- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.5 Carey looks to clear long-off, no dice, he holes out to Paris. Full and outside off, the bottom hand flies off the bat as he slices a catch. No fifty for Carey 80/46.2 Bosisto pins Weatherland in front with a straight ball. Pushed through full on middle from around the wicket, Weatherland aims for a big sweep but does not make contact. The ball strikes the front pad in line with middle and off. That's pretty adjacent, and he has to go 49/17.6 tossed up on middle stump, the spinners are putting the skids on the Strikers. Ingram goes low and slog-sweeps a catch to deep square leg 56/211.1 wide of the crease, short and holds its line outside off, slashed away to backward point. There's a mix-up between the wickets as Well chances a single. But he has been sent back. The throw from Klinger is wide of the stumps. Bancroft gathers it in front of the stumps, fumbles, and then flies to his right to recover and dislodge the bails. Wells has been caught short by terrific work from Bancroft 79/312.3 Johnson, the old boy, pulls off a stunning one-handed catch at short third man. This was a dipping full-toss on middle stump, the batsman seeks to reverse-paddle it away fine of the fielder. Instead, he lobs it off the back of the bat. It seems to be dying on Johnson but he dives to his right to pluck it inches from the ground with his right hand. Catch of the BBL season along with Archer's return grab? Johnson landed on his elbow but still summoned enough balance to hold onto the catch 81/516.6 Dean backs away outside leg and attempts to make swinging room but Agar chases him and cramps him up. He holes out to Cartwright at wide long-on 105/715.1 slower, short ball on the middle stump. Neser spots it and middles it straight into the lap of deep midwicket. He backed away outside leg and clubbed it to Cartwright 92/617.1 ...and he sneaks through the gate of Rashid with a 102ks offcutter. Bresnan hits the top of middle and off. Floated up and cuts in, Rashid is waaaay too early into the slog and watches the furniture get disturbed 105/819.2 slower short ball on off stump, 104ks, Siddle can't manufacture enough pace of his own. He only top-edges a catch to deep square leg 112/1018.2 perfect inswinging yorker from around the stumps, breaks through the defences of Laughlin and clatters into the base of leg stump. It might have dismissed a top-order batsman. Laughlin could not even touch it 108/9Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL112 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 5.79)Fall of wickets: 1-49 (Jake Weatherald, 6.2 ov), 2-56 (Colin Ingram, 7.6 ov), 3-79 (Jonathan Wells, 11.1 ov), 4-80 (Alex Carey, 11.5 ov), 5-81 (Jake Lehmann, 12.3 ov), 6-92 (Michael Neser, 15.1 ov), 7-105 (Jono Dean, 16.6 ov), 8-105 (Rashid Khan, 17.1 ov), 9-108 (Ben Laughlin, 18.2 ov), 10-112 (Peter Siddle, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.3 Bosisto can't clear mid-on. He holes out to Siddle. Full and outside off, in the slot, but Bosisto loses his shape and chips it to mid-on off the inside half 11/14.5 Laughlin runs forward, attacks the ball, throws himself to his right to complete a ripping catch. Full and outside off, Klinger does not middle a drive. Instead, he scoops it in the air towards mid-off where Laughlin swoops down on it with both hands to give the Strikers hope 26/27.5 Siddle pushes it full on the off stump, Bancroft swipes across the line, skews it off the inside half to midwicket 42/38.1 Rashid Khan rips out Turner with a googly that does not bounce at all. It shoots low, Turner does not pick it. He aims to play across the line, the ball kisses the pad and makes a mess of the stumps 43/4Extras5 (lb 1, nb 2, w 2)TOTAL114/4 (18.2 Overs, RR: 6.21)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (William Bosisto, 2.3 ov), 2-26 (Michael Klinger, 4.5 ov), 3-42 (Cameron Bancroft, 7.5 ov), 4-43 (Ashton Turner, 8.1 ov)
