1.5 back of a length, nudged out to midwicket, and that's a mighty tight second run! Clarke is struggling as the shy comes in, he's sent back, and is inches short as David gathers and whips off the bails in a fluid motion. A crazy waste of a batter in the Powerplay. Rogers never looked like making it and pulled out pronto 7/1

4.2 dragged down, but slammed to deep midwicket! There was a man set back for that ball, he dug it in but not quite as short as intended. Rogers could have picked his spot on the leg side, but went for broke and hauled a simple chance straight to the boundary rider 24/2

17.4 dug in, top-edged - Cartwright is toast! Battling innings from the Stars man but he won't be seeing it through to the end. Just back of a length, not quite there to pull and the catch was a simple one for McDermott jogging up from behind the stumps 109/4

13.6 gottim, slower ball scooped to mid-off! Webster's agonised struggle is ended via a leading edge that pops up for a simple catch inside the ring. Meredith breaks the stand with the final ball of the Power Surge (sic) 84/3

18.1 short of a length, cut to backward point! Stars stutter again, Larkin looking to use the pace on the ball but couldn't have picked out the man any better. Well held at head height by Jewell 119/5

19.6 bowled behind his legs! Gets too cute this time, walking across his stumps, and Meredith hits the target. Still, without that 20 off 7 from Seymour, Stars really would be shooting low tonight 131/7

18.3 full outside off, skewed to short third! Ellis gets two in three balls, takes pace off wide of the stumps and NCN tries to hit the cover off it, only succeeds in lobbing a gentle catch to Ashraf on the edge of the ring 119/6

11.1 huge wipe, and a big nick! Jewell's jewel of an innings comes to an end, a wild smear to the leg side, loses his shape as Hatcher finds some outswing. He's given away a shot at a hundred, but he's surely sealed this game 94/2

1.1 perfect from Hatcher! That's more like it, ideal line and length, a threat of swing away from the off-stump line, but nips back imperceptibly instead, leaving McDermott flat-footed on his drive as his middle and off stumps get splattered. Big breakthrough 10/1

14.3 another hack to the leg side, Crawley doesn't connect this time, a simple take in the deep from Cartwright. The end of a middling knock from Hobart's Bazball rep. He'd be dropped for that strike rate in the Test team... 115/4

12.1 blasted back at the bowler, dropped... and David is run out instead! So much drama ... first things first, it was a fierce blow off the full length, straight back at Zampa who could barely react in time. The chance ricocheted behind the bowler, who gave instant chase, picked up and turned, and Clarke scooped up the shy as David, gallumphing through, trod on his own bat as he stretched for the crease! Suddenly, a glimmer for Stars? 98/3

15.6 It's academic now! Short's stumps get splattered by the yorker, right up to the blockhole as he shaped to leg. Wickets are the only thing that can save Stars now... and they have five of them 121/5

17.3 drilled at mid-off! Inept cricket from Hobart! Full length, slower ball, looking to finish in a rush, and simply holes out to leave his side in genuine peril now! 129/8

16.3 inside-edged drive, and another goes! Length delivery, nip off the seam, loose and ugly from Owen, back goes his off stump, and there's just the beginnings of a glimmer for Stars... surely not! 123/6

16.5 hacked off a good length, and another goes! This is truly abject from Hobart! A rush to get over the line, and they are giving their wickets away like T-shirts from a launcher into the crowd! Mid-on hurtles in, grabs low to the ground, and there's still nine runs needed to win! 123/7
