Melbourne Stars vs Perth Scorchers, 25th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Tye to Seb Gotch, out Caught by Coulter-Nile!! That's number for for Tye and all of you who had him in your team, well done! Very full and on the stumps, Gotch lofts and hits it straight down Coulter-Nile's throat at long-on. Seb Gotch c Coulter-Nile b Tye 18(22) [4s-1]

Tye to Merlo, out Caught by Coulter-Nile!! This is way up in the air, long-on runs forward, settles under it and breathes a sigh of relief after taking that steepler. Merlo wanted to go over long-on for a maximum, but didn't pick the change of pace and holed out. Merlo c Coulter-Nile b Tye 7(7) [4s-1]

Willey to Merlo, FOUR, pulled in the air, deep mid-wicket is in place but this is placed well wide of him to his left, landed in the slot for the leg-side slog and Merlo didn't miss out

Tye to Dwayne Bravo, out Bowled!! Oh that's gone right through Dwayne Bravo beating by for pace. 140kph full ball, not quite a yorker, but Bravo was way too late on the flick shot, surprised by the pace and the ball sneaks throught to hit leg stump. Dwayne Bravo b Tye 0(2)

Willey to Ben Dunk, out Caught by Agar!! Agar sticks on to the catch finally. Short ball with no pace, Dunk tried to force it over the off-side off the back foot but ended up lobbing an easy catch to the man at point. Ben Dunk c Agar b Willey 62(47) [4s-6 6s-1]

Willey to Ben Dunk, FOUR, and now the fielder at deep backward square leg misjudges what would have been an easy catch had he been back near the rope. Short delivery, Dunk pulls, and gets it over the fielder, who ran in initially and then tried to go back. Four balls and four successive fielding blunders from Perth

Willey to Seb Gotch, 1 run, what's happening to the Scorchers. Bosisto drops a sitter. Shortish slower ball, Gotch pulls and powers it to deep mid-wicket, should have easily been taken, spills it

Coulter-Nile to Ben Dunk, SIX, is it taken on the boundary? Oh the fielder's very close and he's palmed this over the rope. Short of a length delivery on the leg stump, Dunk pulls it high over long leg, the fielder actually could have taken a step back and caught it, he thought he was too close but he wasn't. Fifty for Dunk

Coulter-Nile to Seb Gotch, FOUR, a shot on the move and he's hit it so well that he's got Coulter-Nile thinking and shawdow-practicing on the way back to his bowling mark. Short delivery, Gotch moved across, swivelled and wristed the pull shot over backward square leg for a boundary

Agar to Ben Dunk, FOUR, this is an action replay of the previous ball, short, Dunk rocks backs and smashes it straight to beat long-on and long-off

Agar to Ben Dunk, FOUR, that's too much time for Dunk to camp on the back foot to power a shot over the bowler's head, way too short and slow, Dunk thumped that into the sightscreen

Agar to Ben Dunk, FOUR, shortish one, Ben Dunk rocks right back and flat-bats a pull straight down the ground for four. Ah, T20, you beauty...

Tye to Maddinson, out Caught by Bancroft! He's bounced him out! The cunning Tye has spotted that Maddinson has been late on the pull over the course of his very brief innings, directs a short ball right at the fulcrum. Maddinson is too side-on to do much about this, fends blindly at this brute and gets it off the glove as it lobs straight to the 'keeper. Maddinson c Bancroft b Tye 2(5)

Usman Qadir to Gulbis, out Caught by Willey! Hitting the length consistently reaps its rewards! Tries to reach out with the slog-sweep once again, doesn't account for the topspin on offer when the wristy is bowling, gets a massive top-edge on the sweep towards wide long-on, where Willey runs in to get under a well-judged catch. Gulbis c Willey b Usman Qadir 37(29) [4s-3 6s-1]

Usman Qadir to Gulbis, FOUR, very full and flat on middle, Gulbis takes it on the full and places the bat on the wicket in a way that allows it to deflect away to third man for four - a deft reverse-sweep

Usman Qadir to Ben Dunk, 2 runs, fuller length delivery tossed up on middle, leg-break, Ben Dunk heaves it away with the turn towards deep mid wicket to bring up the 50 of the partnership

Agar to Gulbis, FOUR, fired in towards the pads, eased away wristily to fine leg for four

Agar to Gulbis, SIX, welcome to the crease Mr. Agar! A little full, right in the arc, Gulbis clears his front-leg and goes through with the slog-sweep towards long on for massive six

Hardie to Ben Dunk, FOUR, nice length, but guess what? He's allowed it to come onto the bat and creamed a pretty check-drive to the sweeper cover fence for four

Hardie to Ben Dunk, FOUR, premeditates the shimmy down the track, a good length delivery with a bit of width outside off, Ben Dunk dances down and clubs that flat over mid-off for four towards the long-off boundary

Willey to Gulbis, FOUR, not the worst delivery, pitches on off-stump, on good length, Gulbis opens up hsi stance, clears his front-leg, and hits it flat over the in-field to the left of mid-off for a boundary through wide long-off. Clean...
