McAndrew to Bancroft, FOUR, slower bouncer, beautifully executed, but he's managed to mistime a pull with that giant bat of his to the fine leg fence for four. It was a good chase too, but not the best effort at the boundary...

Sangha to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, just a hint of width on this legbreak, Marsh treks back and cuts fiercely through point. Beats backward point to his right and the man in the deep could only watch the ball go past the ropes

McAndrew to J Richardson, FOUR, length ball outside off, Richardson crouches low and swats it in the gap between mid-on and mid-wicket. Came off the lower part of the bat, but the ball has enough legs to beat the two fielders running back

McAndrew to Mitchell Marsh, SIX, round the wicket, bumper on leg, Marsh gets inside the line, swivels and hooks it over fine leg. Superb strike!

Daniel Sams to Turner, out Caught by McAndrew!! Sams has the last laugh. Turner backs away and opens up the off-side. Gets under this full ball and makes good contact as he tries to carve it over the off-side. Couldn't get the required elevation and McAndrew snaffles it up at cover who was standing at the edge of the 30-yard circle. Turner c McAndrew b Daniel Sams 23(14) [4s-2 6s-1]

Cutting to Munro, out Caught by Milne!! A tag team catch! Cutting strikes first ball. A slower ball on a short of length, Munro waits for it on the backfoot and cuts aerially. Usman Khawaja, at backward point, jumps and deflects it off his fingers for Milne (short third man) to gobble it up. This is a big blow for the Scorchers! Munro c Milne b Cutting 25(22) [4s-2 6s-1]

Sangha to Munro, SIX, wow! Just lost two wickets and Munro decides to play this. Leggie on a length outside off, Munro reverse-slog-sweeps it flat and over deep point. The man in the deep, Sams, was interested for a second, but the ball was well out of his reach

McAndrew to Joe Clarke, out Joe Clarke Run Out!! A very full ball, driven firmly to mid-off. Hales moves to his left from mid-off and scores a direct hit at the bowler's end. Was Clarke a bit lethargic in his running? Well, he's short of his ground! A dive might have helped him, but he didn't and pays the price. Hales, miced up, says that he thought that the batter was in. A 2-ball duck for Clarke. Two wickets within a span of four deliveies. Joe Clarke run out (Hales) 0(2)

McAndrew to Josh Inglis, out Caught by Oliver Davies!! Inglis has picked the man in the deep. A leg-stump half-volley and Inglis plays an aerial flick. Makes decent contact, but doesn't get the placement right. Oliver Davies moves to his left from long leg and takes a safe catch in the deep on debut. Too many high-risk shots and Inglis's streaky innings comes to an end. Josh Inglis c Oliver Davies b McAndrew 4(11)

McAndrew to Munro, FOUR, slightly overpitched and Munro pounces. Stays low, waits for the ball and batters it straight down the ground. Josh Inglis hops and allows the ball to go through his legs. No chance for the mid-off fielder to hunt that down

Daniel Sams to Munro, no run, dropped! A full outswinger, Munro leans and drives it uppishly and straight to cover. Callum Ferguson crouches a bit and makes a mess of it. That was a dolly. How costly will it be?
