- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 gone this time! Salamkheil has two, and that is a huge moment in the game! This is a little slower, wider and perhaps a touch shorter outside off. Might have been the wrong'un too, meaning that Lynn has to work against the angle. Skews it off the top edge and Chaudhary, running in from deep square leg, dives forward to send Lynn on his way. Does the thigh-five too and the Hurricanes have an opening! 75/31.1 goes straight up, and the Hurricanes break through early! Hard length on off. Short thinks he can pick this up and pull it over mid wicket but the ball rushes onto him. Gets a fat top edge that goes a mile up. Wade calls early, tracks it all the way and then completes the catch. Perfect start for the home side! 2/14.6 picks out Ellis to perfection! Salamkheil dangles the carrot outside off and Weatherald bites. He thinks he can go inside-out, over long off, but does not get the elevation he is after, perhaps because the ball is fuller than he anticipated. Arrows it straight to Ellis, who makes no mistake at long off! 35/215.1 what a catch! Dug into the track outside off and based on how Pope reacts, this might have been a change-up. He reaches out but generates no power, spooning it towards deep cover. Owen takes charge of the situation, flies forward like a superhero and snaffles the chance with both hands. Could that tilt the momentum the Hurricanes' way? 139/417.6 knocks him over! Jordan's spell ends with a big scalp! Hard length. Pitches just outside off and nips back in a smidgen. Ross wanted to cut it away but the inward movement made that untenable. The ball zips past his flailing blade and thunders into the top of off stump. An enterprising knock but someone else will have to take the Strikers closer to 200 now! 170/5Extras8 (b 1, lb 3, w 4)TOTAL186/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.3)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (D'Arcy Short, 1.1 ov), 2-35 (Jake Weatherald, 4.6 ov), 3-75 (Chris Lynn, 8.3 ov), 4-139 (Ollie Pope, 15.1 ov), 5-170 (Alex Ross, 17.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 stumped by a mile! Fizzed through on a length outside off. Owen perhaps pre-meditates his charge and gets nowhere close to it. Misses the ball completely as it spins past his bat and Ollie Pope does the rest behind the stumps. A wonderful cameo, though, and it has set the Hurricanes up nicely! 61/17.1 Bazley holds on, and both leggies are on the board now! Tossed up on a length outside off. Wade brings out the sweep but cannot get on top of it on this occasion. A bit of a top edge and Bazley, stood on the deep backward square leg fence, does not err this time! 79/29.2 does him all ends up! Dangles the carrot outside off and Hope bites. He skips down, trying to smash it into next week. Gets nowhere close to the ball, largely because he was deceived in the flight. Swings wildly and misses, and Pope whips off the bails in a flash. Another scratchy knock by Shai Hope, and the Strikers are turning the screw now! 93/310.4 timmmbbberrrrr! This is fired in quicker, flatter and maybe a tad fuller on middle stump. McDermott looks to smash it over cow corner but that is not a great option against a ball that is that full. Aims too square as well and ends up missing it altogether. Hears the death rattle and Lloyd Pope's roar soon after, and the Strikers are right back in this! 101/417.5 taken at mid off! Very similar to the previous two balls. In the slot and there to be hit. Chaudhary, though, does not get under it, nor does he get over it. Chips it rather tamely to Overton, who dives forward to his left and gobbles up the chance. Surely too little, too late now? 176/5Extras7 (b 4, w 3)TOTAL187/5 (18.4 Overs, RR: 10.01)Fall of wickets: 1-61 (Mitchell Owen, 4.4 ov), 2-79 (Matthew Wade, 7.1 ov), 3-93 (Shai Hope, 9.2 ov), 4-101 (Ben McDermott, 10.4 ov), 5-176 (Nikhil Chaudhary, 17.5 ov)
