8.46 pm: Good finish to the innings after a shaky start so Hurricanes have a defendable 178 for 8 on the board. Better than defendable actually. Superb knock by David, and set up well by Ingram earlier. Dan Christian was outstanding with the ball for Sixers. We'll be back shortly with the chase.

Christian to Boland, 2 runs, backs away a huge amount but Christian follows him with a slower yorker, clipped off his toes through midwicket and they run back for the second

Christian to Boland, FOUR, thwacked out of the screws. He's seen Christian's line, and he backs away to deal with it. Short ball this time but it makes no difference as he unleashes a fierce pull shot

Christian to David, OUT, caught at deep midwicket. Made sound connection but that boundary is just too long to clear unless you hit it perfectly. Full ball on leg stump, but not quite yorker length, allows him to clear his front leg and swing through the line. The man is right back at the boundary and holds it above his head

TH David c Edwards b Christian 58 (33b 8x4 1x6) SR: 175.75

Christian to David, 2 runs, stays still but goes inside out with his drive. The man at deep point has to run to his right and slide and stop. Brathwaite there

Right what's David going to do to throw Christina off his line?

Christian to David, 2 runs, stays still and whips another full ball on the pads through midwicket

Martin S: "My earlier comment was not against rule changes as such - just that the 10 over bonus point makes no cricketing sense. If the Sixers are 73/9 after 10 overs do they really deserve a point?"

Christian to Botha, 1 run, full on leg stump, worked to fine leg

Aabhas: "@ David - T20 itself was called a gimmick in the beginning! These T20 leagues provide a good opportunity to test new rules before implementing them in the international games. I think it will be fun!"

Dwarshuis to David, FOUR, outside edge goes to the boundary again. Another full ball outside off, and he is looking to drive but it squirts off a thick edge to the square third man boundary

Dwarshuis to David, no run, goes fuller and wider outside off, and David is looking to cut it but can't connect.

Dwarshuis to David, SIX, boom. Fetch that! David goes to a fantastic fifty with a powerhouse shot. One big stride forward and deposits this full ball from outside off way over wide long-on. Clean bat swing, superb connection and the ball's gone miles.

Dwarshuis to David, FOUR, thick outside edge goes for four. Keeps it wide of off on a fuller length, he threw his bat at it. Third man was in the circle, so there's no chance for the fielder. Flies off to the boundary

Norman Todd: "Interesting comments regarding new T20 rules, isn't the game new and evolving. The rules are surely not sacrosanct. 50 over games and tests are still subject to occasional change "

Dwarshuis to David, 1 wide, too far outside off again, another wide

Andy: "Hobart doing amazingly well to keep their foot on the gas despite losing regular wickets"

- I often think that's the way all teams should operate in T20 cricket, unless there is an exceptionally bad pitch or something.

Dwarshuis to Ellis, OUT, caught at deep midwicket Good bowling, he has seen the batsman is intent on clearing his leg, so he takes the pace off by bowling an offcutter and keeps it well clear of off stump. Makes him fetch the pull shot, which goes off the toe end of the bat and straight to the fielder

NT Ellis c Edwards b Dwarshuis 14 (5b 0x4 2x6) SR: 280.00

18.2
1w
Dwarshuis to Ellis, 1 wide, going wide outside off that time with the batsman giving himself room by clearing his front leg. The umpire thinks it's just over the tramline so that'll be a wide
18.1
6
Dwarshuis to Ellis, SIX, bang. Short ball outside off, he goes deep in his crease and unleashes a pull shot that makes a cracking sound as bat meets ball. All the way over deep midwicket

Rippersportspro: "What would happen if the Sixers reached 72 after their first 10 overs? Would a bonus point be awarded based on which team lost fewer wickets if the 10-over run totals are the same or would neither team get a bonus point?"

- They each get 0.5 points.

Christian to Ellis, 1 run, banged in short, he taps it into the legside
17.3

Christian to Ellis, SIX, just clears long-off. Quick on his feet that time, which helped the batsman. He gave himself room to counter Christian's line but did it at the last moment so the bowler couldn't adjust. Gets it in the slot and lofts the off-drive, not perfect timing but enough to carry over a jumping long-off
17.2

Christian to David, 1 run, full on the legs again, whenever he executes that ball he's been very tough to get away. And all he can do is flick to fine leg

John: "They don't call Jordan Silk the best fieldsman in the country for nothing, not the first, and certainly won't be the last time he does something like that."

Dwarshuis to Faulkner, OUT, caught at long-on. Cleared his front leg to have a good old thwack at it, made pretty decent connection but it's a long boundary there and it goes straight down the throat of the fielder stationed at the boundary. The ball was outside off and he had to fetch it, which meant the timing wasn't pristine
