- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.6 Cooper runs across from mid-on and judges this skier to perfection. Good length cutter outside off, Wright has a dirty slog across the line. He does so early. He gets more elevation as opposed to distance. Cooper runs about 40 metres to his right and makes it look as easy as eating a sandwich 18/113.1 Dunk pre-meditates, shuffles away outside the leg stump, Wildermuth holds his own. The bowler pushes it very wide outside off. Dunk throws his hands at the ball and snicks this behind to the keeper. The ball dies on its way to the keeper. The soft signal is out. Ludeman ensured the ball did not pop out and closed his gloves around the ball. He plucked it inches from the ground. No fifty for Dunk too 106/310.6 KP falls for a punchy 40.Tossed up on the leg stump, KP aims to lift it over long-on. He stretches out but only skews a catch to Cooper at the edge of the boundary 89/219.6 very full and on off and middle, Maxwell swings at it and loses his shape. He then watches an inside edge make a mess of the stumps 157/4Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL157/4 (20 Overs, RR: 7.85)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Luke Wright, 2.6 ov), 2-89 (Kevin Pietersen, 10.6 ov), 3-106 (Ben Dunk, 13.1 ov), 4-157 (Glenn Maxwell, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.1 Scooped to mid-off. Hastings dives forward and pouches it even as the ball dies on him. Floated full and outside off, Harris' response is a weak front-foot drive 43/17.6 Zampa bowls Finch with a wrong'un. This full ball starts outside off, breaks back in, defeats Finch's big slog-sweep, and rattles the stumps. No fifty for Finch, but Renegades on track 72/215.5 Nabi skips down the pitch and picks out Ben Dunk at mid-off. He aimed to take it on the half-volley but Hastings hit the splice with a shorter ball. Flapped to the man in the circle. Nevertheless, a sprightly innings from Nabi 144/317.2 Dunk pockets another catch mid-off. Hodge aims a front-foot pull but Hastings hits the pitch hard and gets it to bounce, hitting the top of the bat. Dunk runs in and tracks the ball down 152/4Extras11 (lb 5, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL159/4 (17.5 Overs, RR: 8.91)Fall of wickets: 1-43 (Marcus Harris, 4.1 ov), 2-72 (Aaron Finch, 7.6 ov), 3-144 (Mohammad Nabi, 15.5 ov), 4-152 (Brad Hodge, 17.2 ov)
