Munro's 82 is followed by 3 scalps from Fawad and 2 wickets for the tournament's leading wicket-taker Jhye Richardson. Scorchers continue to gain steam heading toward the playoff stage while the Heat are going in the opposite direction. That's all from us today. Come back tomorrow for more BBL action. Take care!

Colin Munro is the Player of the Match: "It's great to bounce back. It's nice coming in after the two [Englishmen]. I think this is one of the best bowling attacks I've ever played with. It's very good preparation to face them in the nets before facing other teams. We've got a bit of a break before a back-to-back."

10.30 pm Remarkable collapse by the Heat. From claiming the Bash Boost Point at the 10-over mark, they lose their last 7 wickets for 19 runs in less than five overs. Disciplined bowling, nothing earth-shattering, but just tidy and the Heat fell in a heap.

W
Fawad to Morkel, OUT

flights this full on off, stretches forward to slog this for long-on but doesn't come close to clearing the man on the rope. Simple catch taken 15 yards in.

Doosra: "What a cataclysmic collapse by the Heat....who turned their cooker off?? It's the end of their hopes of making the playoffs!! Mind you at one point earlier India were given a 1 per cent chance of overhauling the Aussies"

Tye to Morkel, no run

back of a length on off, defended into the off side.

Damian: "If scores are level at the 10 over mark it's 0.5 points each I believe- not the batting side gets the point". I stand corrected! This is indeed the case.

Tye to Morkel, no run

full on the legs, sliced out to backward point.

Jhye Richardson to Steketee, OUT

slapped to cover on the ring. Power Surge is instead leading to a Power Outage. Richardson bangs this in short on fourth stump, Steketee tries to carve it over the ring but doesn't get the elevation, simple catch taken at chest height.

Jhye Richardson to Steketee, no run

yorker on middle, dug out to backward point.

W
Jhye Richardson to Peirson, OUT

Richardson wins the cat and mouse game. Yorker on middle, Peirson goes too far across his stumps trying to flick this to the leg side and struck dead in front of middle, straightforward decision for the umpire to uphold Richardson's appeal.

nearly a hat-trick ball for Livingstone! Fullish length ball on off and Bazley chips this gently toward long-off, Behrendorff charges in and lunges forward but it just barely short hops him before richocheting away to allow the second.
