- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 Slower ball does the trick! Meredith bowls a 113 clicks slower bouncer wide outside off, Marsh goes for the pull shot over midwicket, miscues the stroke and the right hand goes off, chipping it in the air to midwicket for a simple catch right outside the circle. 25/18.2 In the airrrr. And taken by Jordan! A fraction short of a length ball and Allen tries to go downtown again, plays the short-hand jab and miscues it towards long on. Jordan tracks back, settles near the ropes and completes the catch, keeping his balance too inside the boundary cushion! 73/36.2 The leg spinner gets his first scalp! A massive wicket for the Hurricanes! Tossed up a fuller length ball outside off, played the lofted cover drive against the wrong-un's turn, and did not time it well enough to clear the ropes. Chris Jordan comes forward and gobbles it up with ease. 48/29.2 Chips it to short fine leg! Massive smile on Rishad's face, and the Hurricanes are celebrating! Length ball on middle-leg, a bit of an extra bounce off the pitch and Hardie sits down to play the paddle sweep, connects the leading edge and gifts a regulation catch to Owen at the edge of the circle. 79/411.3 Rehan strikes! A half-tracker, quicker ball pitching wide outside off and turning away sharply, moves away from the wicket early, extends his arms and bludgeons it hard and flat towards long off. Tim David moves to his left side a few steps and gathers the ball safely. 86/515.3 Done him with the stock delivery! Length ball pitching on the off stump line and turns away sharply, slower through the air and Evans charges down the track to slash it over the infield, wild swing and a miss, and McDermott does the rest behind the stumps. 131/619.1 bouncer ball on the leg stump line, Hobson plays the swivel pull shot and chips it with the outside part of the bat to short fine leg 145/818.4 Agar's misery with the bat comes to an end! Slower bouncer ball on middle-leg, waits for it and plays the pull shot, mistiming the stroke to deep midwicket. Nikhil sprints in and takes a tumbling diving catch. 145/7Extras2 (b 1, w 1)TOTAL150/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.5)Did not bat: M BeardmanFall of wickets: 1-25 (Mitchell Marsh, 3.2 ov), 2-48 (Cooper Connolly, 6.2 ov), 3-73 (Finn Allen, 8.2 ov), 4-79 (Aaron Hardie, 9.2 ov), 5-86 (Ashton Turner, 11.3 ov), 6-131 (Laurie Evans, 15.3 ov), 7-145 (Ashton Agar, 18.4 ov), 8-145 (Nick Hobson, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 Connolly is pumped up, and Owen has to depart! Bowls a widish half-tracker ball outside off, 92 kph; Owen extends his arms and carves it straight to the cover fielder. Owen shakes his head in disbelief and heads back to the pavilion. 6/13.1 Ward gifted his wicket away! Hard length ball angling in on the body, dances down the track and tries to whack it through the line of the ball, connects the sticker part of the bat and finds the mid-off fielder inside the circle. 20/213.5 Connolly has the last laugh! Quicker ball fired in at the stumps with the arm; Chaudhary plays off the front foot, gets beaten by the speed and drift of the ball, gets trapped in front of the stumps and hits the pad. 102/47.4 Massive appeal and given! Quicker arm ball on the off stump line, McDermott attempts the reverse sweep and misses the line of the ball and hits the pad in front of the stumps. McDermott opts to review it. Ulta Edge confirms no bat is involved. Ball tracking is coming up, all three reds and hitting the lower part of the middle stump. The Hurricanes lose their third wicket and their only review too. 39/314.3 length ball on the leg stump line, plays to the midwicket area and does not connect, hits the pad. Tim David has signalled for the physio and is moving gingerly as he removes his gloves and helmet. After a lengthy consultation with the medical staff, it appears David is retired hurt and is now making his way back to the dressing room. 103/416.2 shortish length ball outside off, Rehan tries to send it downtown and does not time it well enough, finds Evans at long on near the ropes. 114/519.2 slices it straight to Hobson! A short pitched ball angling away outside off, slices it in the air with the outside part of the bat, and picks out the lone off-side ring fielder at backward point 149/6Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL153/6 (19.3 Overs, RR: 7.84)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Mitchell Owen, 0.2 ov), 2-20 (Tim Ward, 3.1 ov), 3-39 (Ben McDermott, 7.4 ov), 4-102 (Nikhil Chaudhary, 13.5 ov), 4-103* (Tim David, retired not out ), 5-114 (Rehan Ahmed, 16.2 ov), 6-149 (Chris Jordan, 19.2 ov)
