- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.5 chop on! Angled across Guptill on a good length on fourth stump, tries to cut this but is cramped for room and a bottom edge thuds into the stumps. 68/32.3 fullish length on fifth stump, skies a drive high over extra cover and finds Warner on the ring. Easy catch taken with hands in front of his face after shuffling five yards to his left. 20/15.1 fullish length ball floated up on seventh stump to encourage a drive, but Harper can't keep this down and his slightly uppish drive picks out Green at short extra cover diving forward low to his left. 33/211.6 googly spins in from fourth stump into the legs contacting him on leg stump, Finch misses a flick. Big lbw shout upheld. Very marginal decision. Finch is stunned and takes a few seconds to confirm he was actually given out before then reviewing. Two and half stumps were visible. Impact is on umpire's call shaving leg stump. Decision upheld. Finch can't believe it. The thing that counted against him is that he was hit fairly deep in the crease on the back foot. Brave call giving it out live and it was deemed to be justifiable on replay. 77/416.3 bullseye! Slower ball lands short on leg stump, paddle pulls this tamely straight to square leg in the ring. McAndrew fields and fires at the non-striker's end and the direct hit catches him five yards short. Critchley set off on contact, perhaps not realizing how close McAndrew was to the ball. There was never going to be a run. 100/612.6 fullish length on sixth stump, drives hard at this with his hands way out in front of his body and can't keep it down, thick edge flies to backward point, taken in the breadbasket by the debutant Nikitaras tumbling to his right 85/518.1 short on sixth stump, backs away to cut over cover and it comes off a toe edge gently to Qadir on the ring at short third man, who reaches forward at waist height to take the catch. 112/718.4 length ball on fifth stump, swats this flat-footed to long-on, basic catch taken by Davies 10 yards in the rope at chest height. 114/819.6 full on leg stump, backs away from leg to drive to long-off and they scamper back for a second. The relay to Sams is in time to get the bails off with Richardson a full two yards short. 142/9Extras11 (lb 2, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL142/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.1)Did not bat: Fawad AhmedFall of wickets: 1-20 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 2.3 ov), 2-33 (Sam Harper, 5.1 ov), 3-68 (Martin Guptill, 9.5 ov), 4-77 (Aaron Finch, 11.6 ov), 5-85 (Jonathan Wells, 12.6 ov), 6-100 (Matt Critchley, 16.3 ov), 7-112 (Tom Rogers, 18.1 ov), 8-114 (Corey Rocchiccioli, 18.4 ov), 9-142 (Kane Richardson, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.1 not a bad name for a maiden BBL wicket to Rocchiccioli! Full on the stumps, charges and lofts a drive to Sutherland 15 yards inside the rope for a simple catch taken at head height. No timing or power behind the shot. 57/18.2 and now Rocchiccioli is on a hat-trick! Slows up the flight on a fullish length on fifth stump, Davies uses his feet to flick uppishly toward short midwicket and Critchley takes a phenomenal catch diving low to his right. 57/2Extras4 (lb 3, w 1)TOTAL144/2 (18.3 Overs, RR: 7.78)Fall of wickets: 1-57 (David Warner, 8.1 ov), 2-57 (Oliver Davies, 8.2 ov)
