11.00pm Apologies for the confusion with the scoring towards the end. A lot was happening, and the sequence of balls got a little muddled up. In any case, a big win for the Strikers, which means the Renegades remain on eight points, the same as the Sydney Thunder and the Brisbane Heat. It looks like the Renegades-Heat game could become a virtual quarter-final. Do join us tomorrow for Sixers versus Stars. Until then, goodbye!

Robert Brown: "I took a catch like that 52 years ago, playing school boy cricket, it was a super catch has lived in my memory for years, but that one came close to mine"

10.50pm The Adelaide Strikers move back above the Perth Scorchers to reclaim first place, which means they've earned themselves a home semi-final. A brilliant performance today; they never looked like they wouldn't defend 173, after a brief spurt of early aggression from the Renegades. A vital partnership in the first innings too, between Travis Head and Colin Ingram. But the moment of the day had to be that catch - undoubtedly the catch of the tournament and an early contender for catch of the year: made by Ben Laughlin, taken by Jake Weatherald.

19.6

Neser to Hodge, SIX, another full-toss, angling into leg stump, Hodge opens up and whips it away for another six over deep square leg

19.5

Neser to Hodge, FOUR, full outside off, and Hodge lifts it over extra-cover and picks up another four

19.4

Neser to Hodge, no run, wide yorker, Hodge can't connect with the open-faced stab

19.3

Neser to Hodge, SIX, full-toss on leg stump, and Hodge has smashed this into the third tier beyond deep backward square leg. Was this over waist height too?

19.2

Neser to Hodge, no run, yorker angling down leg. The batsman was looking to make room, and it squeezes between his legs as he misses a flick and rolls down to the keeper

19.1

Neser to Tremain, 1 run, wide yorker, jabbed to the left of extra-cover

END OF OVER:
19 | 9 Runs 1 Wkt | MR: 130/7 (44 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 6.84, RRR: 44.00)

Peter Siddle4-0-24-1

18.6

Laughlin to Hodge, 4 byes, the bails start flashing as he does Hodge in with a slower, outswinging yorker. Plays all around it, but it's a free-hit, and the ball hits off stump and runs away to the third man boundary. Maybe a thin edge on it too - the umpire doesn't signal byes

Free-hit

18.6

1lbnb

Laughlin to Tremain, (no ball) 1 leg bye, high full-toss on off stump, immediately signalled no-ball. Opens up and looks to hoick it away. Hits him on the glove (?) and rolls into the point region

18.5

Laughlin to Hodge, 1 run, in the blockhole, just outside off, squeezed to the left of extra-cover

18.4

Laughlin to Tremain, 1 run, that late outswing again. A full-toss outside off and he slaps it to the right of sweeper cover

18.3

Laughlin to Hodge, 1 run, inswinging yorker, goes late and into the pads. No appeal because it was going down leg. Misses the flick and the ball ricochets off pad into the off side

18.2

Laughlin to Hodge, no run, slower full ball wide of off stump, Hodge slashes and misses

Kev: "I feel we haven't talked about that catch enough yet" -- Go on, give us your opinions!

18.1

Laughlin to Wildermuth, OUT, slower short ball, and Wildermuth has swatted that down the throat of deep square leg coming in off the boundary

JD Wildermuth c Weatherald b Laughlin 3 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 60.00

This match is just winding down to its end. For those still interested in the equation, Reegades need 53 off 12. Here's Laughlin

Peter Siddle4-0-24-1
Ben Laughlin3-0-14-1

17.6

Siddle to Wildermuth, 1 run, very full again, heaved to deep midwicket

17.5

Siddle to Hodge, 1 run, yorker outside off, slapped straight to extra-cover

17.4

Siddle to Hodge, no run, slower ball, full, looks to slog it away and only ends up hitting it back to the bowler in his follow-through. The ball either bounced on the ground, very close to his bat, or straight up off his left foot. They're checking with the third umpire and it's bounced on the ground, so it isn't a c&b. Siddle also missed the stumps at the keeper's end with the batsman quite a way out of his ground

17.3

Siddle to Wildermuth, 1 run, full outside off, looks for a big heave and gets a thick edge that loops up and bounces out of reach of the short third man fielder turning around and running back towards the boundary

17.2

Siddle to Hodge, 1 run, full outside off, flat-batted to long-off

17.1

Siddle to Hodge, no run, in the blockhole on off stump, jabbed back to the bowler

END OF OVER:
17 | 6 Runs 1 Wkt | MR: 117/6 (57 runs required from 18 balls, RR: 6.88, RRR: 19.00)

16.6

Laughlin to Hodge, 1 run, fullish outswinger wide of off, sliced in the air but it bounces short of the man coming in off the cover point boundary

16.5

Laughlin to Wildermuth, 1 run, full outside off, whipped to long-on

16.4

Laughlin to Wildermuth, no run, fullish outswinger outside off. Looks to open his bat face and run it down to third man and it swings past his edge

16.3

Laughlin to Hodge, 1 run, fullish outside off, swiped down to long-on
