That's all from us. The carnival continues with a Melbourne-Sydney rivalry contest starting in just over an hour. And across the ocean in South Africa, the Cape Town Test gets underway soon too in under two hours. Keep rocking, enjoy your cricket, and most importantly, stay safe! Bye bye.

5.26pm And that's top two sealed for Perth Scorchers. They have defended another total successfully, but this one was helped by the top-order batters who set it up. Hobson and Turner made top quality forties, but Laurie Evans' 69 was the glue that held the innings together. Their tenth win and Laurie Evans pips Matt Kelly to the Player of the Match award.

As for the Stars, it goes from bad to worse as we get close to the playoffs. Outplayed tonight.

19.6
1
Hardie to Rainbird, 1 run

back of a length on off. Looks to pull, and decent connection but falls just short of the diving Kelly at deep backward square leg. Nonetheless, Perth Scorchers win by 47 runs and Melbourne Stars avoid getting all out.

19.5
Hardie to Rainbird, no run

excellent slower ball as he goes full and wide, but well hidden. Rainbird can't reach out to smack it away

19.4
1
Hardie to Haris Rauf, 1 run

low full toss on off stump. Smacked to wide long off for one

19.3
1
Hardie to Rainbird, 1 run

full on leg stump. Clears the front leg and hammers it to deep midwicket. Protection there though

Normt: "Greg is correct. The Stars may have reasons this year for failure, but they are still the competitions perennial underachievers."

19.2
1W
Hardie to Rainbird, 1 run, OUT

it's all happening! Fullish outside off. He tries to clear long off, but slices it. Long off and cover congregate to take a catch but the ball lands between both of them. But the second run is not on, and the throw from the fielder is good at Hardie's end

Behrendorff to Rainbird, 1 run

looks to explore leg side behind square but the ball instead goes to point

Behrendorff to Zampa, 1 run

full and wide outside off. Swatted down the ground to long off

18.3

Behrendorff to Rainbird, 1 run

full on off, and nudged off his pads to deep backward square leg

18.2
1lb
Behrendorff to Zampa, 1 leg bye

got him? Not given. Full on off from around the stumps. He walks across to the off side to flick leg side. Misses, hits the knee roll, and Jason asks the question. But not given. Too close!

18.1
Behrendorff to Rainbird, no run

full and wide outside off. Zampa wants to go over cover but can't connect

Greg O'Connell: "Yet another sub-standard performance by the competition's biggest underachievers. Extremely frustrating for those of us who've followed them from Day One." -- To be fair to them, the Stars have been really badly hit by Covid-19. And it doesn't help when you don't start well either. Morale can be low.

17.6
W
Kelly to Qais, OUT

mowed! But this time Kelly takes his fourth off his last ball of the spell. Another wide slower ball outside off. Qais tried to clear deep midwicket but it's too much to do when you're trying to drag it from that wide of off. Agar under it near the boundary

Kelly to Qais, SIX runs

that ruins the figures! But probably deserves the treatment. Waist-high full toss, and Qais baseball-swings it over deep square leg

17.4
Kelly to Qais, no run

full and wide outside off. Only operating with cutters right now. Ball comes in, like an offbreak almost, and he misses the wild swing

17.3
1
Kelly to Rainbird, 1 run

another slower ball, dipping yorker around off stump. Mistimed to deep midwicket

17.2
2
Kelly to Rainbird, 2 runs

slower ball, rolls his fingers over this one. Fullish, wider outside off. He drags a slog high up in the air. Agar runs in from deep midwicket, and dives slightly early. But he fluffs the catch. Dropped and Kelly misses out on the fourth. Agar probably did not need to dive

17.1
2
Kelly to Rainbird, 2 runs

yorker attempted on leg stump. Tries to flick, but leading edge takes it to point

16.6
Behrendorff to Qais, no run

continuing around the stumps. Full on off. Qais backs away to explore the leg side. But he hits the shot right onto his own leg

16.5
Behrendorff to Qais, no run

short ball and Qais can't get bat on ball
