Brisbane Heat win by 12 runs and that's a huge result for them. They are into the top five. Hurricanes' season hangs in the balance. A very good effort from the home side's bowlers on a tricky pitch. Michael Neser led the way and Spencer Johnson was terrific. Things just haven't clicked for Hurricanes although they aren't quite done for yet. Here's how the table looks now.
That brings us to the end of the BBL action for the day. Still plenty to play for in the race to the finals. We'll be back tomorrow with coverage of Australia against Pakistan, the third ODI from North Sydney, and the Sydney Smash between Sixers and Thunder in the evening. Until then, from Alex and Gnasher, it's goodbye and thanks for joining us.

Johnson to David, 1 run, full at off stump, a bottom-handed swing to long-on
Appears somebody has run on the ground which will be costly exercise for that said person

Johnson to David, no run, another dot ball! Magnificent from Johnson. Short of a length, 145kph, David swings over the top of it

Johnson to David, no run, can't connect! The crowd go wild. Big swing outside off, angling past him

Johnson to David, 2 runs, full and wide, David flays at it, out to deep point, well fielded but he's able to get back to keep the strike
So it's 18 needed off the last. Spencer Johnson to bowl. Good finish
