David Payne to Sam Elliott, 2 runs, short of a good length and angling into the right-hander, tucked wide of mid-wicket for a couple

David Payne to Sutherland, out Caught by Hardie!! Another twist to the game - Sutherland falls, this could be so crucial for the Scorchers. Payne backed his slower off-cutter and pushed it wide of the right-hander, Sutherland had come down the pitch, makes room and flays at that, didn't get hold of the shot and lobs it in the air towards extra-cover - Hardie back-tracks, keeps his eyes on the ball and completes a reverse cupped catch. Sutherland c Hardie b David Payne 15(18) [6s-1]

David Payne to Sutherland, SIX, beautifully played, Sutherlandto the rescue of the Gades once again? Shimmies down the pitch, makes room and then chips the drive over mid-off, sails over the ropes for a maximum

David Payne to Oliver Peake, 1 run, no luck this time though and the Gades slip into trouble - the 3rd umpire has been called, but this looked like a good catch from Turner. Was a back of a length delivery from Payne, bowled into the pitch and Peake couldn't control the pull, hit slightly high on the bat and lobbed over towards mid-on - Turner back-tracked, kept his eyes on the ball and then completed a fine overhead catch as he tumbled backwards. But as he did so, did the ball touch the ground? It's clearly touched the ground and as per rules, it's NOT OUT as the fielder wasn't in control of it - the Optus crowd don't like it one bit and boos ring round along the ground - the two on-field umpires once again converge to have a chat, Mitch Marsh, the Perth Scorchers captain joins in - probably it's to decide if this would be given as a run or would it be a dead ball - did they cross before the catch was taken? Looks like they did and Peake will not just survive, he'll get a run as well - controversial moment at the Optus

David Payne to Rizwan, out Seifert Run Out!! Oh dear! Calamity for the Gades with both batters finding themselves at the same end - it's Seifert who has to go - Rizwan drove one in front of mid-off and set-off for a quick single, it was his call, Seifert started and then stopped - Rizwan though kept his head down and kept running, he plonked the bat first at the bowler's end - the throw is lobbed to the keeper who breaks the stumps with Seifert sacrificing himself. Seifert run out (Turner/Laurie Evans) 11(16) [4s-1]
