9.18pm That's a pretty convincing win for the Renegades after their bowlers put in all the hardwork to restrict the Heat to 144, that turned out to be well below par. McCullum had not middled his sweeps very well, the other batsmen were holing out one after another and it looked like the chase wouldn't be that easy. But Tom Cooper, who returned to form, and Sam Harper put on a comfortable and quick century stand to make short work of the chase. They took on the short balls, they targeted the off side too, and found the gaps often enough to finish it with 26 balls in hand.

The Reneages are now second on the table, with four wins from seven and he Heat are still languishing at second-last place, just above the Scorchers. That's all from our ball-by-ball coverage tonight, hope you enjoyed every bit of it. It's goodbye from Ankur Dhawan and Vishal Dikshit

2
Doggett to Harper, 2 runs

he goes for a big swing, doesn't middle it at all, it's gone very high but mid-off can't get to it because he has to run back a long way. Two runs and that's it for the Renegades

15.4
1w
Doggett to Harper, 1 wide

tries the full delivery now, but it's well outside off for a wide

15.3
6
Doggett to Harper, SIX runs

hooked away for a clean six, what a way to bring up the fifty. Another bouncer from Doggett and it was chasing Harper as he backed away but he didn't back away from unleashing that fearless hook that flew quickly over fine leg into the crowd

15.2
Doggett to Harper, no run

really good yorker on middle stump, Harper made some room but then adjusted to dig it out back to the bowler

15.2
1w
Doggett to Harper, 1 wide

it's a bouncer, Harper hooks and misses, and the umpire calls it a wide after a second. Close call that one though

15.1
1
Doggett to Cooper, 1 run

full delivery just outside off, he swings but gets a thick outside edge that goes fine on off for two as third man slides to keep it in

Just 11 to go, here's Doggett again

14.4
4
Cutting to Harper, FOUR runs

even fuller, on the pads but Harper makes a fair bit of room and goes over the covers with hard hands to clear the fielders. Four more

14.3
4
Cutting to Harper, FOUR runs

on length but well outside off, it gives Harper enough room to swing his arms and sends it flying over point and short third man for four

14.2
Cutting to Harper, no run

he wants to ramp this one fine on leg, goes a long way across but Cutting sends in a short ball and he misses it completely

14.1
1
Cutting to Cooper, 1 run

slower one at 106kmh, it cuts in from well outside off, Cooper gets a bottom edge and the keeper dives to his to collect the ball after a bounce

13.6
Swepson to Harper, no run

comes down the track, Swepson smartly pitches it outside leg and Harper can't get it away. The ball rolls towards the keeper off Harper's body and he's out of the crease but just makes it back in time as the bails are taken off

Swepson to Harper, 2 runs

goes back this time and cuts it late wide of short third man for two

13.4
4
Swepson to Harper, FOUR runs

dances down the track, takes it on the full and drives that beautifully over the covers with an inside-out shot. Lovely to watch

13.3
Swepson to Harper, no run

it's the wrong'un and leads to an lbw appeal but it's turned down because it was turning too much after pitching on middle

13.2
1
Swepson to Cooper, 1 run

nearly chops it on off the straighter delivery outside off. He stayed in the crease to cut but got a bottom edge as the ball didn't turn
