- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 big top edge, taken by Lenton! Bird strikes. Big early moment. Patterson went across the line to a back-of-a-length delivery, wasn't really a pull shot, went straight up in the air and Lenton is calm underneath it 7/14.1 and does he strike first ball?! Lenton completes the stumping. Round the wicket, Inglis drawn out of the crease, beaten on the inside edge, the back foot drags out and he can't get it back. Very good work from Lenton 14/25.1 straight to long-on! Lyon strikes first all and it doesn't come bigger. Tossed up outside off stump, Marsh tried to go straight down the ground, dragged it a touch without elevation. Lyon jumps in delight 20/35.6 reverse swept to backward point! Extraordinary scenes at Marvel. He went down early for the shot and couldn't have picked out the fielder any better 25/415.5 good length ball on fifth stump, tries to heave this down the ground but can't quite get to the reach of it and slices a thick edge swirling to short third man, who jogs forward from the ring to take a safe catch at rib height breaking a century stand. 129/518.5 clumsy dismissal for Agar. Kerry is searching for yorker and misfires badly with a full toss that thuds into Agar on the knee roll in front of middle. Kerr can't believe his luck that Agar has swung over the top of this ball and appeals with the umpire upholding the shout fairly quickly. Agar walks off crestfallen, not at the decision but at the fact that he's missed a meat ball that should've sailed over the leg side rope for six. 158/6Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL171/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.55)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Kurtis Patterson, 1.4 ov), 2-14 (Josh Inglis, 4.1 ov), 3-20 (Mitchell Marsh, 5.1 ov), 4-25 (Colin Munro, 5.6 ov), 5-129 (Ashton Turner, 15.5 ov), 6-158 (Ashton Agar, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 sliced to short third! They'll be no repeat from Kerr. Short of a length, angled across, Kerr went after it but can only pick out the man on the edge of the ring 5/14.6 leading edge, taken at point! Bertus looking to work this to the leg side and it pops a simple chance into the off side. The captain does it. 32/212.5 good length ball on fourth stump, slices this off a thick edge to short third man. Fielded on one bounce by Mitch Marsh who fires a throw to Inglis. The keeper takes off the bails with Hughes a few inches short. 77/66.6 sweeps and given lbw! Full from round the wicket, that looked pretty straight live as Henriques missed. Middle and leg, I reckon 46/39.4 pulled powerfully, but it's a brilliant catch at deep midwicket! Christan picked that up very nicely, but Patterson did very well as he dived low to his right 62/411.2 flights this full and very wide, Avendano reaches out a long way to drive this through cover but drags this back onto the stumps. Hatzoglou has a sheepish grin raising a finger in the air to celebrate. 71/513.2 full on middle, heaves this high to deep midwicket. Gets plenty of elevation but not the distance and it finally comes back down to earth safely into the hands of Patterson. Far less dramatic catch than the diving effort he had earlier in the same position to intercept a bullet. Takes this calmly at waist height five yards inside the rope. 77/713.3 Tye is on a hat-trick! Bouncer on middle, Dwarshuis goes to hook and a thin edge is taken by Inglis. 77/814.3 full and straight, Lyon backs away to heave but is defeated by Richardson's pace and leg stump is knocked back. 82/916.2 yorker clinches a fourth BBL title for Perth Scorchers! Full and straight, O'Keefe plays over the top of this, struck on the toe in front of middle falling over and a straightforward lbw appeal is upheld. The Scorchers squad charges the field ant the celebrations are so wild that Richardson now has a bloody nose! 92/10Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL92 all out (16.2 Overs, RR: 5.63)Did not bat: JM BirdFall of wickets: 1-5 (Hayden Kerr, 1.3 ov), 2-32 (Nicholas Bertus, 4.6 ov), 3-46 (Moises Henriques, 6.6 ov), 4-62 (Dan Christian, 9.4 ov), 5-71 (Justin Avendano, 11.2 ov), 6-77 (Daniel Hughes, 12.5 ov), 7-77 (Sean Abbott, 13.2 ov), 8-77 (Ben Dwarshuis, 13.3 ov), 9-82 (Nathan Lyon, 14.3 ov), 10-92 (Steve O'Keefe, 16.2 ov)
