- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 Edged and taken! You could just sense a wicket was around the corner, frustration was building up and courtesy of some very tight bowling, Heat draw the first blood. Johnson bowls at a back of a length on a nagging off stump line, he opens his blade trying to steer it down to third man but can't control his shot and gives a regulation catch to the fielder at first slip. 1/15.5 That's a lovely change-up delivery on a slower pace just outside off, he mistimes it to fine leg and Clarke can't make it in time, Bullseye from Brown, he hits the base of the stumps and another wicket falls down. That's a crucial scalp, new batter might take some time to tee off and this could stymie the run-flow 54/28.1 Holes out to long-off! Slinks forward on this slow yorker on off, tailed away from middle and he has a massive swing at it; it hung in the air for a while and Renshaw pouches it comfortably in his big bucket hands, didn't have to move a muscle to gobble that up, that's a prize scalp! 70/313.2 length ball on the pads, goes down on one knee tries to tug it over deep backward square but didn't get the requisite power behind the shot, Walter is safe as a house at deep square, reverse cups it making it look so easy. Another crucial wicket to stem the run-flow 101/510.3 Oh my word! Finch is gone! He skips down the track and fielder at cover takes an absolute blinder! That is a seriously good catch, sharp reflexes, diving to his left, McSweeney kept his eyes locked on the ball and leapt onto it like a cheetah snaring it's prey, Finch went hard at it but couldn't find the elevation. His patience was waning and Walter puts him out of his misery, struggled a lot in this innings, not a fluent stay by any means 80/415.2 his ebullience only lasted eight balls; a wonderfully well-disguised slow ball thumped into the deck, giving him no pace to work with, he tries to clear the ground over midwicket but didn't get underneath it, Kuhnemann settles under the skier and ball nestles in his hands, brilliant bit of bowling 115/618.3 117kph scorching yorker on middle and it disturbs the furniture, zingers are alight and Rogers has to take the long walk back into the pavilion; you miss, I hit stuff. Gottim with an absolute beauty; that is smart bowling at the death 139/718.4 he's not even in the frame, run-out by a mile! Barlett is on fire; slams a toe-crusher on middle, he cannot connect properly and was aimlessly hurtling down the pitch, the non-striker was already at the striker's end and he had to run down the pitch, Bartlett hits the bull's eye and Renegades progress beset by the loss of wickets at regular intervals 139/8Extras12 (b 4, lb 3, w 5)TOTAL162/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.1)Did not bat: Mujeeb Ur RahmanFall of wickets: 1-1 (Quinton de Kock, 1.4 ov), 2-54 (Joe Clarke, 5.5 ov), 3-70 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 8.1 ov), 4-80 (Aaron Finch, 10.3 ov), 5-101 (Nic Maddinson, 13.2 ov), 6-115 (Will Sutherland, 15.2 ov), 7-139 (Tom Rogers, 18.3 ov), 8-139 (Kane Richardson, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 back to back wickets! length ball holding its line on off, Maddinson hangs onto it brilliantly, takes a sprawling catch at long off, tracked the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hands, goes for a big heave down the ground but hasn't timed it well and Heat are in a spot of bother, need to calm things down a bit, it's not like they are chasing 200 27/21.6 vociferous appeal for an lbw and umpire doesn't agree but he straightaway asks for a second opinion, it looked mighty close and that's a successful review. Three reds on the big screen, pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting the middle, umpire has to change his decision and they get a big fish early in the piece; he was looking very dangerous out there, just didn't read the line and went with the flow, trying to put him under pressure but losing his wicket in the process, 27/15.2 tossed up fro over the wicket, drops short, ball gets stuck in the surface, he lunges forward and chips it back to the bowler who snaffles it with glee, tosses the ball in the air in ecstasy and Heat are in dire straits now; they have pressed the panic button and Mujeeb produces first bit of magic tonight with his cunning spinning methods - another big breakthrough 45/313.5 holes out to deep extra cover who gobbles it up gleefully! nicely floated up delivery just outside off, tries an inside out chip but not much oomph behind the shot and that's a crucial breakthrough, much needed for Heat 117/4Extras9 (b 2, lb 5, w 2)TOTAL163/4 (18.1 Overs, RR: 8.97)Fall of wickets: 1-27 (Colin Munro, 1.6 ov), 2-27 (Josh Brown, 2.1 ov), 3-45 (Nathan McSweeney, 5.2 ov), 4-117 (Sam Billings, 13.5 ov)
