Scorchers are now back on top of the points table and look good to go despite all the changes. Bancroft is the player of the match. Great day for him, hope it was for you too and that you enjoyed our coverage on this double-header day. See you tomorrow for the Sydney Derby fixture tomorrow. Goodbye for now from me and our scorers: M Venkat Raghav and Binoy George.

9:09pm: Absolute canter despite all the changes for Scorchers. Effortless batting, they read and reacted to the pitch with hard-to-believe levels of ease. Bancroft took on all comers, so did Hardie. Both of them were excellent with how they used the crease against the spinners, and them being decisive with their footwork helped. The tone was set with a 15-run first over but Eskinazi fell right after in a soft dismissal. Hardie joined Bancroft and there was no looking back. Neser's final over, the last he bowled, was the only time it felt like the bowlers were in the contest. Otherwise it was pure exhibition.

Mark: "Whats your favourite launch angle? I'm a 46.2 kinda guy. " If the bat speed his high, 46.2 would be perfect, or .3, let's end with an odd number. Flat hits seem better to me for some reason.
