- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.6 Ellis with the breakthrough! Much needed for HH after that start. It's a well-teased slower ball. Good length on middle and he tries to thwack it leg-side. But a leading edge sends the ball skywards at short third and Rishad does magnificently to run back, track the ball over his shoulder, and complete the catch 38/15.5 edged and taken! Smart bowling from Owen, keeping it wide and full. Seifert chases after that ball, and falls over while trying to smack it through the off side. All he gets is a thick edge for the keeper to gobble up 66/26.4 Rish dismisses Riz! Fullish ball outside off and Rizwan tries the reverse sweep over backward point, but it doesn't have the height to clear the fielder. Catch taken on the circle 72/38.5 Rishad adds a second! The tall man bowls a flatter one that skids into JFM's body. To be honest, it's a half-tracker but JFM failed to time his attempted paddle well enough. Taken by short fine leg and he's furious! 95/415.2 experience wins over youth as Peake toe-ends a lofted attempted straight to Webster at cover. This was overpitched around off and Peake failed to get under it well enough to get the elevation over the infield 135/610.3 Calamitous for Renegades! Full on middle and leg. Hassan tries to flick it leg side, but he misses. Jordan appeals for lbw and Hassan runs down the track searching for a single without seeing where the ball went. Rehan at backward point grabs the ball and brings out the direct hit. Hassan is nowhere near the crease 103/516.2 full outside off. He comes down the track and tries to launch a big shot over the off side. But the shot's been sliced slightly, and the sub fielder at deep point runs in to take a simple catch 139/717.3 Well taken by Meredith! Full ball outside off and Tye tries to smack it straight. But he's toe ended it, and the ball has been scooped up in the night sky. Meredith walks across towards the imaginary short mid-on region and then takes the tricky catch 148/819.6 short ball around middle. Zampa tries to uncomfortably lift this rising delivery over cover but he doesn't have the distance. Taken inside the circle.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 First wicket for AJ Tye in Renegades colours! This is an overpitched ball outside off and Owen backs away before bringing the bat to the ball while stretching out. Takes a thin bottom edge to the keeper and there's the breakthrough 31/18.4 six and out! Been the theme of the day and Ward is the latest victim. This is full around leg stump and he gets down to slog sweep. But the googly forces him to play against the turn, and deep square leg had an easy take to get under 59/211.2 six and out. Again! Short ball dug in outside off. Webster tries to flat-bat a shot over mid-on, but it cannot clear AJ Tye on the circle 86/48.6 terrific delivery, and McDermott is bowled! Googly does the trick. Full ball outside off. Dips late and McDermott tries to defend with the full face of the bat. Ball turns in, goes past the bat's inside half, and off stump is pegged back 59/312.3 does Zampa have a third? full on leg stump and turning towards middle. Nikhil goes for a sweep across the line. Nikhil misses the connection, and the umpire is quick to raise his finger upon appeal. Nikhil reviews and that's crashing into the stumps 94/516.1 Peake takes a tricky catch at deep extra cover! Flat and full ball outside off. Rehan goes inside out over the off side, and has a lot of elevation. But not the distance. Rehan goes after a solid cameo of 23 132/6Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL163/6 (19 Overs, RR: 8.57)Fall of wickets: 1-31 (Mitchell Owen, 4.2 ov), 2-59 (Tim Ward, 8.4 ov), 3-59 (Ben McDermott, 8.6 ov), 4-86 (Beau Webster, 11.2 ov), 5-94 (Nikhil Chaudhary, 12.3 ov), 6-132 (Rehan Ahmed, 16.1 ov)
