- BATSMENRB4s6sSR13.4 Has Siddle successfully done the reverse whip? Aw, yes! Full on middle, and flicked to Agar at square leg. Ferguson doesn't want the run, but Khawaja's halfway down the track. Throws to Siddle who is far away from the stumps, and with Khawaja scampering back he does a no-look flick that clips off stump 104/23.6 the extra ball gets a wicket! Quick one, top of off, angling in to Hales who was making room, beats him for pace as it skids on and crashes into off stump 31/118.3 but Ferguson's done his job before holing out at deep midwicket. Quicker in the air, full on off, and the attempted slog gets a top edge on this occasion 163/319.2 leg stump knocked over as he strikes with the yorker. Ross had his leg stump exposed n his stance, and Siddle followed his own strength. You-miss-I-hit stuff 166/419.4 fourth score of zero in a row! Full toss on middle, and he misses the flick after walking across the stumps. Big appeal, and the umpire raises his finger (no fly itch this time). 166/5Extras5 (nb 2, w 3)TOTAL168/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.4)Fall of wickets: 1-31 (Alex Hales, 3.6 ov), 2-104 (Usman Khawaja, 13.4 ov), 3-163 (Callum Ferguson, 18.3 ov), 4-166 (Alex Ross, 19.2 ov), 5-166 (Daniel Sams, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR13.3 silence in the crowd as Weatherald holes out to Green at long on. Slower ball, on off, and the attempted loft doesn't have the power 106/51.4 slower one, excellent change, saw Salt backing away again, held the pace and the length back, he tried to go over the off side anyway but mistimed it straight to extra cover 2/12.5 short and hammered, but straight down Daniel Sams throat! Unlucky for short, it was a long-up, he got into a good position and got plenty behind it but found Sams on the boundary who held his balance as he caught that inches from the rope 11/25.4 length outside off, he backs away, slashes and misses, or no? he's feathered that to the keeper and Morris has his revenge 36/312.5 full and wide, and he goes for the slap over point. Nearly a perfect shot, but didn't have the elevation to clear Ross at deep point. Wells out -- a rare dismissal for him this BBL 99/415.5 strikes again! Full outside off, and he goes for an inside out drive. Sliced to deep extra cover instead 118/715.2 soft dismissal as Nair bowls the legbreak.Valente goes for a shot over long on, but leading edge went straight in the air to the captain at cover 116/619.5 full toss, outside leg stump, and flicked to deep backward square leg. Rashid comes back for the suicidal second run, but he was never going to make it. An entertaining innings comes to a close. Gets a standing ovation too 165/819.6 full, outside off, and Agar tries to ramp but the ball goes through him. Keeper throws the ball back to Morris, and he gets the run-out at the bowlers' end.
