Yagya Pd. Timal: "Its nice to see how Sandeep Lamichhane turned the tune of the game. Well done Boy!! "

Ritesh: "The big feature of this BBL has been the refreshing Dale Steyn 2.0."

Matt: "Dale Steyn is like a fine red wine. He just gets better with age

Sangam Gautam: "Two spin twin totally change the momentum towards Melbourne star. What a come back by lamichhane in last 2overs,loves to see."

8:41pm A roaring comeback from Melbourne Stars. Their spinners have engineered a dramatic slowdown in the back end of the innings. It was a slow, watchful start from a team that has reason to be tentative. On a good surface, they did manage to get some partnerships in and set up for a big finish at 117 for 2. But some slick work at long-on accounted for Shaun Marsh, a touch-and-go stumping of Christian went in Stars' favour, and the pressure just mounted from there. They fell to 125 for 7 in the matter of three overs, and have just crawled to 142 to close their innings. Certainly seems below par at the halfway stage. We're back soon for the chase.

Steyn to Gleeson, 1 bye, slower short ball wide outside off. Backs away and swishes to be beaten
19.4
W
Steyn to Sutherland, OUT, caught behind. A quicker short one this time, a nice Test match length in the corridor. Looks for the pull again but that's too quick for him. Takes the edge and it's an easy catch for Handscomb

W
Steyn to Sutherland, OUT, run out at the non-striker's. Legcutter at a length on off stump. Has a big slog at that and is beaten. Doesn't want the run, probably for the best. Steyn gathers the throw and waits and teases before gently taking one bail off

TD Andrews run out 3 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 75.00

He has five balls to try and haul them past 150. Fine leg is back. Mid-off is in.

Lamichhane to Cooper, OUT, has him next ball with a googly! Just not picking him at all. Googly at a length at off stump. Plants the front leg across the stumps and has a hurried flick at it. Rapped right in front and Lamichhane closes his spell with a three-for
