- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.5 an appeal for a catch! Very full, Stoinis jabs it to cover. Is this a bump ball or a catch? Similar to the Dom Bess caught and bowled in Port Elizabeth overnight. Soft signal is not out. This is a catch...he's scooped it off the toe of the bat. That's a big moment early in the game 9/14.3 finds deep midwicket! NCN had been sent in to get on with it, aims to heave a good-length delivery over the leg side but can't get the distance 26/27.3 big appeal and given lbw! That looked pretty good. Turns back quite sharply from around off stump. He's a long way back in the crease. Well replay shows it's clipping the very top of leg stump 34/313.5 reverse scooped to the keeper! A length ball at off stump, a slower ball, Maxwell flips the bat around and aims to send it down to third man but just ends up finding the keeper's gloves 81/418.5 gets it right this time, terrific yorker! Spears under the bat into off stump 131/519.1 a yorker outside off, jabbed back to the bowler, Jordan turns and Gotch is come out of his crease...Jordan gets his gentle underarm on target 133/6Extras15 (lb 8, w 7)TOTAL141/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.05)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Marcus Stoinis, 1.5 ov), 2-26 (Nathan Coulter-Nile, 4.3 ov), 3-34 (Nic Maddinson, 7.3 ov), 4-81 (Glenn Maxwell, 13.5 ov), 5-131 (Nick Larkin, 18.5 ov), 6-133 (Seb Gotch, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.2 played on! Back of a length, straight, Inglis just trying to defend and it goes down into the crease then back into the stumps 16/16.4 straight down deep midwicket! Livingstone came down the pitch, dragged across the line and couldn't get the placement or the elevation 46/214.5 what a catch! How did he cling onto that? Bancroft came down the pitch and absolutely nailed a full toss back at Maddinson, who sticks his hands above his head and it sticks. Maddinson's first T20 wicket in his 108th match 94/49.1 he's been run out! Tapped into the off side, Marsh dives but he's comfortably short as Gotch gathers in front of the stumps then brings the ball back. Massive moment. Bancroft's shot, he called, Marsh was ball-watching to see whether it beat the fielder and was late to move. 62/315.6 picks out long-on! It's another full toss, again floated out the front of the hand knuckle ball with almost no pace on it, which is clubbed down the ground and he can't get the distance 102/517.2 charges and misses! Maddinson's day with the ball. Terrific captaincy from Maxwell. Pretty poor shot selection. Wide outside off, David runs down the pitch and can't get anywhere near it 113/617.5 another run out! It's all falling about for the Scorchers. Driven to cover on the edge of the circle, it went pretty quickly, and once the throw was decent Green had no chance 115/718.5 taken at long-on...and it's that man Maxwell! Jordan tried to go long down the ground, almost got enough of it but couldn't quite clear the rope. Maxwell so cool under such a crucial catch 121/819.4 that's another for Maddinson! Holds his nerve, fires it between the inside edge and the pads as he comes down the pitch. A little juggle from Gotch, but it's all good 129/9Extras6 (lb 2, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL131/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.55)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Josh Inglis, 2.2 ov), 2-46 (Liam Livingstone, 6.4 ov), 3-62 (Mitchell Marsh, 9.1 ov), 4-94 (Cameron Bancroft, 14.5 ov), 5-102 (Kurtis Patterson, 15.6 ov), 6-113 (Tim David, 17.2 ov), 7-115 (Cameron Green, 17.5 ov), 8-121 (Chris Jordan, 18.5 ov), 9-129 (Matthew Kelly, 19.4 ov)
