Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers, 1st Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

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]

Brody Couch to Philippe, byes, 1 run, Couch starts with a off-speed ball that dips on the batter. Goes under the blade and misses the off-stump by a whisker. Finn Allen doesn't stop it cleanly and the batters steal a single via byes

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]

Hardie to Philippe, 1 run, shuffles across to play the premeditated scoop and toe-ends it towards square leg. Uppish and luckily for him, it falls short of the forward-running midwicket fielder

Hardie to Philippe, no run, 130.7kph, length ball, Philippe defensively pushes to the left of the bowler and sets off for a non-existent single. Gets sent back. Hardie collects it on his followthrough, rotates and mocks a throw at the keeper's end. He should have actually thrown the ball
