- BATSMENRB4s6sSR12.6 Relief for Sandhu, for certain! Yorker on off stump. Harris comes down the ground, but it's a real quick delivery. Goes under Harris' bat, and crashes into off stump 112/38.2 it's the one that goes straight through, and there's the breakthrough! Good length outside off, but it's the wrong'un on this occasion. Short came dancing down the wicket, trying to flick it towards leg side, but he played for the leg spin. The ball zips between his bat and pad, and that's easily stumped by the keeper 77/110.2 slips in the middle, and he's run out! Disaster! Good length on off stump, cut to point and Cooper was off in a flash. Harris refuses the run (there wasn't any on offer anyway), and Cooper tries to turn around. But he slips, and the throw from point is on top of the stumps 100/215.5 short on middle stump, pulled but the bat turns in his hand. Slices his shot, and it's in the air. Taken by the bowler running forward. Simple catch 134/418.5 slower ball on middle stump, and this time Pollard gets under it. Dragged towards the leg side, but doesn't have the distance. Green and Rohrer come together near cow corner, but Green calls for the catch. Well taken, diving forward 164/518.6 back of a length outside off, and it's cut off the back foot. But straight to point! Soft dismissal. Another wicket earned thanks to the slower ball 164/6Extras10 (lb 4, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL189/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.45)Fall of wickets: 1-77 (Matthew Short, 8.2 ov), 2-100 (Tom Cooper, 10.2 ov), 3-112 (Marcus Harris, 12.6 ov), 4-134 (Dwayne Bravo, 15.5 ov), 5-164 (Kieron Pollard, 18.5 ov), 6-164 (Jack Wildermuth, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.2 good length on leg stump, tries to pull but takes a thick top edge! In the air for a really long time, but Holland does well to gauge the height. Taken from near fine leg 1/13.2 good length on middle stump, pulled but not off the middle of the bat. Doesn't have the distance, and taken by Webster at deep midwicket. Calmly taken. Thunder in big trouble 13/26.4 What. A. Catch. Full on middle stump, and Watson lifts this towards the leg side. No distance on this occasion, as Pollard races in from deep midwicket and slides forward near midwicket to complete a very difficult take. Watto's gotta go 46/37.5 full on middle stump, chipped off the front foot towards wide long on, and it's taken in the deep! Checked his shot, and paid the price for it 51/414.1 back of a length outside off, tries to pull but comes off the bat's toe end. Sliced shot, and taken by long on 135/514.6 slower ball full on off stump, tries to lift this over the leg side, but holes out to deep midwicket. It's the change of pace that does the trick, and Rohrer just can't generate enough power 143/619.1 full outside off, tries to slog this over the bowler's head, but this time Green slices it. In the air, and it's taken by the man at point. Slight drift away from the fielder as the ball comes down to Earth, but he composes himself and completes the catch 176/916.1 full outside off, and it's smacked over the bowler's head. Hit well, but looks like it doesn't have the distance. Holes out to long on, who takes an easy catch from near his face. Richardson on a hattrick! 148/716.5 full on off stump, tries an extravagant slog towards the leg side, but the leading edge takes it to wide long off instead. Simple catch in the deep. This time it's Webster, and Richardson takes his fourth 149/819.6 slower ball full on middle stump, McClenaghan misses the slog and that's lbw. Impact in front of middle stump and Renegades win by nine runs! Renegades move to third for now, but not confirmed of qualification yet. They still have a game to go.
