8.40pm: Scratchy from the Scorchers, you'd have to say. They lost three wickets inside the (four-over) Powerplay, and were struggling from then on. Aaron Finch shuffled his options well, with the new-ball pair of Josh Lalor and Kane Richardson sharing six wickets, while Renegades debutants Peter Hatzoglou and Benny Howell shone with their respective tricky stylings; Aaron Hardie's 36-ball 33 was as good as it got for Perth. Can the Scorchers lift themselves to make this a difficult chase? Find out with Miller shortly

Richardson to Fawad Ahmed, OUT, no, it's just a straightforward flop, Fawad slicing a top edge out to deep backward point. So the Scorchers are canned with five balls to spare and Melbourne need 131 to start their campaign with a win

Fawad Ahmed c Marsh b Richardson 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

It's been a stuttering effort from the Scorchers... can they flop over the line with a boundary or two? Richardson to close out

Lalor to Hardie, OUT, Hardie holes out! Too much on it, in comparison to Behrendorff the ball before, as Lalor bowls to his field and Webster holds it safely at head height out at long-off

Jason Behrendorff heads out

Richardson to Tye, OUT, pace on and Tye nicks to the keeper! Attempted golf swing to a shortish ball, sliding in towards the right hip, and there's just a tickle - at least as far as the fielding team and umpire are concerned. Tye was unconvinced, but he's done his job of holding an end up

AJ Tye c †Harper b Richardson 15 (13b 0x4 1x6) SR: 115.38
