18.1 to PM Nevill, another one taken. Oh no. A full toss on the pads, would you want anything else? Nevill helps it on its way but picks out deep square leg. That's the shorter boundary too.. 133/6 18.4 to SP Narine, one more. 113 kph, another swinging slower ball. Moves away in the air, full and wide. Narine creams his drive but finds cover at a comfortable height. Renegades falling away. 135/7
Mitchell Johnson	4	0	31	1	7.75	9	4	0	1	0
16.6 to TLW Cooper, another wicket. Johnson gets Cooper. Renegades struggling towards the end. Back of a length on middle and off, the length that has troubled Cooper. He gives himself some room and upper-cuts towards third man. Marsh runs to his right and takes a good catch near the boundary. 128/5
Mitchell Marsh	4	0	29	1	7.25	9	3	1	0	0
14.6 to CJ Ferguson, another soft dismissal. All this does is give the Scorchers a sniff. Slower ball on middle and leg, Ferguson stays in his crease and swats the length straight to deep midwicket. Wanted to get that a lot straighter. 119/4
Andrew Tye	4	0	33	1	8.25	7	1	1	0	0
4.4 to AJ Finch, yikes. A soft, soft dismissal. Another knuckle ball outside off, so slow at 111 kph, sits up for Finch to hit anywhere he wants but all he does is slap the ball into short cover's hands. A fumble and a parry, but who cares as long as it's taken. Finch was looking superb.. 40/1
Ashton Turner	4	0	25	2	6.25	9	2	0	0	0
7.2 to MS Harris, got 'im. Harris' hit and miss innings ends. Pushed much wider outside off, Harris gets on one knee and mis-times a sweep. Sails high, more elevation than distance. Deep midwicket judges the catch well, takes a simple reverse-cupped catch. 58/2 13.3 to CL White, easily accepted. Flat delivery on leg, White backs away, looking to deposit one into the stands. Chooses a slog sweep to execute, but the ball skews off the outside half, the bat face turning in his hands. Carries to deep midwicket. Another reverse-cupped take, by Willey at deep midwicket. 108/3

18.4 to AJ Turner, no need to play! A wide turns into a wicket. What is happening. A slower ball that almost did not land on the strip. turner walked across and so, thought that the ball was closer to him than it actually was. He pushes at the ball and it carries to deep cover. Gone.. 138/4

5.2 to SE Marsh, and gone. Marsh falls. Steps out but doesn't get to the pitch, all he can do is squirt one to square leg via the inside half of his bat. Undone by the lack of spin on that one. He played for some, didn't get it. 36/1 17.2 to M Klinger, Narine gets the big one. Short delivery outside off, the ball moves away and Klinger chips his wicket away. Wanted one to deep midwicket. Threw his back in disgust almost as he made contact with the ball. A simple return catch off the leading edge. 131/3

19.2 to MR Marsh, and gone! A low, slow full toss outside off. The line couldn't have been better. Marsh chooses to drag the swat from well outside off and picks out long-on. Cooper takes the catch on the boundary. A little bit more on that and it would have been six. Fine margins. A huge wicket. 142/5
