10.10pm Lynn-less Heat open their campaign with a 15-run win in front of a packed home crowd. Marcus Stoinis threatened the 207-run target with a sublime 99 and found some support from James Faulkner, but Doggett, Shadab, and Swepson did well to plug the boundaries in the end overs. The win, however, was set up by fifties from Burns and Ross. Hope you enjoyed the coverage as much as we did bringing it to you. Thanks for reading. This is Deivarayan Muthu and P Ranjith signing off.
Huzefa: "Stoinis is unfortunately making a habit of contributing humongously in tough run chases #146"
StatsGuru: "Hastings has to put his hands up and accept the blame for the loss, to only give Faulkner 1 over whilst others were going around the park is unacceptable
Rajat raj: "Or punjab already watching the match and retain Stoinis."

Steketee to Faulkner, 1 run, Faulkner shuffles a fair way outside the leg stump and manufactures swinging room, but this is a short, slower cutter outside off, forced to the covers

Steketee to Gulbis, OUT, back of a length on off, he clears his front leg and hacks it away to the right of long-on. Good running catch from Doggett

Steketee to Stoinis, 1 run, OUT, Stoinis has been dropped on 98 but has been run out on 99. Stunning innings from Stoinis but it can't get his side past the line. He slugs this back-of-a-length ball straight to deep midwicket but Labuschange now drops the catch. He recovers a fires a throw at the keeper's end. Stonis is caught short despite a full-length dive

Steketee to Stoinis, 2 runs, Pierson, the keeper, runs back and misses this skier. It hung up in the sky for a long time. Short and cramps the moving batsman for room. The result is a swirling top edge, which Pierson drops

Steketee to Stoinis, 2 runs, Baz back-tracks from mid-off, stretches his hands, but this miscue clears him. Faulkner gave himself room and sliced it away

Steketee to Stoinis, 2 runs, full on off, clubbed across the line between deep midwicket and wide long-on. Good tag-team work in the deep
Can Stars conjure 24 off the last over? Stekete to bowl it
Adrian Meredith: "I saw Ian Botham get 24 off an over once back in the day. Can Stoinis do it today?"
