- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.4 taken at long-on! Full at leg stump, Allen looking to loft it straight off the back foot, can't get enough to clear JFM 182/57.1 taken at long leg! Poor ball, but gets a wicket. Slower delivery, angled into the pads, Marsh looks to pull from down to up, sends it straight to Sandhu who holds this one nicely 64/111.4 taken at point! Full and wide, Connolly drives square and doesn't pick the gap or get enough elevation. How Renegades needed that 120/214.4 taken at deep midwicket! Takes on another slower ball, down on the back knee, slog sweeps and doesn't get the elevation this time 164/315.5 another catch to deep midwicket...short of a length outside off, Turner pulls and doesn't get the placement 180/418.3 skewed to long-on...short outside off, looks to drag it to the on side and it's a simple catch for Fraser-McGurk 205/618.5 short outside off, pace off again, looks to drag a pull, top edges and loops to short fine leg...handy late wickets for Elliott who has had a good night 206/7Extras9 (lb 4, w 5)TOTAL219/7 (20 Overs, RR: 10.95)Fall of wickets: 1-64 (Mitchell Marsh, 7.1 ov), 2-120 (Cooper Connolly, 11.4 ov), 3-164 (Aaron Hardie, 14.4 ov), 4-180 (Ashton Turner, 15.5 ov), 5-182 (Finn Allen, 16.4 ov), 6-205 (Laurie Evans, 18.3 ov), 7-206 (Nick Hobson, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.5 taken at long-on! That should be it. Was actually in the slot, but the bottom hand came off the bat and Seifert could get the distance 142/60.6 huge appeal and given! Full, angling into the stumps, Brown plays across it and there's no review. Nicely bowled, a terrific opening over. Was a little leg side, but probably clipping at worse 1/15.3 another long hop, but taken at long-off! What a moment. Short and wide, JFM goes to the off side this time, slices it a touch and it drops down into the hands of the fielder just inside the rope. Well judged by the sub fielder 50/26.1 well taken by Evans! Rizwan swings across the line of a length delivery, gets a massive leading edge high behind the stumps and the keeper calls for it 53/36.6 hits him! A short ball around leg stump, 136kph, goes for the pull and gets taken in the chest. Maybe higher, could be the throat area. Oh yes, straight into the neck. That's nasty 61/38.4 taken at mid-off! Back of a length, goes for the drive, just skews it up in the air and it's a dolly of a catch for the skipper 71/49.5 and that's that! Fired through back of a length, Sutherland swings across the line, takes the top of off stump 82/516.2 direct hit, nicely done! Full at off stump, drives into the covers, Holt is quickly in and hits with the underarm flick 142/7Extras8 (lb 2, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL169/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Did not bat: A ZampaFall of wickets: 1-1 (Josh Brown, 0.6 ov), 2-50 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 5.3 ov), 3-53 (Mohammad Rizwan, 6.1 ov), 3-61* (Harry Dixon, retired not out ), 4-71 (Hassan Khan, 8.4 ov), 5-82 (Will Sutherland, 9.5 ov), 6-142 (Tim Seifert, 15.5 ov), 7-142 (Sam Elliott, 16.2 ov)
