8:08pm Highest total in a WBBL finals match and Heat are siiting pretty comfortably at the halfway stage. They got off to a flying start, thanks to Wyatt's excellent batting. She looked adept against pace and spin alike and took special liking to Strano's offspin. Even after Smith picked up two wickets in an over to briefly dent Heat, they surged through Laura Harris' cameo before Knott and Hancock dealt crucial blows at the end. Hurricanes are now on the back foot. Will they manage to overhaul the target or will their WBBL08 stint end? Gnasher will be here soon with the reply.

"Might be a language problem between Lizelle and Elyse," says Mignon du Preez on air with a laugh. She adds that Lee signalled that there was bat involved in that lbw call, which Villani mistook as a sign to opt for DRS.

Graham to Hancock, no run, Huge appeal for lbw, not given! Villani signals the 'T'. It is full and on the pads, Hancock misses her flick. Is it going down leg? Doesn't matter because there is a huge spike on Snicko when the ball passes the bat.

Hurricanes opt for the review for a lbw call against Hancock.

Graham to Hancock, FOUR, Clears long-off! A bit of a misjudgement by the fielder there. Back-of-the-hand slower one outside off, it is full as well. Hancock ends up timing it rather too well. Trenaman runs in from long-off and eventually has to jump but misses. Lands just inside the ropes.

Graham to Knott, 1 run, Outside off on a length, punched towards covers. Didn't time it too well and she makes a late call to sprint.
