- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.2 clean bowled. Another whip across the line to an off stump ball, bat facing square leg. This is a fuller ball, angled in at off stump, and smashes it hard 28/31.2 bowled him! Backs away this time, exposes the stumps and goes for the sweep again. But he's missed this arm ball. It pitches leg and skids under his shot as it heads middle stump 6/13.5 taken at extra cover. Three different shots to similar deliveries. This time he looks to get the front leg out of the way and slash it over mid-on as it climbs at an off stump line. Cramped for room and he slices it for Finch at extra cover, who skips backwards and holds on 24/211.5 late on the shot and loses his leg stump. It's a length ball coming in at him. He shapes up to play an expansive shot and decides against it. Tries to bring down the full face but it's too late. Wildermuth skids through his defences and picks up his third 67/419.2 bowled him! Dwayne Bravo is on a hat-trick. Full and in at off stump. Ross is probably expecting the slower ball because he's late on this slog. Misses it completely and the Bravo lights up the stumps 127/816.3 gets him with a juicy full toss! Floated up nicely, thigh height, at middle stump. Cutting looks to slam it out of the stadium but with hard hands and a lot of elevation, he can only get it out as far as the deep midwicket fielder. What a big blow this is to the Heats' chances of a big finish 108/516.5 gets him first ball with a wrong'un. Superb bowling from Hogg. Back of a length, turning away from the right hander outside off. He's playing for the turn. Looks to flick this through midwicket but it climbs on him, comes off the leading edge and is taken at slip 109/619.1 does him with the slower one. It dips on him, full outside off stump. He's through the slog early and it lobs up nicely for the fielder at point 127/7Extras3 (lb 2, w 1)TOTAL132/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.6)Did not bat: MJ SwepsonFall of wickets: 1-6 (Brendon McCullum, 1.2 ov), 2-24 (Sam Heazlett, 3.5 ov), 3-28 (Jimmy Peirson, 5.2 ov), 4-67 (Marnus Labuschagne, 11.5 ov), 5-108 (Ben Cutting, 16.3 ov), 6-109 (Shadab Khan, 16.5 ov), 7-127 (Josh Lalor, 19.1 ov), 8-127 (Alex Ross, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.5 topspinner, back of a length and climbing sharply in the corridor. He backs away to play the cut again, but it's skidding off the pitch and he can't get the bat above this. Thin edge, big appeal and the umpire raises the finger 18/14.3 rattles middle stump! Not the greatest of deliveries, but Harris has appeared tentative against Shadab all through. It's a short ball at middle stump, prime for the pull. But he backs way, is caught in two minds and plays an aimless shovel with an angled bat. Shadab gets it to skid through and send him back 29/216.6 length ball at off stump, opens his body up to try and launch this over midwicket on the rise, but he ends up slicing it high - almost kissing the roof - and straight out to long-off who has a comfortable catch. A well-paced innings from White comes to a close, with the victory in sight 118/3Extras8 (lb 4, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL137/3 (18.4 Overs, RR: 7.33)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Aaron Finch, 2.5 ov), 2-29 (Marcus Harris, 4.3 ov), 3-118 (Cameron White, 16.6 ov)
