11.00pm Apologies for the confusion with the scoring towards the end. A lot was happening, and the sequence of balls got a little muddled up. In any case, a big win for the Strikers, which means the Renegades remain on eight points, the same as the Sydney Thunder and the Brisbane Heat. It looks like the Renegades-Heat game could become a virtual quarter-final. Do join us tomorrow for Sixers versus Stars. Until then, goodbye!

Robert Brown: "I took a catch like that 52 years ago, playing school boy cricket, it was a super catch has lived in my memory for years, but that one came close to mine"

10.50pm The Adelaide Strikers move back above the Perth Scorchers to reclaim first place, which means they've earned themselves a home semi-final. A brilliant performance today; they never looked like they wouldn't defend 173, after a brief spurt of early aggression from the Renegades. A vital partnership in the first innings too, between Travis Head and Colin Ingram. But the moment of the day had to be that catch - undoubtedly the catch of the tournament and an early contender for catch of the year: made by Ben Laughlin, taken by Jake Weatherald.

Laughlin to Hodge, 4 byes

the bails start flashing as he does Hodge in with a slower, outswinging yorker. Plays all around it, but it's a free-hit, and the ball hits off stump and runs away to the third man boundary. Maybe a thin edge on it too - the umpire doesn't signal byes

Free-hit

2n-l
Laughlin to Tremain, (no ball) 1 leg bye

high full-toss on off stump, immediately signalled no-ball. Opens up and looks to hoick it away. Hits him on the glove (?) and rolls into the point region

Laughlin to Hodge, 1 run

in the blockhole, just outside off, squeezed to the left of extra-cover

that late outswing again. A full-toss outside off and he slaps it to the right of sweeper cover

18.3

Laughlin to Hodge, 1 run

inswinging yorker, goes late and into the pads. No appeal because it was going down leg. Misses the flick and the ball ricochets off pad into the off side

Laughlin to Hodge, no run

slower full ball wide of off stump, Hodge slashes and misses

Kev: "I feel we haven't talked about that catch enough yet" -- Go on, give us your opinions!

Siddle to Hodge, 1 run

yorker outside off, slapped straight to extra-cover

17.4
Siddle to Hodge, no run

slower ball, full, looks to slog it away and only ends up hitting it back to the bowler in his follow-through. The ball either bounced on the ground, very close to his bat, or straight up off his left foot. They're checking with the third umpire and it's bounced on the ground, so it isn't a c&b. Siddle also missed the stumps at the keeper's end with the batsman quite a way out of his ground

17.3

Siddle to Wildermuth, 1 run

full outside off, looks for a big heave and gets a thick edge that loops up and bounces out of reach of the short third man fielder turning around and running back towards the boundary
