- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.5 taken at deep midwicket! Super catch by Hobson. Short of a length, Konstas swings it over the leg side, looked like he had got it pretty well, but Hobson sprints to his right and makes a lot of ground. Huge moment 101/63.1 taken at cover! Short of a length, takes a top edge and loops into the off side. Clocked at 148kph. Warner was shaping to play to the leg side 36/13.6 gloved, gone! But Gilkes has reviewed. Another bouncer, over leg stump, goes for the pull and Scorchers very confident. Is it arm? Brushes the glove first, so that's out 45/28.2 through him! Billings' struggle is over. Moving outside leg, this is fired through at the stumps, playing with a horizontal bat, misses and takes leg stump 60/39.1 can't clear long on! Spoors strikes second ball. Full at middle, Garton going for the slog sweep down the ground but can't get the distance. Simple catch 64/412.4 and the pressure tells! Full at middle, he swipes across the line with a slog sweep, plays over it. This is going wrong for Thunder 75/516.6 top edge this time, taken at short fine leg! Behrendorff kept it short, this one was higher, McAndrew pulls again, can't control the shot, and it goes straight up 114/7Extras8 (b 3, lb 2, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL158/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.9)Fall of wickets: 1-36 (David Warner, 3.1 ov), 2-45 (Matthew Gilkes, 3.6 ov), 3-60 (Sam Billings, 8.2 ov), 4-64 (George Garton, 9.1 ov), 5-75 (Hugh Weibgen, 12.4 ov), 6-101 (Sam Konstas, 15.5 ov), 7-114 (Nathan McAndrew, 16.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 direct hit, gone! A mess for Scorchers. Hardie played this towards mid-on and just set off. Green is very close, no chance of a run, Fanning had no chance to get back 10/21.1 taken at cover! Huge wicket. Short outside off, Allen driving off the back foot, doesn't middle it and gives a chest-high catch on the ring 10/14.3 cleaned up! Flatter at the stumps, straightens enough to beat the edge as Hardie plays back. Very nicely bowled. Not sure Hardie should have gone back to that 40/35.1 direct hit! Goodness me. This was clipped through midwicket, and Connolly is well short coming back for the second! Superb piece of fielding from Weibgen. Not sure what happened with the calling there 44/45.6 goodness me! Pulled straight to deep midwicket. It's all going wrong for Scorchers. Dragged down short, Turner rocks back and pulls but couldn't have picked out the fielder any better 48/59.5 through him! Andrews' night just gets better. Round the wicket, slides on at the stumps, Hobson plays all around it 63/615.1 done all ends up! Spoors charges down the pitch, it's a shorter delivery, basically walks past it 89/813.3 terrific catch by Warner! Short and wide outside off, Agar tries to drive it over the the ring, Warner tracks it back from mid-off and pulls out the dive to take it above his head. 76/715.3 and another! Aims a big slog sweep, misses and he's castled. Scorchers falling in a heap here, and for their season 89/917.2 is that a tickle? Yes, given caught down the leg side. Angled into the pads, Beardman glances it to the keeper 97/10Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL97 all out (17.2 Overs, RR: 5.59)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Finn Allen, 1.1 ov), 2-10 (Sam Fanning, 1.3 ov), 3-40 (Aaron Hardie, 4.3 ov), 4-44 (Cooper Connolly, 5.1 ov), 5-48 (Ashton Turner, 5.6 ov), 6-63 (Nick Hobson, 9.5 ov), 7-76 (Ashton Agar, 13.3 ov), 8-89 (Matthew Spoors, 15.1 ov), 9-89 (Lance Morris, 15.3 ov), 10-97 (Mahli Beardman, 17.2 ov)
