7:44pm: After a great start for Heat, who made 83 off eight overs, Scorchers came back with regular wickets, used the mix of pace and lengths to restrict Heat to 171. The last 15 balls accounted for the last five wickets. Openers, Munro and Brown, were good for Heat. Billings couldn't get going for a while, he got out not far after looking like he was getting on track. Peirson and Bryant made small contributions but the bowlers chipped in regularly. Tye got the first breakthrough and finished off well. Morris was expensive early but got the big wicket of Munro and finished well. Kelly got a couple, Turner kept a lid on the runs. Scorchers will be the happier side going into the break. See you on the other side soon.

Rizwan: "@Garv This is munro's last game so I think he'll make way for khawaja and Max Bryant isn't performing well so I think he'll make way for labuschagne."

Yoel: "AJ Tye showing once again why he is one of the best death bowlers in Australia."

Tye to Neser, OUT, Doesn't start well for Heat as Neser's slog balloons up and is taken at backward point. Slower one on a length at the stumps, Neser made room and looked to swipe across.

Scorchers have done well to slow Heat down. How will the last over go?

Kelly to Bryant, OUT, Bancroft says Scorchers have clawed things back okay, before he completes the sentence, Kelly knocks over Bryant. The fullish ball beats Bryant's heave across the line. He was back in his crease for the length ball, hits the top of the stumps. Ball tracking shows it moved away which helped beat the bat.
