- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 holes out to long on! Tossed up on middle, it was in the slot and Rogers tried to launch with the turn but didn't hit it well and hit it too flat, easy catch for David running in 54/111.5 Straight to deep midwicket. Meredith goes short again, Webster has to be on his toes to pull that, but hits it straight to Dooley, who makes no mistake 105/212.3 Stoinis is cleaned up for a duck! Tossed up at a length on off and it spins away as Stoinis looks to defend and clatters onto top of off. Beautiful delivery there from Dooley, who takes his first BBL wicket 106/318.1 Caught and bowled. Banged in short and Cartwright top-edges his pull. The ball lobs up and Meredith takes it comfortably 163/419.5 Brilliant throw from Wade! Larkin missed out on this full delivery on middle and they tried to sneak in the run as the ball went behind to the wicketkeeper, but Wade was quick to pick it up and throw the stumps down at the non-striker's end 182/5Extras17 (lb 7, w 10)TOTAL183/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.15)Fall of wickets: 1-54 (Thomas Rogers, 5.4 ov), 2-105 (Beau Webster, 11.5 ov), 3-106 (Marcus Stoinis, 12.3 ov), 4-163 (Hilton Cartwright, 18.1 ov), 5-182 (Nick Larkin, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 outstanding catch from Larkin at deep backward square! McDermott charged at a shorter ball and got a thick top edge that sailed into the twilight above the stands, Larkin camped under it for an eternity just inside the deep square rope and took the catch as cool as you like. 25/15.5 caught behind! 89kph, faster legbreak that bounces a touch as too close to cut, a thin edge is well caught by Clarke. Zampa strikes 43/213.1 And he gets Wade! Length on middle and Wade looked to hoick it away on the leg side, but ends up skying it straight to Cartwright at deep midwicket 92/49.5 skied straight to mid off! 130kph fuller length outside off, Shadab needed to get going and he tried to loft straight but sliced across it and looped a catch to Rogers on the circle 71/317.6 Chipped to extra cover. Looked to flick this full delivery off his toes but gets a leading edge that loops up straight to the substitute fielder O'Connell 131/714.2 Straight to deep midwicket! Length ball around off and Asif looked to hoick it away but it goes straight to Cartwright who gobbles it up. That's the fifth wicket down for the Hurricanes and Stars are in the hot seat now 97/517.1 And instantly sends Neesham packing! Looks to smash this full delivery outside off and ends up skying it to mid-off 122/619.1 What a stunning catch! Banged in short and he looked to back away and cut it but gets a thick edge behind point. Hinchcliffe, on as a sub, runs to his left from short third and takes a brilliant diving effort 134/918.2 Good catch by Boult! Ellis can't get this cleanly as he looks to go aerial off a length ball on middle and Trent Boult does well to run to his left from midwicket and takes it with ease in the end 132/8Extras10 (lb 7, w 3)TOTAL145/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.25)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Ben McDermott, 3.1 ov), 2-43 (D'Arcy Short, 5.5 ov), 3-71 (Shadab Khan, 9.5 ov), 4-92 (Matthew Wade, 13.1 ov), 5-97 (Asif Ali, 14.2 ov), 6-122 (James Neesham, 17.1 ov), 7-131 (Tim David, 17.6 ov), 8-132 (Nathan Ellis, 18.2 ov), 9-134 (Joel Paris, 19.1 ov)
