Matthew: "Jordan has given the Canes something to defend! What clean yet incredibly brutal hitting."

Andy C: "Jordan's 17-ball fifty is the joint fourth fastest in BBL and fastest for Hurricanes"

5.50pm So Chris Jordan's 20-ball 59 has completely changed the complexion of this innings and this game. The Perth Scorchers dominated for about 80% off that innings, after Jason Behrendorff and co had ensured that half the batting lineup was sent packing before the halfway point. But after debutant Nikhil Chaudhary and Mitchell Owen had steadied the innings, Jordan entered the fray to play a cameo of a lifetime and set up a more than competitive total for the Hurricanes. Join me in a bit for the start of the chase!
