Big hooping inswinger yorks Hodge and hits middle a third of the way up, what a cracker! 12/14 full outside off, awkwardly steps across to the off side and tries to sweep, gets a big top edge and scoops it to North at mid wicket, who takes a relatively straight forward catch running with the flight of the ball 39/26 length on off, advances and tries to force it over mid off, gets cramped up and mistimes the shot straight to mid off 48/310.1 back of a length on off stump, tries to cut on a ball that was too close to his body, feather edge through to the keeper who makes no mistake this time 74/416.1 length on off, angling in as he naturally does, bit of extra bounce undoes Bravo who gets a thin edge through to the keeper 113/714.2 full outside off, the slower ball beats him and he skies it to backward point 103/619.2 driven to deep cover, almost overthrows and they confuse themself in the process, Pattinson caught mid pitch for the run out 140/8Extras15 (lb 3, w 12)TOTAL145/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.25)Did not bat: DP NannesFall of wickets: 1-12 (Brad Hodge, 1.1 ov), 2-39 (Matt Prior, 3.6 ov), 3-48 (Matthew Wade, 5.6 ov), 4-74 (Andrew McDonald, 10.1 ov), 5-93 (Aaron Finch, 13.2 ov), 6-103 (Glenn Maxwell, 14.2 ov), 7-113 (Dwayne Bravo, 16.1 ov), 8-140 (James Pattinson, 19.2 ov)

Length on off, squares him up as he defends from the crease and pops it up to point where Bravo takes the easiest of catches 18/14.2 back of a length, gets through a little quicker and pulls high in the air out to deep square leg where Pattinson takes a good catch about a metre inside the rope 36/215.3 what a grab! Advances down the deck and gets a big top edge to point where Bravo runs around to take a catch at full pace and at full stretch, as good as we've seen this summer 135/316.2 flighted and driven striaght to cover, Prior finally takes one 140/4Extras7 (b 1, lb 3, w 3)TOTAL146/4 (17.1 Overs, RR: 8.5)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Chris Gayle, 2.2 ov), 2-36 (Adam Voges, 4.2 ov), 3-135 (Luke Pomersbach, 15.3 ov), 4-140 (Luke Ronchi, 16.2 ov)
