Colin: "Actually disappointed to see Labuschagne and Neser playing. Why not give the developing players a chance ? The game has no impact for Brisbane. "
1.37pm Sixers will be satisfied with 178 on the board, although a more impactful knock from Christian at the death would have given them so much better. Moreover, the Surge was hardly helpful, with Heat executing their plans pretty well, and drying up the runs. There were more or less contributions from everyone in that batting order - not least Hughes hitting 59 - and it is now up to the bowlers to deliver.

Neser to Christian, OUT, sliced to extra cover! The man was positioned right on the edge of the circle, and completed the grab. It was a full delivery outside off, as he opened the bat face to try and loft that over cover, but got that right into the fielder's hands there The innings ends with a wicket, with two wickets in the final over

Neser to Christian, 2 runs, very quick running there. He made room, and the bowler went pretty full and outside leg to follow him. He dragged toward midwicket, and set off for two

Neser to Avendano, OUT, finds deep square leg! That was the longer side of the ground, and so would have been always difficult to clear. Although the ball was full and on the stumps - in fact right in the slot - Avendano was beaten by the lack of pace, with the bat turning in his hands too. And that longer fence meant it went sailing to the fielder

Steketee to Christian, FOUR, that is some skill there! Four over the keeper's head. That was almost a no-look scoop. He first went across off to try and scoop to the leg side, but when the bowler followed him to go full and outside off, he scooped it the other way round. Four runs anyway behind the wicket
