- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 full and straight from Lee and it's just too good for Simmons tonight 0/118.2 Hazlewood goes full again and Katich tries to heave it into the leg side but it takes a bottom edge and flies through to Dan Smith who makes no mistake with the gloves 133/40.4 Lee hits a good channel, perhaps a fraction short, Marsh looks surprised as he pushes it it, the ball takes the outside edge and Dan Smith takes a good diving catch and it's two in the opening over. Brett Lee on fire at the SCG! 0/217.5 rapid yorker from Lee and it cleans out Whiteman's leg stump. The old fella still has it! 129/319.1 Lee delivers a ball right in the slot but it's slightly slower and Turner mis-times it and lobs it towards mid off and Steve Smith moves in from the fence to take the catch 141/5Extras10 (b 1, lb 4, w 5)TOTAL153/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Craig Simmons, 0.2 ov), 2-0 (Mitchell Marsh, 0.4 ov), 3-129 (Sam Whiteman, 17.5 ov), 4-133 (Simon Katich, 18.2 ov), 5-141 (Ashton Turner, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 cracking delivery from Behrendorff takes the top of leg stump and O'Keefe just tried to hit this one too hard over mid wicket. He lifted his head at the wrong time and paid the price 15/12.4 back of a length and Maddison looked to have enough room to cut there but edges it into the waiting hands of Voges at first slip. Perhaps just tries to hit it too hard there. The stroke looked to be on 20/23.1 yet another beaut of a delivery from Behrendorff shapes into the right-handed Henriques and then seams away to take the outside edge as Henriques tried to play through the leg side. The Scorches have hit back sensationally here! 20/317.2 slower ball from Yasir Arafat deceives Smith as he tries to close the face on it and hit through the leg side but it takes the leading edge and loops to Adam Voges at short third man 131/73.2 Behrendorff brings North forward and the ball swings away from the left-hander and it takes the outside edge and is taken by Whiteman behind. Behrendorff is bowling out of his skin here! 20/411 Silk looks to close the face against the spin and play through the leg side but it takes the leading edge and loops back to the bowler. Crucial break-through from Voges! 75/516.1 another wrong'un from Hogg which come sup trumps as Dan Smith reverse sweeps off the top edge of the bat straight to Thomas at short third man 122/619.4 high quality in-swinging yorker from Yasir Arafat cleans out the leg stump of Brett Lee. And this game just keeps on getting better and better! 151/917.4 not sure what Lyon was trying to do here but he walks away to the leg side and Arafat's slower ball hits the top of off stump. Wonderful timing from the Scorchers' overseas pro! 131/8Extras13 (lb 7, w 6)TOTAL153/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Steve O'Keefe, 1.3 ov), 2-20 (Nic Maddinson, 2.4 ov), 3-20 (Moises Henriques, 3.1 ov), 4-20 (Marcus North, 3.2 ov), 5-75 (Jordan Silk, 10.6 ov), 6-122 (Daniel Smith, 16.1 ov), 7-131 (Steven Smith, 17.2 ov), 8-131 (Nathan Lyon, 17.4 ov), 9-151 (Brett Lee, 19.4 ov)
