8.05pm: Not a whole heap of beans for Renegades there. Having opted to bat, they only managed to score nine boundaries in their 20 overs, and will have their work cut out defending. Sixers in the box seat for a win that would put them level with Perth Scorchers at the top of the BBL standings. Back in 10

1
Jordan to Rogers, 1 run, tries to come down, Jordan aims at his bootlaces, squirted leg side off an inside edge - so Sixers will need 125 to win this one

Kozza is back: "To clarify… I meant the ability to do so… Wells didn't raise his bat in anger. Nurdling the ball around won't work. Look at Hosein now! Looking to hit in front of the wicket "

Jordan to Rogers, no run, off-stump yorker, 137kph and dug out, Jordan fields to his right

Jordan to Hosein, 1 run, right in the blockhole again, Hosein digs it out leg side and ambles one when two was on offer! Breaks his streak

Jordan to Rogers, 1 run, full and straight, 138kph and dug out
19.2

Jordan to Rogers, FOUR, scooped off his stumps past short fine leg! An example of how tough it is to bowl yorkers these days, as that was right on the money, would have nailed the base of off stump... but Rogers jumped around and flicked it away for four

Tom Rogers is in at No. 9

19.1
W
Jordan to Handscomb, OUT, full toss, flubbed to cover! Bad ball, bad shot. Handscomb heads off cursing. Almost a no-ball, I'd say, but he got right under it and sent a high catch to the backpedaling Henriques

PSP Handscomb c Henriques b Jordan 5 (17m 3b 1x4 0x6) SR: 166.66

Last over

Here's Jp: "Is it me or does there (frustratingly) seem to be a lack of innovation from teams in regards to pinch hitters this season? Example: gades had a great opportunity to send Akeal up to 4 or 5 today and give him a licence. Worst case scenario he gets out within 5 balls and not a lot of harm is done While Wells has faced 30 balls and hasn't even struck at 100...."

Kerr to Hosein, 2 runs, full on the pads, plinked without timing but Hosein is getting his contractual two here, as Jordan trots in from long-on

Kerr to Hosein, 2 runs, fullish length outside off, 124kph and Hosein chips languidly down the ground fine of long-off for another two

Kerr to Hosein, 2 runs, low full toss sliding into the pads, clipped fine of long-on and Hossein gets another brace

Kerr to Hosein, 2 runs, full outside off, 125kph and worked in front of long-on for a tight two

Out comes Akeal Hosein

"Anyone batting in the middle order in the BBL facing 30 balls needs to have the ability to be 50 or 60.Wells is neither good enough nor the right guy to send in at 4." Not sure it's quite the pitch for 60 off 30, Kozza. And Wells is batting at No5. But apart from that, point taken

18.1
W
Kerr to Wells, OUT, length ball, Wells jumps across looking to scoop... did he tickle this through to the keeper? Philippe was keen, and Sixers have reviewed the not-out call. Could be a flick of glove on this. Yep, Real-Time Snicko agrees, and Wells has to go

JW Wells c †Philippe b Kerr 28 (44m 31b 2x4 0x6) SR: 90.32

Kerr for the 19th

Bala: "@Joey and 5 DIFFERENT catchers." It just gets better and better

1
Jordan to Wells, 1 run, length ball angling in at 137kph, there's an appeal for lbw... think Wells got some bat on it
17.5

Jordan to Handscomb, 1 run, low full toss, Handscomb dinks it back through mid-on without timing
17.4
1
Jordan to Wells, 1 run, wide blockhole, 137kph and Wells chops down, gets one into the covers

Jordan to Wells, 2 runs, half-volley in the channel, Wells get a couple with a punch in front of the cover sweeper
17.2
0
Jordan to Wells, no run, wide full toss, inside the tramlines as Wells jumps out and lets it go. Umpire happy with that

Joey: "5 wickets by 5 DIFFERENT bowlers. Yippee."

Jordan to Wells, no run, full in the blockhole, Wells toe-ends a drive back to the bowler. Jordan pounces to his right

Jordan back, he has two of the last three

Dwarshuis to Handscomb, FOUR, short and chopped away, should be one to deep third... but a misfield gives Handscomb four! Through the hands and it trickles away. Renegades will take 'em, brings up the 100

Peter Handscomb has dropped down to No. 7

16.5
W
Dwarshuis to Sutherland, OUT, drilled flat, but scooped at deep midwicket! Another smart take from Sixers in the field, Jordan Silk this time motoring in off the rope and stooping to hold on by his bootlaces. Renegades, meanwhile, can't catch a break

W Sutherland c Silk b Dwarshuis 6 (12m 8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 75.00

"What happen to Andre Russell is he injured?" He was only with the Gades on a short, four-game stint, Travis
