Five Heat batsmen batted, and each of them did their job to perfection. After their terrible batting performance up north few days ago, this is a much, much better show. The Hurricanes were expensive, but they'll know one thing: two of their highest successful BBL chases have been against Heat. Be back in ten minutes with the chase

Stat alert: four of Heat's seven 200-plus totals in the BBL have been against Hurricanes

Lynn: "Good to know its our highest total. We've been copping a lot the last few days. They've got a few good batters too though. Told Bryant not to panic, and he rode the wave. Positive signs. Any little bit we can do for the community (about the bushfire donation), we must."
