8.15pm: So the Strikers need 150 to win after an impressive bowling performance from Wes Agar in particular. Rashid Khan and Daniel Worrall were also impressive, taking two wickets each, and but for a crucial middle-order cameo from Nic Maddinson, the Stars would be miles short. Back-to-back first-ballers for Maxwell, while Stoinis will be frustrated not to have made a bigger contribution after looking in fine touch. We'll be back shortly for the run chase.

Worrall to Maddinson, SIX, low full toss on the pads, and clears Renshaw at deep square leg this time! Maddinson and the Stars finish with a flourish. Poor ball to finish from Worrall, and Maddinson got enough bat on the whippy flick to beat the man on the boundary
19.5
6
Worrall to Maddinson, SIX, beats Rashid Khan at deep midwicket on the rope! That's more like it. Not a particularly clean connection, but enough to clear the boundary-rider
19.4
0
Worrall to Maddinson, no run, slower-ball bouncer, and Maddinson misses the upper-cut. Looked like it was comfortably above head-height, but given as a dot
19.3
2
Worrall to Maddinson, 2 runs, low full toss, punched out to mid-off, and they steal two on Salt's misfield. Usually brilliant in the field, but he's not quite been on it tonight
19.2
0
Worrall to Maddinson, no run, drops deep in the crease, pace-on this time, but can't get it away, inside-edging into the pads
19.1
0
Worrall to Maddinson, no run, offcutter, yorker-length, and dug out back to the bowler

Worrall to bowl the last. Can the Stars scrape up towards 150? Worrall is over the wicket to the left-handed Maddinson

4
Agar to Rainbird, FOUR, clears the front leg and belts him over cover for four! Thrashed away with a full extension of the arms, and that will put a dent in Agar's figures. They're still very impressive: 2 for 19 in his four.

Agar to Maddinson, 1 run, full on the pads, whipped out to deep midwicket

Agar to Maddinson, 1 wide, hangs a wide one outside the off stump, trying to get out of Maddinson's hitting arc, but too wide

Agar to Rainbird, 1 run, yorker at leg stump, dead-batted towards square leg for one
18.3
1lb
Agar to Maddinson, 1 leg bye, fired in at the heel, and it flicks away off the boot
18.2
6
Agar to Maddinson, SIX, drops too short, and Maddinson slugs it over midwicket for six. Slower ball, which he picked, and it's such a short boundary that a 63-metre hit clears the rope quite easily
18.1
0
Agar to Maddinson, no run, yorker yet again, and Maddinson can only dig it out back to the bowler

Rainbird is the new man but Maddinson is on strike to face Agar.

END OF OVER:
18 | 10 Runs 2 Wkts | MS: 121/7 | RR: 6.72

  • Nic Maddinson27 (24b)
  • Daniel Worrall3-1-14-2
  • Wes Agar3-1-6-2

16 runs and two wickets in Power Surge. That's not ideal for Stars fans.

Worrall to Zampa, OUT, cutter on a length, Zampa is beaten all ends up and is knocked over! In fact, looked like the back-of-the-hand slower ball. Zampa didn't pick it, and saw his middle stump pegged back.

Worrall to Maddinson, 1 run, worked away to midwicket

Worrall to Maddinson, FOUR, classy uppercut for four more! Banged in short, following Maddinson as he backed away to leg. Gets the uppercut out, ramping it between Carey and short third man
17.3
4
Worrall to Maddinson, FOUR, strays down the leg side, Maddinson flicks off the pads and Briggs can only tip it over the crossbar at short fine leg! Half-chance, nothing more. He leapt at full extension but could only get a fingertip to it
17.2
1
Worrall to Zampa, 1 run, banged in halfway down, pulled into the leg side

Adam Zampa in at No. 8. Whatever the Stars' gameplan was before this game, I doubt it involved Zampa facing any balls in the Surge.

W
Worrall to Gotch, OUT, yes he can! Low full toss on the stumps, Gotch tries to give himself room to hit over the off side but loses his shape and chips it up to Rashid Khan, who takes a simple chance at cover. The Stars lose their sixth and are limping towards the finish line

SE Gotch c Rashid Khan b Worrall 11 (12b 1x4 0x6) SR: 91.66

Worrall to bowl the second Surge over. Can he back up Agar's excellent work?

END OF OVER:

Agar to Maddinson, 2 leg byes, strays down the leg side, Agar's first bad ball of the over. Flicked something on the way through. The diving Carey got half a glove to it, but could only push it down towards fine leg. Don't think it was a chance, but given as runs
