- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.3 pitched up, miscued to midwicket! Clarke has battled through, but he's gone now. Hint of inswing as he lined up a club down the ground, skewed off the inside half of the bat and Agar is across to take a good diving catch 76/53.4 slower ball, squirted to the keeper! Richardson gets sweet rewenge as Rogers departs for a funtime 20 off 14. Possibly a knuckleball, or held deep in the palm. It came out full and pitched outside leg, Rogers stepped away and swung hard across the line, but thick-edged through to Inglis 26/13.5 pinned in front first ball! Up goes the finger and there's no delay from Webster as he turns for the dressing room. Full and fast, arrowing in on middle and leg stumps, and Richardson is on a hat-trick! 26/25.4 skips down, misses... gone! Agar picks up Larkin with his fourth ball, just finding a smidge of turn and it's an easy stumping for Inglis to effect. Scorchers getting on top here 34/39.2 hard length, plinked to point! Stoinis goes for the big hit but slices a tame catch to the man inside the ring. Easy catch for Lyth running up from behind square. Tye strikes second ball, The Rig dismantled for 10 off 10. He mooches off as the Stars wane a little further 62/419.5 picks out long-on! Full and wide, Cartwright doesn't quite nail his slap down the ground and du Plessis takes it on the run. A decent rescue act from the Stars perspective 135/912.3 gloved behind! Tye has a second, and Kellaway is on his way. Banged in short, heading down leg but he only manages a flick off the glove as he looks to help it around the corner. Stars in the gutter, six down in the 13th 81/613.5 clubbed into the sky... taken! Swirling take for Faf du Pliessis as he runs back from mid-on, but he tumbles to take it safely. Short outside off from Richardson and NCN was never in control of his attempted pull 86/713.6 and out first ball, bowled behind his legs! Richardson gets two in two for the second time in the match and Stars are in proper strife. Slings down a leg-stump yorker and torpedoes the poles as Wood gets too far across 86/819.6 swing and a miss... and he's then run out by a mile! Zampa ends up several yards down the pitch with his arms outspread as Inglis underams into the stumps 135/10Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL135 all out (20 Overs, RR: 6.75)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (Thomas Rogers, 3.4 ov), 2-26 (Beau Webster, 3.5 ov), 3-34 (Nick Larkin, 5.4 ov), 4-62 (Marcus Stoinis, 9.2 ov), 5-76 (Joe Clarke, 11.3 ov), 6-81 (Campbell Kellaway, 12.3 ov), 7-86 (Nathan Coulter-Nile, 13.5 ov), 8-86 (Luke Wood, 13.6 ov), 9-135 (Hilton Cartwright, 19.5 ov), 10-135 (Adam Zampa, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.2 gone... Lyth deflects a pull into his own stumps! Unlucky for the batter but Stars will take them any which way. Lyth's best score of the season but he walks off frustrated, he was looking to swing one away but the ball came up off the thigh pad, caught the gloves and dropped behind him to knock off the bails 73/31.5 gottim, jabbed to point! Some extra bounce for Wood, who makes a much-needed breakthrough for Stars. Length ball and he was looking to get forward, but it kicked up to hit the splice and loop square for a simple take 17/17.1 slogged leg side, and taken in the deep! Coulter-Nile breaks the stand via an excellent running catch from long-on by Beau Webster. Length ball on the stumps and Hardie tried to go big but it was more height than trousers, plenty of hang time and it allowed the fielder to get around for a diving catch 46/217.1 short and pulled to deep square leg! Turner departs to silence, but he's done the job for his side. Picks out the man on the rope for a fine innings of 53 off 26 134/4Extras8 (b 1, lb 1, w 6)TOTAL136/4 (17.3 Overs, RR: 7.77)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Faf du Plessis, 1.5 ov), 2-46 (Aaron Hardie, 7.1 ov), 3-73 (Adam Lyth, 11.2 ov), 4-134 (Ashton Turner, 17.1 ov)
