Innings break Chris Lynn on the mic: "Very happy with that bowling performance. Boys have the license to bang them in the powerplay but then in overs 7-12 we need to be smart." The Heat are pleased. Hurricanes won't be. Wade the only shining light.

The big talking point is the Matt Renshaw/Tom Banton catch to remove Wade.

jack: "Can you clarify regarding the rule, does the player touching it originally need to be in the field of play on first touch or can he go stand in the grandstand/hill and jump and bat the ball as many times as needed till reaches the field? If a team needs 6 to win everyone should be beyond the rope."

Here is the detail of when the rule came in.

There are lots of comments asking about Jack's point. A fielder cannot start outside the boundary. The fielder's first contact must be inside but the ball can remain live until the fielder is touching the ball with their feet grounded. So a fielder can juggle it a second time or more as Renshaw did provided they started from inside the boundary when they first touched the ball.

hardik: "No confusion with the catch. Clearly out and a logical rule. If this is not liked by the people, then there needs to a goal-line rule where if the ball crosses the boundary even in the air, it is deemed as a six. Great catch and very smart work. "

Hosford90: "Was already aware of that rule change but still think it's horrendous. Opens up a whole can of worms around what a clever fielder might be able to do if they see a long high six likely to come down well beyond the rope inside the fence."

Laughlin to Ellis, 1 run, slower ball, outside off, he's back and knocking this to point

My colleague Srinath Sripath has the relevant new law for us: 19.4.2 The ball in play is to be regarded as being grounded beyond the boundary if - a fielder, grounded beyond the boundary as in 19.5, touches the ball; - a fielder, after catching the ball within the boundary, becomes grounded beyond the boundary while in contact with the ball, before completing the catch. Seems the third umpire got it right second time
