2.3 to LD Hearne, goes straight up, and the Strikers have another! Back of a length outside off and this shapes away late. Hearne has a short-arm-jab across the line but the late movement does for him. A tame chip off the leading edge and Overton does the rest at mid off!. 11/2
401223.00150030
1.5 to C Munro, soft, soft dismissal! Seems like a leg-cutter, hung up on a length wide outside off. Munro wants to launch this downtown but clinks it off the lower half of the bat. Spoons it towards mid off, and that is a very regulation chance. Early success for the Strikers, and for Liam Scott!. 8/1
5.6 to M Bryant, nicked and gone! Heat five down! Well, things have just gone further south for the Heat in South Australia. This is an innocuous delivery, on a shortish length outside off. Bryant wafts at it and all he manages is a feather through to the keeper. Heat in all sorts now!. 21/5
401934.75141060
4.2 to JD Wildermuth, another tame dismissal! Back of a length outside off. Stops a little in the surface, along with a hint of tennis-ball bounce. Wildermuth tries to slap it over mid off but the ball gets big enough on him. Spliced straight to Wood at mid off, and the Strikers are in control here!. 17/3
12.1 to XC Bartlett, gloved to short fine leg, and that is that for Bartlett with the bat! Sharp short ball on middle and leg, bowled at more than 148kph. This climbs through and Bartlett is awfully cramped for room. Cannot free his arms on the pull and the ball lobs up off the glove. The Power Surge claims another batter in the BBL!. 67/7
16.4 to HD Weibgen, goes straight up, and taken! Off-pace on a length on middle and off. Weibgen continues swinging like a rusty gate but is too early into the stroke. Only gets height and Harvey, in a slightly unfamiliar role with the gloves, settles under it in the leg slip region and makes no mistake!. 103/8
402927.2591200
10.2 to JJ Peirson, chopped on, and the trademark Hasan Ali celebration is out! Back of a length outside off and this seems to skid through. Peirson wants to dab this behind point but does not have a truckload of width to work with. The ball jams off the inside edge and cannons into the stumps!. 47/6
17.1 to T Balkin, peach, and Hasan has his second! Not sure many top order batters would have had a prayer there. Hard length, pitching just outside off and decking back in sharply. Balkin gets cut in half and the ball whistles past his inside edge to crash into the top of middle and off!. 105/9

0.40111.5030000
19.4 to O Patterson, Catch it is the cry, and that is what Manenti does! Darted in on a length just outside leg. Patterson hares down and swings at it with every sinew in his body. Slices it terribly, though, and Manenti running backwards and to his right from mid off, does the rest!. 121/10

7.1 to MW Short, A big wicket on debut for Patterson! Back of a length delivery pushed across the batter outside off. Short throws his hands at it but cannot keep it down. Cannot get under it enough either and he offers a regulation catch to Kuhnemann, who takes it smartly in front of his face at extra cover. Is there some hope for the Heat now?. 51/1
4042110.5094210
11.2 to MW Harvey, holes out to deep square leg! Bumper outside off and this gets really big on Harvey. Almost near his helmet as he makes contact, meaning he cannot muster the requisite power or elevation. Deep square leg runs in and does just enough in the end to hold on!. 86/2

201718.5050121
12.1 to J Wadia, Wadia bites the dust! Back of a length just outside off. Wadia has a swipe across the line but does not cover the initial line very well. Slices across it way too much and Balkin, stood slightly to the right of the pitch, does the rest!. 95/3
