- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 Skied high, and taken! Full and outside off, it was there to be hit. Brown looks to loft it over mid-off, gets it off the toe-end. Weibgen has his eyes on the ball as he takes a few steps back, grabs it with both hands 28/118.6 Nicked and gone! A double-wicket over for Wildermuth, and that is curtains to Seifert's knock. The dismissal comes with a shot that has worked so well for him tonight - the flay over the off side. Full and wide ball, he looks to reach out and hit it over the off side. He loses his balance but not before getting a feather behind 204/56.4 In the air, another safe catch. Dooley gets RIzwan cheaply. Lands it on a fullish length, he reaches out to slog it over the on side. The length not really there for the shot. Gets more height than distance, Bryant makes no mistake 49/29.3 Fraser-McGurk's stay is a short one. He had already got a boundary early in the over, so did not need to manufacture another one. But he gets across to the off side to swipe a length ball over fine leg. Misses and sees the stumps light up 82/318.3 Miscued to mid-off! A soft dismissal to what was a fantastic power-hitting show from Peake. Length ball just outside off, he looks to go over the off side. Ends up plonking it to McSweeney on the ring 203/4Extras12 (b 3, lb 2, nb 3, w 4)TOTAL212/5 (20 Overs, RR: 10.6)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Josh Brown, 3.3 ov), 2-49 (Mohammad Rizwan, 6.4 ov), 3-82 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 9.3 ov), 4-203 (Oliver Peake, 18.3 ov), 5-204 (Tim Seifert, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.2 The change of pace works for Sutherland. He digs it in on a shortish length. Munro charges down to manufacture the extra pace. Despite that he has to delay his heave an extra second, and that brings his downfall. Ends up hitting it straight down Hassan Khan's throat at long-on 106/50.5 Edged and gone! Behrendorff on the board early. Fullish length, not full enough for the drive, a hint of swing in. Wildermuth goes for the drive and gets a feather on the inside edge. Rizwan dives to his left to pouch it safely 5/13.1 Bull's eye at the bowler's end and that should be curtains for McSweeney! Slanting away on a shortish length, he defends it towards backward point. Wants a quick run but hesitates before truly taking off. Hassan Khan doesn't hesitate and nails the direct hit to send the Heat captain on his way 21/26.5 Straight to short third, Renshaw cannot believe it. He was batting fluently, like he has done all season. Sees the length ball angling away and looks to help it away over short third. But the tall Behrendorff is stationed there and he takes it with a leap 55/311.2 Behrendorff outfoxes Bryant with a slower one! Lands it on a length, it is the knuckle ball. Bryant looks to swing it away over the leg side, finds Peake at the deep midwicket rope 100/412.6 Holes out to deep midwicket! Shortish and outside off, Bartlett hangs back to launch it over the shorter leg-side boundary. Gets more height than distance. Fraser-McGurk is right at the boundary line and he takes it safely. A double-wicket over for Sutherland 108/618.5 Sutherland extracts revenge to keep Renegades ahead. Full and outside off, Peirson looks to carve it over the off side. Ends up scything it to deep backward point. Harry Dixon, sub for Seifert, runs in, slides and catches that 186/719.5 Castled! Fires it full and straight on middle and leg, Afridi looks to slog it across the line. Misses and is out of here for a three-ball duck. Not a memorable BBL debut for the Pakistan star 196/8Extras11 (b 1, lb 4, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL198/8 (20 Overs, RR: 9.9)Did not bat: PG DooleyFall of wickets: 1-5 (Jack Wildermuth, 0.5 ov), 2-21 (Nathan McSweeney, 3.1 ov), 3-55 (Matt Renshaw, 6.5 ov), 4-100 (Max Bryant, 11.2 ov), 5-106 (Colin Munro, 12.2 ov), 6-108 (Xavier Bartlett, 12.6 ov), 7-186 (Jimmy Peirson, 18.5 ov), 8-196 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 19.5 ov)
