Hardie to Jack Edwards, FOUR, full and way down leg, easy pickings for Edwards who flicks it wide of short fine leg

Hardie to Jack Edwards, 2 runs, 130.4kph, low full toss on the pads, Edwards plays an aerial whip. Two fielders converge Hobson from deep backward square leg and Evans from fine leg. There's some uncertainty even though Hobson calls for it. Only gets fingertips on it as he puts down the chance

Hardie to Jack Edwards, FOUR, slower ball into the pitch, Edwards pulls and the top-edge runs away fine to the fine leg fence

Hardie to Jack Edwards, 2 runs, 134.1kph, very full and outside off, Edwards squeeze-slices it to deep backward point

Joel Paris to Jack Edwards, FOUR, 127kph, round the wicket, full and in the slot, Edwards gets under it and swings his willow to thump it over the non-striker's end. 10 runs off the only Power Surge over

Joel Paris to Dwarshuis, FOUR, over the wicket, fuller than a length outside off, Dwarshuis reaches for it and smashes it over extra cover for a one-bounce four. Dwarshuis is underway with a boundary

Joel Paris to Lachlan Shaw, out Caught by Finn Allen!! Slower ball at 119.2kph from wide of the crease (round the wicket), Shaw shapes to hoick across the line. It's the cutter from Paris with a bit of extra bounce and all the batter manages is a faint outside edge through to the keeper. Lachlan Shaw c Finn Allen b Joel Paris 19(10) [4s-3 6s-1]

Agar to Lachlan Shaw, FOUR, 106.8kph, low full toss outside off and Shaw drives firmly to the right of extra cover

Agar to Jack Edwards, FOUR, Agar goes for the yorker and misses it by an inch or so, Edwards clears his left leg and hammers it downtown - over the umpire's head

Agar to Jack Edwards, SIX, 92.2kph, flat ball on a length, Edwards stands tall on the back foot to bludgeon it straight down the ground. Long-on and long-off converge but they can only watch the ball sail over the boundary rope

Joel Paris to Lachlan Shaw, FOUR, just over mid-off! Dug in short by Paris, Shaw moves leg-side and gets enough wood as he flat-bats it over the leaping mid-off fielder

Joel Paris to Jack Edwards, SIX, shortish ball and Edwards spots it early. Gets into a solid position, clears his front leg and clobbers it over cow corner

Mahli Beardman to Lachlan Shaw, FOUR, Beardman goes fuller and it's right in the slot, Shaw clears his front leg and tonks it over mid-on for a one-bounce four

Mahli Beardman to Lachlan Shaw, SIX, poor ball and punished. Pacy length ball straying onto the pads and the batters uses Beardman's pace and angle to his advantage. Crouches a bit and flicks it nonchalantly over long leg - finding the gap between fine leg and deep backward square leg

Mahli Beardman to Jack Edwards, FOUR, edge and four! Edwards clears his front leg to heave across the line, gets a fat edge due to the extra bounce and the ball runs away fine to the third man fence

Brody Couch to Jack Edwards, FOUR, top shot to get off the mark! Short of a good length, Edwards opens the bat-face and slices the drive behind square on the off-side. Reaches the fence in a jiffy

Brody Couch to Philippe, out Caught by Finn Allen!! Finn Allen makes no mistake on this occasion. Shortened length, extra bounce and Philippe is in no control of his pull shot. The ball lobs up in the air off the top-edge and Finn Allen - the man with the gloves - calls for it before running towards the square leg region and pouching it. Replay shows that it was a slower ball into the surface and the batter didn't pick it. Philippe c Finn Allen b Brody Couch 28(18) [4s-3 6s-1]

Agar to Philippe, out Henriques Run Out!! Run-out at the non-striker's end! Philippe shimmies down and drills this in-drifter down the pitch. Agar looks to stop it on his followthrough and the ball brushes his fingers before going onto hit the stumps. Henriques was backing up a long way down and he knew that he was a goner. Didn't wait for the TV umpire's decision. Lucky wicket for the Scorchers. Henriques run out (Agar) 9(6) [6s-1]

Agar to Philippe, SIX, Philippe greets Agar with a maximum. Flat ball on a length outside off, Philippe shimmies down and moves leg-side to access the off-side. He isn't quite close to the pitch of the ball but he makes superb contact to loft it over deep extra cover

Mahli Beardman to Henriques, SIX, 133kph, short ball and Henriques goes after it. Rises just above the waist and Henriques swivels to smash it over backward square leg with a pull shot. Doesn't bother to keep it down and clears the man in the deep

Mahli Beardman to Philippe, FOUR, shot! Beardman pitches up, Philippe slightly backs away and batters the drive to the right of the diving mid-off fielder. The ball bullets away to the fence

Brody Couch to Babar Azam, out Caught by Laurie Evans!! Gone! Short of a good length, Babar Azam shapes to flat-bat the pull. He gets into an awkward position to play the shot and miscues it. Off the toe end of the bat and the ball lobs towards mid-on. Evans moves to his left to complete the catch. Babar never looked comfortable against the bounce. Babar Azam c Laurie Evans b Brody Couch 2(5)

Joel Paris to Philippe, FOUR, Paris pulls his length back, Philippe spots the length early and swivels to pull it over backward square leg. One bounce and into the fence

Joel Paris to Philippe, FOUR, there's the first boundary! Length ball wide of off, bit of extra bounce, Philippe shuffles across to get inside the line and scoops it over vacant leg slip. Hits him high on the bat but there's no one to stop it

Hardie to Daniel Hughes, out Caught by Connolly!! Hardie strikes early! Seam-up, short of length delivery on the stumps, Hughes swivels to pull, the ball comes quicker than the batsman expects it to. The timing goes awry as it hits him high on the bat and Connolly reverse-cups at midwicket. Daniel Hughes c Connolly b Hardie 0(3)
