9.40pm Phew! What a match, what a finish! Scorchers nearly batted themselves out of this contest but they scrape through in the end in the tightest of finishes. And in his WACA farewell, Brad Hogg will be left ruing that catch he put down to reprieve Ashton Turner. Turner was on 16, Scorchers were two down, and the required rate was mounting. Had that catch been taken, this could have been such a different story. But that's not to be and Scorchers go top of the table after a record chase in front of a record crowd. That's all we have. Thanks for joining us, folks!

"To come back with the bat was unbelievable," says Ashton Agar. "Ashton Turner played an incredible innings. It's what you dream of as a kid - a four off the last bal, a hundred - these are the kind of things you dream of. We'll take great confidence from this performance."

M Nabi to Agar, 1 run

No, we won't. A full toss to end it all that's driven wide of long-off and that seals a hard-earned win for the home team much to the delight of a record local crowd

Scores level. Can we get two dots?

1
M Nabi to David, 1 run

drills this from outside off down to long-off. Not clean connection as he chops into the ground but that will do

Tim David with 2 to get off three

19.3
1
M Nabi to Agar, 1 run

comes down the track and whips this towards wide long-on who's on to in a flash. Only time for a single

19.2
M Nabi to Agar, no run

fuller ball, pushed into the cover fielder again. Pressure building again

19.1
M Nabi to Agar, no run

slaps at a wide fuller delivery and hits it straight to cover. Dot

Agar on strike. Three runs needed. Two for a Super Over. Nabi with the unenviable task of bowling it

Kane Richardson to David, 2 runs

he goes for the big shot nonetheless and it helps them knock off two more from the target. A full and wide delivery that's heaved over the in-field in the extra cover region

18.5
Kane Richardson to David, no run

oh, dear! A third swing and a miss. Scorchers don't need to be making it harder for themselves here. It's a simple equation. Stands in the crease and simply swipes across the line to get beaten

18.4
Kane Richardson to David, no run

even shorter and bounces even more this time. Beats him with pace as he tries to slash at it again

18.3
Kane Richardson to David, no run

flashes at a shortish delivery and there is no room so he gets beaten

Two slips in place in the 19th over!

18.2
1
Kane Richardson to Agar, 1 run

cuts a short and wide delivery to sweeper cover. Five needed

18.1
4
Kane Richardson to Agar, FOUR runs

and then that happens.A short ball that Agar tries to pull. There is no room so he gets a top edge that goes over the keeper and crosses the boundary on the bounce

Ten off the last two. Renegades can't give anything away here

Dwayne Bravo to Agar, SIX runs

slower ball but Agar picks it and heaves it with good timing straight over. A full delivery and it isn't the prettiest of strokes. But pretty isn't what Scorchers need right now. Effectiveness is what they need, and 10 out of 10 on that

17.4
1W
Dwayne Bravo to Agar, 1 run, OUT

very full outside off, flays it wide of long-off, and hang on. There's been a run out. They try a non-existent second run. This was struck with immense power and so there was really no second run on there. They decide to take it nonetheless and it ends up being suicidal. A fiery throw from the deep is collected clean by Bravo who takes the bails off and hurls the ball in the air

1
Dwayne Bravo to Voges, 1 run

full toss, whipped straight to Richardson at deep backward square leg

17.2
W
Dwayne Bravo to Agar, OUT

Bravo showcases his football skills and effects a run out. Scorchers are losing some ground and this match is swinging again. And it's the big fish, Ashton Turner. Bravo just runs forward towards the stumps and kicks the ball to fell the bails and Turner is well short of his ground even as he bends forward and grounds the bat. Agar had tried to flick and got hit on the pad and they tried to steal a leg bye

Ashton Turner run out (Bravo) 70 (32b 3x4 5x6) SR: 218.75
17.1
Dwayne Bravo to Agar, no run

Agar can't believe that's not been called a wide. But he had walked across and Bravo slipped this past him and very close to the leg stump. Close but still outside but Agar had walked across

Hogg to Turner, SIX runs

oh, dear! Hogg's WACA sojourn ends with a brace of sixes. This is another full toss and Turner advances down the ground before slapping it over long-on. Gets a rousing ovation from the crowd and he acknowledges it with a wave of the hands and a genial smile. What a player he's been!

16.6
7nb
Hogg to Turner, (no ball) SIX runs

not yet Hogg's last ball at the WACA. Because this is a no-ball. A full toss that slips out of the hand and has been shovelled over deep midwicket

16.5
Hogg to Turner, no run

floats it across wide outside the off-stump. Flattish trajectory. Stabbed to backward point
