- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 And gets a wicket first ball! Nonchalant delivery to get a wicket, but Richardson won't mind one bit. Half-volley outside off, he looks for a drive on the up, but the bat turns in his hand and he can plonk a catch to cover. O'Neill bobbles but takes the catch on the second attempt. 37/22.1 Huge appeal for lbw and he's given him. He didn't hit it? There were two noises. Lawrence takes the review, belatedly. On a length and the ball swings sharply back into the batter, who plays all around it. Yep, the two noises was the ball hitting both pads. No bat. Ball-tracker confirms the ball would have hit the top of middle and leg stump. Umpire's call which was out, so Lawrence has to go. 21/114.1 Can't clear long-on! On the stumps, he backs away looking to clear the field again. Mistimes it completely, and Richardson does well to back-peddle and complete a good catch 95/57.1 The drop does not cost Renegades too much and Richardson has two! Slower ball doing the trick. Was on a length just outside off, he clears his front leg again looking to go over the ropes again. He gets it off the outer half of the blade to deep cover. Fraser-McGurk takes a simple catch. 61/38.4 He was all over Stoinis and has the big prize. Lands the length ball on middle, turns it sharply past Stoinis who gets squared up big time. Stays deep in crease, and misses the ball big time. The off and middle stump takes a beating. 64/419.5 The catch is held this time, same area where he was dropped. Low full toss outside off, he looks to go over deep midwicket, but gets it off the bottom of the blade. The sub fielder makes no mistake 137/717.6 Excellent catch from Fraser-McGurk running across from deep midwicket. Tossed up on leg stump, he looks to go over the ropes, does not get a decent connection. The fielder sprints to his right and even with his knee getting stuck in the turf, he manages to hang on 122/619.6 Slower back of a length ball outside off, he looks to go over the offside but can't lay a bat on it. Handscomb eyes a bye, but Coulter-Nile can't make it through. Is run out. 137/8Extras0TOTAL137/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.85)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Dan Lawrence, 2.1 ov), 2-37 (Thomas Rogers, 5.1 ov), 3-61 (Glenn Maxwell, 7.1 ov), 4-64 (Marcus Stoinis, 8.4 ov), 5-95 (Beau Webster, 14.1 ov), 6-122 (Imad Wasim, 17.6 ov), 7-137 (Hilton Cartwright, 19.5 ov), 8-137 (Nathan Coulter-Nile, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 Finch falls for a duck in his last game! In true Finch fashion, he steps out to have a big swing and gets a thick top edge that goes up high in the air. Glenn Maxwell settles under it taking a few steps in from mid-off and grabs it. No celebration from him. Finch walks off to raucous applause, raising his bat to acknowledge the crowd. 10/110.2 Edged and taken! What a comeback by NCN, as he pitches it slightly fuller on a fourth-stump line. Fraser-McGurk was going for another big shot and can only get a thick outside edge. Handscomb takes one of the easier catches he will get and JFM walks for 42 78/210.4 Great catch running back from mid-on! Cox goes for a similar shot as the last ball, but this wasn't as full and comes off the higher part of the bat. Cartwright has to run back a fair distance but he grabs it. Can this be a momentum-shifting over? 82/311.5 Goes for the big swing again and this time he miscues it to backward point! Full outside off and he throws his bat at it, it comes off the toe end and goes high and Rogers backtracks to hold on to it. Renegades lose three in the Power Surge! 93/4Extras5 (lb 3, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL139/4 (17.2 Overs, RR: 8.01)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Aaron Finch, 2.1 ov), 2-78 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 10.2 ov), 3-82 (Jordan Cox, 10.4 ov), 4-93 (Will Sutherland, 11.5 ov)
