The covers are out there and the rain looks heavy. If the game was to be called off at this stage, the Sixers would be declared winners.

driven to long off

3.5
Starc to Floros, no run

on a length, nips away and catches the thigh pad. The umpire gives it out caught behind after a big appeal, but then for some reason the third umpire is called on and he reverses it. Mayhem here in Sydney

3.4
Starc to Floros, no run

full outswinger, dabbles at it and a huge appeal for caught behind, umpire not interested, replays suggest he hit it

A golden duck for the captain and all of a sudden it is game on in the Sydney derby
