9.55pm: We've had a post-Christmas cracker at the Adelaide Oval. A big win for Melbourne Stars, sending home the NYE crowd disappointed. Only their second win of the competition, and one that was much-needed after three straight defeats. Marcus Stoinis is named Player of the Match for his 74 off 35: "I was disappointed with some of my dismissals. Today was about hitting the ball on the ground, then putting a big swing on it." Apologies for some scoring issues on our side, but we got there in the end. Thanks for your comments, Happy New Year to all. Join again in 2023 for two more games from the BBL! Bye

19.6

Wood to Hose, no run, length ball, swing and a miss, bounces over the stumps! Wood has sealed it, Stars win a thriller by eight runs!

19.5

Wood to Rashid Khan, 1 run, slower ball wide of off, superbly bowled by Wood. Rashid can only dig it out to leg for one

Ten off two, Rashid needs to hit a six

19.4

Wood to Rashid Khan, 2 runs, full toss wide of off, slugged out to the boundary rider for two

Stars change the field, Wood has an off-side sweeper now

19.3

Wood to Rashid Khan, FOUR, smoked to the cover boundary! Wood puts it on a length wide of off, looking to protect the leg-side hit... but ends up getting carved to the ropes nevertheless

Sixteen off four now

19.2

Wood to Rashid Khan, no run, wide blockhole from Wood, he was across and waiting for it, but can only bunt the ball back to the bowler

Rashid is eyeing up the short leg-side boundary

19.1

Wood to Hose, 1 run, wide full toss, Hose can only dink it to cover for one

Last over, 17 needed... and Stars have missed the cut-off, and will have to have an extra man inside the ring! Luke Wood is the man tasked with closing this out, in the face of a raucous home crowd

Stoinis to Rashid Khan, FOUR, full and wide, jammed to deep third! Another vital boundary off the last ball of the 19th over, and Strikers are kicking and screaming in this chase!

Trent Boult4-0-34-1
Liam Hatcher4-0-29-2

17.6

Boult to Hose, 2 runs, skips out, turns this into a full toss and clubs it over the bowler's head. Hose brings up a 37-ball fifty, he's keeping Strikers in the hunt here

17.5

Boult to Rashid Khan, 1 run, pitched up, wide blockhole again and Rashid can only squeeze one towards backward point

17.4

Liam Hatcher4-0-29-2

16.6

Hatcher to Rashid Khan, 1 run, runs a single to deep third. Excellent over from Hatcher, two wickets and only five runs conceded

16.6

Hatcher to Rashid Khan, 1 wide, wild bumper from Hatcher, sailing down leg

16.5

Hatcher to Hose, 1 run, length on the stumps, Hose swipes a pull out to deep square leg

16.4

Hatcher to Rashid Khan, 1 run, fired in full and straight, nurdled leg side for one

Hat-trick ball, Rashid Khan on strike

16.3

Hatcher to Kelly, OUT, nicked him off first ball! Good length and Kelly wafts without footwork, he'll be walking straight back off alongside Daddles! Two in two for Hatcher

T Kelly c †Clarke b Hatcher 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Tom Kelly is in next

16.2

Hatcher to de Grandhomme, OUT, pumped down the ground, straight to long-off! No debate about this one. CDG doesn't get enough elevation, it's a long hit down there and the fielder settles under a simple take. Big blow for Stars at a crucial stage

C de Grandhomme c Boult b Hatcher 13 (8b 1x4 1x6) SR: 162.50

16.1

Hatcher to Hose, 1 run, full, straight, Hose looks to scoop and... deflected off the back of the bat, I think! Hatcher was asking for lbw, not given on field but Stars review. Ah no, looks like Hose has missed this. There's a spike on Snicko, but Claire Polosak initially suggests it's bat on ground... then seems to change her mind. For some reason we then lose the audio. Signalled not out by umpire Treloar! Hose survives

Hatcher back, 45 needed from the last four
