15.3 to TK Curran, taken at deep mid wicket! Banged into the track on off stump, and this seems to hurry onto Curran. Gets big on him too, and he cannot control his pull. Splices it towards deep mid wicket, who runs to his right, slides forward and completes the catch. The Sixers' innings is flagging!. 95/6
Xavier Bartlett	3	0	27	1	9.00	7	3	1	0	0
14.4 to JC Silk, knocks him over with an absolute corker! Length delivery that pitches on off stump and seems destined to come in with the angle until...it straightens off the surface and opens up Silk like a deck chair. Has a hopeful prod at it but watches in disbelief as the ball clips the top of off stump. This ball might not have been out of place at the SCG this week, and the Sixers are five down now!. 89/5
Matthew Kuhnemann	4	0	19	2	4.75	10	1	0	0	0
4.4 to JM Vince, Vince bites the dust! More flight, and bowled on a length on middle and leg. Seems to just stick in the surface and bounces a smidgen extra. Vince, looking for the big slog sweep, cannot quite control it and the ball skews tamely off the top edge, nstling into Brown's palms at short fine leg!. 25/1 6.3 to KR Patterson, gets Patterson this time! Slowed up and bowled a little shorter on that leg-stump line. Spins into Patterson further and he has to access that blind spot to play the sweep. Does not get the contact he desires, and ends up lobbing a simple catch to Billings, albeit via his arm. Two wickets in quick succession for Kuhnemann!. 35/2
Mitchell Swepson	4	0	26	1	6.50	7	1	1	0	0
17.4 to SA Abbott, cleans him up! Slowed up beautifully on a length on middle and off. Abbott clears his front leg and tries to tonk it into tomorrow. He is beaten all ends up in flight, though, and gets nowhere close to the ball. Hears the death rattle soon after, and another promising partnership comes to an end!. 113/7
Paul Walter	3	0	25	2	8.33	5	2	1	1	0
12.5 to JR Philippe, edged and taken! Another cutter, bowled into the track outside off. Philippe's timing, because of the lack of pace, goes awry and all he does is nick it through to Billings in the end. 41 valuable runs, although the Sixers would have wanted him to carry on!. 82/3 18.2 to J Edwards, and it pays immediate dividends! Off-pace on a length just outside off. Edwards swings himself off his feet but miscues it completely. Goes miles up. Both the bowler and deep mid wicket are haring in for the catch. Walter spots McSweeney just in time and pulls out at the last moment. The latter holds on, and more importantly, both avoid what could have been a sickening collision!. 121/8

10.2 to SW Billings, Billings falls too! The Heat are losing their way! Full and hung outside off. Billings' eyes light up and he looks to drive on the up. Does not get on top of it, though, neither does he go up and under. Clinks it straight to Vince at extra cover, who is absolutely pumped. Three catches for Vince, and the Sixers now in the ascendancy!. 72/4
Sean Abbott	2.3	0	20	1	8.00	8	3	0	0	1
3.2 to C Munro, goes miles up, and this time it is taken! Hard length on middle and leg. Sticks in the surface and meddles with Munro's timing. The ball skews off the top edge as Munro swipes at it. Vince calls early from mid wicket, keeps his eyes on the ball and holds onto the chance!. 19/1
Steve O'Keefe	3	0	20	1	6.66	8	3	0	0	0
7.5 to J Brown, four and out! Quicker, shorter and perhaps a little flatter on off. Brown gives himself room, looking to carve it over extra cover. Misses the ball completely, though, and his off stump is disturbed. Massive wicket for the Sixers, and one they really needed!. 60/2

9.2 to MT Renshaw, soft dismissal! Hard length on middle and leg, and this seems to hold in the surface again. Renshaw, trying to work it past mid wicket, can only pop it straight to Vince at short mid wicket. The Sixers are hauling themselves back into this contest!. 66/3
