- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.2 Two wickets in two overs for the Heat! Mujeeb dangles it up outside off, draws the experienced Klinger out of his crease. This curves away past the advancing batsman. The keeper does the rest 59/28.3 Brendon McCullum, you beauty! Great catch, reminds me of his heroics in the field in the 2015 World Cup. He tears in from long-on, dives forward, and plucks a low catch. Inches from the turf. Well done. This was on a length and on middle and leg, Bancroft swings but loses his shape. The bat turns in his hands and he winds up mis-hitting it to McCullum 56/114.1 Carved straight to Lynn at backward point. Might have been a carrom ball outside off, swerves away, sliced in the air to Lynn. Mujeeb collects his second wicket of the evening 87/319.5 Cutting misses his yorker, again. It comes out as a full-toss. It's still a hard-to-hit delivery. He swings and holes out to Ross at deep midwicket 134/615.1 Doggett yorks Cartwright and tumbles in pain. Has he done his hamstring? Okay, it's actually a dipping full-toss, Cartwright has a crack at it and inside-edges it back onto his stumps 90/418.5 slower short ball, swerves away outside off, Agar lines up for a pull. But he splices it hiiiiiigh in the air. It drops into the hands of McCullum at mid-off. He continues to have a great night in the field 120/5Extras12 (lb 5, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL135/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.75)Fall of wickets: 1-56 (Cameron Bancroft, 8.3 ov), 2-59 (Michael Klinger, 9.2 ov), 3-87 (Mitchell Marsh, 14.1 ov), 4-90 (Hilton Cartwright, 15.1 ov), 5-120 (Ashton Agar, 18.5 ov), 6-134 (Ashton Turner, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.5 Coulter-Nile hits a hard length on off and has Bryant popping a catch to cover. Back of a length on off, the batsman dares to go over the top but miscues it to Kelly, the sub fielder. Good comeback from Coulter-Nile 19/15.1 Popped to mid-on. Kelly, the sub, plucks another catch, running in and completing a tumbling grab. Back of a length and attacking the stumps, tucks up McCullum and messes with his timing. He spoons a pull in the air and holes out 41/210.2 Excellent overhead catch from Klinger. He had dropped a sitter at short fine leg earlier. This time he holds onto a skier. Lynn steps away outside leg even before the bowler goes shorter and wider outside off. Lynn still goes after it and slices it in the air. After a long hang-time, it falls into Klinger's hands. He judges it well and isn't he relieved 80/311.3 Behrendoff returns and pins Renshaw lbw. Nice and full, curves in ever so slightly, Renshaw plays around his front pad and falls over the leg-side flick. He is trapped in front of middle. The tracker suggests it would have missed leg, though 87/412.2 Coulter-Nile draws the outside edge and captain Mitch Marsh pouches it at slip. Credit to him for keeping himself at slip in the 13th over of a chase. Good length and bounces outside off, Pierson reaches out for a big drive and nicks it off. The ball flies to Marsh 92/5Extras13 (lb 6, w 7)TOTAL139/5 (18.2 Overs, RR: 7.58)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Max Bryant, 1.5 ov), 2-41 (Brendon McCullum, 5.1 ov), 3-80 (Chris Lynn, 10.2 ov), 4-87 (Matt Renshaw, 11.3 ov), 5-92 (Jimmy Peirson, 12.2 ov)
