- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 fullish length on middle swinging toward off, goes to flick to midwicket but the late movement produces a leading edge that floats gently toward Rogers in his follow-through. He does a bunny hop to take the catch reaching above his head. 0/18.3 floated too full on fifth stump, Head winds up to launch a slog sweep to wide long-on. He tries to clear the deepest part of the ground and winds up a yard short as Sutherland takes a head height catch while keeping himself balanced inside the rope. 39/217.1 full on middle, backs away from leg stump to try to go inside out driving over cover but can't clear Wells at cover sweeper, who takes a head height catch a yard inside the rope. 116/611.5 charges now and miscues a heave off the inner half of the bat. It holds up for Sutherland to take a simple catch crouching on his knees at deep midwicket two yards inside the rope. 74/312.6 full and wide, de Grandhomme slices this high toward the cover sweeper and Wells charges in 15 yards from the rope to take a simple catch. He was aiming for wide long-off but the turn produced the miscued shot. 88/416.4 flights this full on sixth stump, goes to slog sweep this over midwicket and produces a top edge with the turn that swirls over point and a simple catch is taken by Rogers five yards inside the ring at head height. 116/517.5 missed runout! At one end but they convert a second chance at the non-striker's end! Back of a length on fifth stump, flicked to backward point and initially sets off before being sent back. The throw at the striker's end misses after he'd given up. Once the throw misses, they set off for a single but an incredibly alert backup at deep midwicket from Wells results in a rocket to the non-striker's stumps that skims the top of the bails with Nielsen a few inches short. The third umpire is taking an eternity over concerns that Richardson standing over the stumps may have dislodged a bail with his hand before the ball hit the stumps. The decision comes back as out after three minutes of our lives we'll never get back. 118/7Extras8 (b 1, lb 2, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL142/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.1)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Matthew Short, 0.3 ov), 2-39 (Travis Head, 8.3 ov), 3-74 (Adam Hose, 11.5 ov), 4-88 (Colin de Grandhomme, 12.6 ov), 5-116 (Ryan Gibson, 16.4 ov), 6-116 (Alex Carey, 17.1 ov), 7-118 (Cameron Boyce, 17.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 goes again... and this one is taken in the deep! Steepling slog-sweep that almost hits the roof of Docklands Stadium, swirling chance to deep midwicket, and Hose clutches it in his fingertips! Six and out for Guptill, and Strikers are amongst 'em early 8/11.1 short, wide and cut straight to point! The errant half-tracker does the job for Agar and Strikers have two early. Didn't come on as Marsh threw the hands and guided a tame catch to the man inside the ring 14/22.1 pitched up, scudding into the back leg - given! This one looked much better, but Harper nevertheless wants to review as well. Just enough nibble to beat the inside edge and rap him on the bent right knee, umpire's call on line and it's smashing into middle and off! Umpire Treloar raises his finger for the second time and Strikers are all over this chase 16/311.6 back of a length, dabbed fine towards deep third, Critchley wants two immediately... but he ends up just short coming back to the striker's end! He had a slight detour to get round Siddle, standing mid-pitch, but basically misjudged it in the end. Strikers get their breakthrough, just as Renegades were looking safe 85/4Extras16 (b 3, lb 4, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL143/4 (18.2 Overs, RR: 7.8)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Martin Guptill, 0.3 ov), 2-14 (Shaun Marsh, 1.1 ov), 3-16 (Sam Harper, 2.1 ov), 4-85 (Matt Critchley, 11.6 ov)
