the chase. They took on the short balls, they targeted the off side too, and found the gaps often enough to finish it with 26 balls in hand.

The Reneages are now second on the table, with four wins from seven and he Heat are still languishing at second-last place, just above the Scorchers. That's all from our ball-by-ball coverage tonight, hope you enjoyed every bit of it. It's goodbye from Ankur Dhawan and Vishal Dikshit

Doggett to Harper, 2 runs, he goes for a big swing, doesn't middle it at all, it's gone very high but mid-off can't get to it because he has to run back a long way. Two runs and that's it for the Renegades

Doggett to Harper, 1 wide, tries the full delivery now, but it's well outside off for a wide

Doggett to Harper, SIX, hooked away for a clean six, what a way to bring up the fifty. Another bouncer from Doggett and it was chasing Harper as he backed away but he didn't back away from unleashing that fearless hook that flew quickly over fine leg into the crowd

Doggett to Harper, no run, really good yorker on middle stump, Harper made some room but then adjusted to dig it out back to the bowler

Doggett to Harper, 1 wide, it's a bouncer, Harper hooks and misses, and the umpire calls it a wide after a second. Close call that one though

Doggett to Cooper, 1 run, full delivery just outside off, he swings but gets a thick outside edge that goes fine on off for two as third man slides to keep it in

Just 11 to go, here's Doggett again
