    0.2 full and straight, Lyth shuffles too far across his stumps trying to heave this through midwicket and misses. He's nailed straight in front of middle and the lbw appeal is upheld. Lyth has a chat with Faf asking if this has maybe pitched outside leg to make it worth a review but winds up walking off without referring it in the end. 6/1
    3.3 slower ball dragged on! Naveen is all about the change of pace wickets and unsurprisingly one such delivery produces his maiden wicket for the Sixers. It was his first off pace delivery of the day, bowled on a good length on seventh stump. Faf had been timing all his shots on the same pace clearing the front leg and heaving away. This time he is struggling to keep his hands back to a ball well outside off on seventh stump and a bottom edge flutters into off stump. 26/2

    5.3 bullseye! Bird is indeed the word today. Fullish length on middle stump, Hobson clears the front leg for a big heave and sends a breeze to midwicket but the ball skids past and smashes middle stump 2/3 of the way up. 37/3
    6.5 bullseye! Googly nails the stumps! Inglis gropes at this ball on a good length on fourth stump and it spins through the gate and crashes into the middle of middle. A true 50-pointer. 49/5
    5.5 caw caw caw! Three for Bird! Turner shuffles across his stumps and tries to scoop a length ball over fine leg but a touch of extra bounce climbs on him and clips a thick top edge swirling all the way to deep third man. The fielder judged it well off the bat and was in position in plenty of time to take a simple catch at chest height three yards in from the rope. 39/4
    14.4 good length ball on sixth stump, awkward shovel checking his shot and it pops up gently to Silk at extra cover on the ring, who shuffles to his left for a chest high catch. 120/6

    16.6 slower ball back of a length on off stump, goes to pull this over the leg side but gets more of a top edge that swirls softly to deep midwicket, who takes a simple catch 15 yards in from the rope. 131/8
    15.5 length ball on fifth stump, goes to heave this over the leg side but gets a top edge that swirls toward deep third man. The keeper charges to his right and calls off third man on the edge of the ring taking the catch while narrowly avoiding a collision. 127/7

    1.4 length ball on off stump, tries to pull this on the front foot over mid-on but it climbs on him and produces a top edge that flutters to mid-on, who shuffles to his left just outside the ring for a simple catch. 5/1
    2.2 length ball on middle, Philippe charges but miscues this swat and skies it straight up toward mid-off. Simple catch taken three yards in from the ring. 9/2
    6.4 good length ball on fourth stump, in the channel to draw an edge as Vince pokes at this with no footwork. Simple edge through to the keeper at waist height. 28/4

    17.3 stupendous from Agar! Length ball on middle, heaves this toward Agar at deep midwicket, he charges 20 yards to his left and comes in off the rope 10 yards as well on a diagonal route to the ball before sliding forward and reaching his hands in front of his body to pluck this inches from the turf at ankle height. 110/7
    7.3 full on middle, slog sweeps this but picks out deep midwicket ten yards in from the rope. Sharp catch taken by Lyth on his haunches at shin height reaching forward. 31/5
    16.1 length ball on the body, goes to pull and a top edge goes toward Hobson at deep midwicket 15 yards in from the rope, sliding catch taken on the knees with his hands in front of his face. 106/6
    18.4 bullseye! Shuffles across his stumps premeditating a scoop over fine leg. Winds up swinging over the top of a shin high full toss. Can't really call this a yorker. It hits off stump 1/4 of the way up without pitching. 114/8
    18.6 bullseye! Full and straight on middle stump, Bird backs away for a big heave and misses. Middle stump is pegged back halfway up. Another 50 pointer. 115/9
    19.6 slower length ball on middle and leg, Naveen miscues a drive trying to clear mid-on and instead picks out the man on the ring. Simple catch to end the match. Sixers all out for 117. Scorchers begin their title defense with a 38-run win. 117/10
