- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.6 slower ball does it! Bunts a pull to a catching square leg! 120kph slower ball, on the hip, Eskinazi just rolls it away with corner with no commitment and bunts a chest high catch to Bryant who was quite close at square leg 19/13.6 top edge straight up to square leg! Good length on off, Whiteman is looking for something fractionally short off the last ball off the powerfully but it wasn't quite short enough, he gets a top edge that flies straight up and Bryant takes the catch at square leg 25/25.4 holes out to deep square! 130kph, on off, he tries loft over mid-on but gets under and it drags it square to Bartlett in the deep and he takes the catch well looking into the blazing sun. 35/38.1 bowled off the pad! Huge wicket! Inglis skipped out to the wrong length, it was slid in quicker, drifting into the pads, he misses out trying to whip and it comes off pad and clips the top of off! 49/412.5 high in the air, and Walter strikes! Short of a length, Evans moves across to scoop, gets a big top edge that loops straight in the air 83/515.6 oh, my goodness, he's done it again! Michael Neser with another stunner. Fantastic catch. Short of a length, hoicks it over mid-on. Neser turns, tracks back, eyes on the ball, then pulls out the dive at the end. Made it look almost routine 111/6Extras16 (lb 1, nb 1, w 9, pen 5)TOTAL163/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.15)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Stephen Eskinazi, 2.6 ov), 2-30 (Sam Whiteman, 3.6 ov), 3-40 (Aaron Hardie, 5.4 ov), 4-54 (Josh Inglis, 8.1 ov), 5-88 (Laurie Evans, 12.5 ov), 6-116 (Cooper Connolly, 15.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.6 Stunning catch from Agar! Avoids a huge collision as well. Back of a length climbing wide of off, he slashes and gets a top edge high towards deep third, Agar at backward point calls Behrendorff in from deep third but then changes his mind thinking Behrendorff won't get to it, so he goes himself and plucks it as Behrendorff slides just underneath him without clipping his legs 55/113.3 taken at backward point! Short outside off, leans back to cut and can't keep it down. Nicely taken. Heat rocking 84/49.2 caught behind! Back of a length wide of off, he gives room to cut but gets a thin edge through to the keeper! Tye gets his 150th wicket for the Scorchers 67/212.6 great catch! Down the leg side. Full, sliding into the pads, Renshaw tickles it fine and Inglis grabs with an out-stretched right glove 82/318.4 full, straight and given! Bryant misses his flick at what was basically a yorker. Calls the review because they have one left. Base of middle stump. 124/715.5 flicked to deep square leg! Excellent catch by Whiteman as he slides around the round. Walter flicked a fuller delivery off stumps, got it quite nicely but that was the long boundary 100/515.6 edged, caught behind! Neser won't do it today. That was quick and short outside off, Neser went for the pull and got a thin top edge 100/619.1 full at the stumps, heaved into the deep and nicely taken at deep midwicket 124/819.4 short of a length, high into the leg side, Agar settles under it at deep square leg. Tye has been brilliant today 128/919.5 it's all over! Four for Tye. Another short ball, it's swatted to mid-on.
