- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.6 topsy turvy season continues for Salt. Bird goes length on off, and the ball holds it's line. Salt looks to defend, but the shape takes the nick... and through to the keeper 15/19.6 pinpoint yorker to send Weatherald back. Full and fast, and beats the batsman for pace. Bat came down very late 79/34.6 trapped! Nearly yorker length on leg, and since Short misses the flick, the umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger 40/216.3 full, on leg stump. Makes room to try and access the offside. Dug away, but in the air, and mid off dives to his right to take a smart diving catch. Big wicket! Strikers fans awfully quiet in the stands 119/714.1 full, on leg stump. The attempted sweep goes straight to deep midwicket 110/414.5 full, on off. Steps down to sweep, but misses. Hits him plumb in front, and that's a quick raise of the finger 113/515.2 full and wide outside off. Clears his front leg and looks to club it over mid off. Slices it, and the ball flies high in the air. Philippe calls for the catch, and runs across to cover for a diving catch. Poor judgment from Rashid 114/619.2 in the air and long on runs in to take the catch. Slow and wide, forcing Valente to reach at it. Plus he's through the shot too early, so the ball pops right in the air. Great deception from Curran - couldn't realise it was the slower ball from the action 135/917.1 back of a length, on leg stump. Wants to pull, but gloved to the keeper instead. Tailenders never enjoy chin music 120/819.4 yorker length, on middle, and that's too good for Conway. Ball zips under his bat and knocks middle stump back.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.6 straight to the fielder! Good length, on off, and he pulls this well. But it's not high enough, and Wells plucks it at deep midwicket with ease 19/22.3 good length, on middle. Goes for the wild swing across his body, and top-edges it instead. Stanlake settles under it at square leg and takes a swirling catch 17/16.6 taken at first slip! Good length, outside off and turning away. Backs away to cut, but edged past the keeper's glove to the fielder. Came sharply. Rashid strikes against a left-hander, something we don't see so often these days 51/310.5 that's what Strikers needed! Length ball outside off, and a bit of turn away from Vince. He looks to defend, but it takes a big nick into the keeper's gloves 79/412.1 he's got a hat-trick! Full on off, and the googly turns through Silk's defense, and clips middle stump. The Strikers are now roaring! The BBL's fifth hattrick 83/610.6 two in two! First-ball duck. Good length on off, but the googly spins inwards. Edwards is caught on the wrong line, and the ball hits him in front of leg stump. Rashid's massive appeal may have convinced the umpire, because that was sliding down leg for certain 79/517.6 Conway gets Curran! Another twist! Yorker on middle, and Curran's lucky his toes are still intact. What a way to finish the spell 124/814.2 around the wicket, good length on off, and the attempted pull takes the edge through to the wicketkeeper.
