Lands this cutter at 112 kph on fourth stump back of a length, Cockbain goes to pull but is through the shot a touch early and drags a toe edge onto off stump to fall two short of a would-be half-century. 104/43.4 Bowled him! Loose shot and it crashes into the top of middle! Good length angled into off, Head's front foot went outside leg, he tried to launch straight and got beaten on the inside edge and it lights up middle! 21/3Extras11 (b 1, lb 3, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL167/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.35)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Alex Carey, 0.3 ov), 2-13 (Matthew Short, 1.6 ov), 3-21 (Travis Head, 3.4 ov), 4-104 (Ian Cockbain, 14.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 caught behind! Back of a length bouncing and seaming away, he tried to swat a pull shot over midwicket, gets an edge off the toe of the bat, easy catch for Carey 7/17.1 miscued to mid on! Beaten for pace. Shorter ball banged in, he tried to pull but got it off the splice and it loops to Cockbain at mid on. Easy catch 51/213.2 full speed yorker this time, Henriques is late jamming the bat down and can't stab out a 139 kph delivery. Middle and off stump are rattled. 96/314.1 length ball on off stump, miscues a drive trying to clear the off side and Renshaw holds onto this one on the ring at cover, taking it at waist height. 101/419.1 full and wide on fifth stump, shovels this to wide long-off, Abbott's gem comes to an end. Head shuffles 15 yards to his left and takes a safe rib high catch two yards inside the rope. Head erupts with fist pumps. 156/519.2 full on off, whips this flat through deep midwicket for one, Dwarshuis panics after completing the first and for some reason turns back instead of coming back for two. Easy two was there, especially with a terrible relay from Renshaw but Sixers pay for the indecision during the final over. They had to run back for two no matter what to keep Kerr on strike. Even with the awful throw, Carey collects and runs seven yards to lunge into the stumps to get the bails off before Dwarshuis can get back in his crease. 157/619.5 length ball on the stumps, slapped past the non-striker's stumps and they jog an easy two. 166/6Extras5 (b 1, lb 1, w 3)TOTAL170/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.5)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Justin Avendano, 2.2 ov), 2-51 (Jake Carder, 7.1 ov), 3-96 (Moises Henriques, 13.2 ov), 4-101 (Dan Christian, 14.1 ov), 5-156 (Sean Abbott, 19.1 ov), 6-157 (Ben Dwarshuis, 19.2 ov), 6-166* (Jordan Silk, retired not out )
