- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 superb catch at backward point! Fullish length on fifth stump, draws Short into a drive but doesn't get the feet moving and it flies off a thick edge toward Christian on the ring who moves left and takes a sterling grab at chest height reaching across his body while tumbling to the turf. 20/13.1 full on middle and off, tries to cream this down the ground but skews this high over mid-on. Simple catch for Henriques taking two steps back from the ring. 25/211.1 slower length ball on fourth stump, heaves this flat to wide long-on, sharp catch taken diving forward a few yards in from the rope by Kerry lunging forward.. 89/49.4 back of a length on sixth stump, goes to cut and a massive edge through to the keeper. Christian vultures a wicket an over after it should've gone to Henriques. 84/319.6 slower ball lands full on fifth stump, leg side heave is skied over extra cover settles safely in the hands of Vince. Abbott now has 112 wickets in the BBL to become the competition's all-time leader. 147/811.6 slants this in toward fourth stump on a good length, dangles the bat out for a nothing shot and drags on. 92/514.5 short on the stumps, climbs on Garton trying to pull and miscues this gently to cow corner. Simple catch five yards inside the rope taken at rib height. 107/615.6 another miscued heave to midwicket flutters up over extra cover as a leading edge, Vince charges forward from the ring to take a lunging catch. 115/7Extras9 (lb 3, w 6)TOTAL147/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Matthew Short, 1.6 ov), 2-25 (Jake Weatherald, 3.1 ov), 3-84 (Jonathan Wells, 9.4 ov), 4-89 (Matt Renshaw, 11.1 ov), 5-92 (Harry Nielsen, 11.6 ov), 6-107 (George Garton, 14.5 ov), 7-115 (Rashid Khan, 15.6 ov), 8-147 (Thomas Kelly, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.5 offcutter does the trick. Lands on a good length angled across off stump, mistimes a cross bat swipe and the ball floats to extra cover on the ring. 52/26.5 flights this a touch more full on fifth stump, googly spins in to defeat a sweep and bowls him on middle and off stump. 44/116.2 flighted full around off stump, Henriques shuffles well across and misses a sweep, big lbw shout upheld. Live it looked like the only doubt was whether he was struck in line but replays confirm he was nailed in front of middle and leg, good decision. 115/49.5 good length ball on fourth stump, prods at this tentatively and a thin edge is well-held by the keeper Nielsen. 63/318.3 short and wide, swats this high in the air to the cover sweeper. He's not there as a catching position but it carries to him at head height two yards in from the rope. There's been a carousel of sub fielders on tonight and this time it is Hunt in position to catch it. 134/616.3 googly spins in and Christian plays around this defending on the back foot, hit below the knee roll in front of middle stump. Christian starts walking off before the umpire raises his finger. It was that plumb. 115/5Extras8 (lb 2, w 6)TOTAL150/6 (19.2 Overs, RR: 7.75)Fall of wickets: 1-44 (James Vince, 6.5 ov), 2-52 (Josh Philippe, 7.5 ov), 3-63 (Daniel Hughes, 9.5 ov), 4-115 (Moises Henriques, 16.2 ov), 5-115 (Dan Christian, 16.3 ov), 6-134 (Jordan Silk, 18.3 ov)
