- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 through him! Philippe cleaned up. That was a bit of a hack across the line. Nice shape, though, from Behrendorff as this swings back 3/18.1 brilliant catch! Smith goes! Was a full ball, he moved across the crease, looking to play to the on side, in the air to the right of Payne in his follow through and he dives to his right. Huge moment 42/32.4 what a catch! That's a stunner from Hardie at mid-on. Short of a length outside off, Patterson goes for the pull and Hardie plucks it out of the air, one-handed above his head. Great hang time 15/216.5 has that got the distance? No it hasn't. Taken at deep midwicket. Short of a length, didn't quite get hold of it as he got underneath it 130/416.6 gone first ball! Payne's second sharp return catch of the innings. Full, angling in, Kerr tried to drive it and found the bowler at ankle height 130/517.6 direct hit, another goes...Sixers losing their way again. Short of a length, Silk clubs it towards mid-on. Christian got sent back 133/618.1 heaved in the air off the top edge, short of a length, Tye is comfortably underneath it and Sixers and collapsing 133/719.5 short ball, pulled to deep midwicket.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 fullish on middle. Eskinazi clears his front leg and tries to smack it leg side. But he reaches out a tad too much while meeting it, loses his shape, and the ball goes high up. Kerr at mid on has a tough one to take but he manages to hold onto a reverse-cup catch before tumbling and landing on his back 5/13.4 Christian, playing his last season, holds on after a jump at midwicket. Abbott kept it shortish, Hardie thinks he can get it over midwicket. But he can't. Christian's leap up is timed right, and Hardie goes for 9 22/23.6 and this time he DOES get the edge. Abbott drops his length slightly. Right on the fourth-stump line with the ball nipping away. Inglis tries to meet it with a poke, but the ball's movement is enough to take the edge instead. What a spell! 22/3Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL154/3 (18.3 Overs, RR: 8.32)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Stephen Eskinazi, 1.2 ov), 2-22 (Aaron Hardie, 3.4 ov), 3-22 (Josh Inglis, 3.6 ov)
