Dave: "Still looks like a competitive score but what would 170 plus have been. Thats what they should have reached given their position with five overs to go. " Yep, the chase will begin in a little while to offer answers. Stay tuned.

8:13pm 152 for 8, unders? It was a tricky wicket as expected, Sixers started slow but kept wickets in hand and got a boost in the Surge, where Henriques took down Bartlett for 25. But they lost one and the new batters, in an attempt to go big from the start, fell in a heap. Heat's bowlers stuck to their individual plans, Walter went close to the off-side tramline and hit a length or go slightly full. Johnson kept it away from Abbott's arc in the 19th and used the variable bounce, which has been a factor this evening, to his advantage. Henriques used his luck from dropped chances and had a start-stop innings but was the pick of the batters. A 50-ball 59 might look worse than it is, unless the Sixers stick in.

Walter to Dwarshuis, SIX, Neser runs across to the left from long-on... but can't take a boundary catch. He ran a mile and had to take it while leaning back with the ball sailing over, couldn't slow his run and parried it over. The ball was in the slot and was smeared across
