- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2 and that's the first wicket for Behrendorff! Finch looks to defend the ball on the off stump line and for some reason decides to check his stroke. As a result, he gets an outside edge that's taken by the keeper 14/14.1 Thomas is on fire! Shorter ball outside the off stump and moving away. Harris chases it and gets an outside edge back to the keeper. Renegades need a miracle to pull this off now 24/32.3 movement in the air and also gets to move it across the batsman. Samuels falls for moevement, looks to defend it and manages to get an outside edge to the keeper 15/211.2 short ball on the leg stump. Rohrer looks to pull and gets a top edge. Thomas, manning the fine-leg region takes the skier and Behrendorff can heave a sigh of relief 93/510 another wicket for a seamer! Cooper makes room and looks to cut the short ball. He gets an outside edge and is caught by the keeper 77/416.4 full-toss on the middle stump. Nevill pulls but can't connect. Hogg, at deep midwicket settles nicely under it and takes the catch. After completing it, he sets off on a run to nowhere 124/711.4 and tries to clear mid-on with the first ball he faces, but he can't. Katich takes the catch easily and Sheridan becomes the second batsman to get a golden duck this innings 94/617.3 fuller ball on the middle stump. Slower ball. Rimmington is beaten by the lack of pace, the reason why he got the height and not the distance. North doesn't need to make a lot of effort to take that catch at cover 127/818.4 that's five catches for Triffitt as he grabs the outside edge from Pattinson's willow 135/919.1 short ball on the middle stump. Murali pulls, gets top edge and Beer at fine-leg takes a good catch.
