9.40pm: As suspected, Stars just didn't have enough to put pressure on the Scorchers chase. Ashton Turner's rapid fifty was the difference after the visitors had laboured to 135 all out, and that means Stars stay down in the depths with one win from five. Scorchers, the defending champions, top the table with eight points. That's it for tonight, we'll be back for more tomorrow. Bye!

Stoinis to Turner, 3 runs

short and swatted away, high over midwicket but it pulls up short as Boult runs around from long-on

"Why is David Willey not playing for the Scorchers this season? They can afford to play 3 overseas, and he's a fellow Northern Supercharger like Faf and Lyth." I think he pulled out for family reasons, Sam. They do have David Payne (left-arm swing) and Steve Eskinazi (top-order batter) available
