Fielders are sliding, batters are having difficulty throughout the innings, and the surface and outfield are terrible for cricket. The renegades made excellent use of the pitch and the circumstances, swinging the ball and giving the batters a great deal of agony. The entire scoreboard will be summed up by the two Scorchers batters who reached the double digits. On one occasion, Connolly managed to survive at the crease after hitting Richardson's ball high to the stadium roof.He continued to score his second BBL fifty after that. In his first BBL game, Spoors played a handy knock with the bat. Harvey dismissed Spoors at mid-wicket with a one-handed screamer. A few powerful hits in the last overs gave the Scorchers bowlers' a chance to fight for the match by putting something on the board. Rogers took the majority of wickets, bagging three, as the fast bowlers bowled superbly. Don't leave; the second inning will begin soon.

Adam: "Some big hitting towards the end has saved the Scorchers there.. still way below par but at least something for their bowlers to work with. "

Melbourne Renegades need 144 runs to win the match
