- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.1 pitched up outside off, slogged straight into the hands of deep midwicket 60/114.2 slashes at a shortish one and gets an outside edge to third man. They push back for the third and Harper gathers the throw to disturb the stumps. Reckon that's on the line. Yep, given out! Very very close, but the correct decision in the end. Another needless run out, and this time it's the set Weatherald 104/49.5 miscued in the air. Slanted across and he swipes across the line to get a leading edge that cover runs back to settle under 78/210.6 drops it into the off side for a very quick one, but has there been a run out? TV umpire summoned. Oh, yes, he's gone! Dives forward with the left hand holding the bat stretched out but bat's in the air, though it's past the line. Gone! Mindless attempt at a single 86/315.6 tame! Just chips this fuller one straight back to give Christian catching practice. Closes the face early as he had dragged the pace off, so that certainly played a part. Bit of a leading edge and no problems for Christian 109/517.6 razor sharp angles on off, closes the face and wears it on the pad.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.3 gets him to nick through. Flashing outside off as this one's angled across and gets enough bounce to leave him uncomfortable as he's trying to run that down to third man. Simple catch to keeper 8/17.5 plumb! Another sweep attempted, not full again.. he's struggled to pick the legnths here. On a length and a googly, going on with the arm to hit middle and leg 40/43.1 collision between keeper and short fine leg but Carey holds on. Harper gets down to scoop this fine but can't quite find the middle of the bat, Carey moves back and across and holds on despite tumbling 9/26.1 very, very soft. Short of a length, extra bounce and stops on him a little, just checks his stroke as he punches at it and pops a simple catch to cover 32/319.2 length on off, shovels it without getting hold of it entirely and sends a catch down the throat of long-on 121/99.1 straight through! Tossed up, inviting the big swipe, which Nabi does but doesn't manage to get underneath it and the ball crashes into the stumps. Renegades putting on a sorry display here! 44/510.6 comes down the ground and yorks himself.. not much he can do from that position, toe-ends it into the surface as it goes on to clatter into the stumps. Renegades unravelling spectacularly. Will they last 20 overs? 51/616.4 and the bowler has the last laugh. Cleans him up next ball. Sower ball, Wildermuth's backing away and can't put bat to ball 91/718.4 dead plumb. A yorker that the batsman fails to clip away and hits him in front of middle 115/8Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL126/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.3)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Mackenzie Harvey, 2.3 ov), 2-9 (Sam Harper, 3.1 ov), 3-32 (Tom Cooper, 6.1 ov), 4-40 (Cameron White, 7.5 ov), 5-44 (Mohammad Nabi, 9.1 ov), 6-51 (Dan Christian, 10.6 ov), 7-91 (Jack Wildermuth, 16.4 ov), 8-115 (Cameron Boyce, 18.4 ov), 9-121 (Beau Webster, 19.2 ov)
