- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 and Maddinson goes, it was a back of a length delivery on middle and off and he backs away with an intention to clear the infield but gets it on the toe end of the bat and skies towards cover where Lynn settles underneath it and holds it 14/112.1 and dangerous Lumb goes! It was on a length which straightens after pitching on middle, Lumb tries to play across the line and gets a leading edge to backward point where hopes took it without any trouble. 95/36.4 that's a superlative catch by Cutting. It was back of a length on middle and off, Henriques stays on his crease and tries to hoick to on side, he was a bit early onto it and it skies towards deep midwicket, Cutting runs backward from midwicket and takes a sensational catch, he judges it perfectly. 51/213.5 and Vettori strikes now, that was tad short and kept low, North gets down on one knee and tries to sweep, top edge towards midwicket and Hopes holds the catch 104/415 and Bopara goes this time, back of a length delivery on off and hint of away movement, Bopara comes and tries to steer it to third man but ended up in an genuine edge to the keeper 115/517 as we speak of those one should be on the stumps, Gannon exactly does the same. Yorker length delivery on middle and leg, Silk backs away to make some room but misses it completely and it disturbs the stumps. 127/618.2 length delivery outside off and Smith stays on his back foot and slices it over point but holes out at deep. Lynn accepts it near the ropes 132/718.5 and another catch for Lynn at the deep, this time it was Lee who got a length delivery at the toe end of the bat and went flat towards deep point and Lynn obliges it! 133/8Extras8 (lb 2, w 6)TOTAL140/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7)Did not bat: JR HazlewoodFall of wickets: 1-14 (Nic Maddinson, 1.5 ov), 2-51 (Moises Henriques, 6.4 ov), 3-95 (Michael Lumb, 12.1 ov), 4-104 (Marcus North, 13.5 ov), 5-115 (Ravi Bopara, 14.6 ov), 6-127 (Jordan Silk, 16.6 ov), 7-132 (Daniel Smith, 18.2 ov), 8-133 (Brett Lee, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 Kieswetter slogs a length delivery to square leg, gets a easy single but they decided for the second as Lumb fumbles but quick enough to recover and throws it to the non-striker end where both the batsman found themselves on the same side. Bowler throws to the keeper and Pomersbach walks back. 30/114.4 that's a terrific catch by Silk at mid-on. It was a fuller length delivery on off and swings it to the left of mid-on, got at the toe end of the bat and Slik dives to his left and takes a sensational catch on the jump. 97/55.5 it was on a length and Burns comes out and clips of the pads which went flat into the hands of deep square leg, two quick wickets for Sixers! 31/26.4 and the skipper walks back with a poor shot. It was a good length delivery well outside off which holds the line and Christian reaches to it with an intention to drive it through cover, but edged it to the keeper 33/314.1 and Lee strikes with the first ball, it was full down leg and Lynn backs-away a bit but it was quicker enough to beat his bat and struck his back pad which ricochet back into the stumps, that's big break through! 96/419 back of a length delivery outside off and shuffle across and misses it goes for a bye, but keeper was quicker enough to hold it and throw it to the striker's end and Hopes it found short! 121/520 and he is gone with the last delivery, he lofts a length delivery straight into the hands of long-off, he looked disappointed, quite a close game! 136/7Extras12 (b 1, lb 5, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL136/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.8)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Luke Pomersbach, 4.4 ov), 2-31 (Joe Burns, 5.5 ov), 3-33 (Dan Christian, 6.4 ov), 4-96 (Chris Lynn, 14.1 ov), 5-97 (Craig Kieswetter, 14.4 ov), 6-121 (James Hopes, 18.6 ov), 7-136 (Ben Cutting, 19.6 ov)
