8.45pm That's Siddle's best figures in T20 cricket: 5 for 16. The Hurricanes recovered well from where they were after four overs, thanks to McDermott, Ingram and David, but the Strikers are favourites to win this with four points. We also saw the first two X-factor substitutes in BBL history.

Siddle wasn't the only star with the ball. Worrall went for under six. Agar showed some good skills. Rashid was expensive-ish, but nothing that would disappoint him too much. We'll be back with the chase very soon.

Kapil Baldawa: "Hobart have shown today, how not to use Power surge. The rule in itself isn't great but when they had a rampaging partnership in McDermott and Ingram, that was the time to take it and maximize but they chose a very wrong time, at death, when they already have the license to go for it. Really poor use of resources and rules, first to do away with a bowler and pick someone as mediocre as Wright for an experienced Botha and then, not choosing to take Surge when two set batsmen were on"

Siddle to Meredith, OUT, over the wicket, yorker length, and that's cleaned up middle stump! Siddle takes five and Hurricanes are all out for 146

RP Meredith b Siddle 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Jared Murton: ""Nineteen off the first Power Surge over"... um, no, it was only 12 lol" -- oops, fixed!

19.2
W
Siddle to David, OUT, that's four for Siddle! Slower, short ball on leg. David wants to swat it over the infield, but instead chops it onto his stumps. Siddle came around the wicket for this

TH David b Siddle 24 (15b 3x4 1x6) SR: 160.00

Siddle to Boland, 1 run, gives David the strike. Full on leg, and tapped to point

Six balls to go.. Boland will need to get David on strike as soon as he can. Siddle will bowl. Power Surge still on

Agar to David, FOUR, good length, wide outside off. He stands tall and drags this pull from outside the stumps, and finds the gap at deep midwicket. Twelve off the 19th

Agar to David, 1 wide, has to rebowl that. Very short, very wide, and soaring over David's head despite him not ducking
18.5

Agar to David, FOUR, hammered to deep midwicket. In the slot, and clobbered over the fielder at midwicket

Anudeep: "It was foolish on Faulkner's part to go for it when you had power surge in the bank. He was the only reasonable batsman left and being the experienced one expected more from him."

Agar to David, no run, low full toss outside off, and slapped to cover. Can't beat the infield though
18.3
W
Agar to David, 1 run, OUT, direct hit from the deep! Ellis might be short. This was a good length ball outside off, and he dragged it to deep midwicket. David calls for the two, but the throw the boundary hits the stumps at the bowler's end on the bounce. Ellis was quite far out, but atleast got David back on strike

NT Ellis run out 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Agar to Ellis, no run, slower ball, good length and wide outside off. Ellis backed away and swung his bat. Bat and ball nowhere close

The last two overs will have Powerplay field restrictions. Time for the Power Surge

Siddle to Faulkner, OUT, good length, outside off. He drags a pull that goes in the air, and deep midwicket takes a simple catch

Siddle to Faulkner, no run, good length, outside off. Opens the bat's face and taps it to point

So the BBL saw the first ever X-factor substitutes happen today. ICYMI, this piece has the full details.

Siddle to Faulkner, no run, full outside off stump, bit of movement away. Plays and misses

Confusion. The fielding side thought it was the Power Surge this over. But the batting side never took it. The umpires didn't call it either. Now everyone's on the same page.

17.1
W
Siddle to Wright, OUT, soft! Slower ball on leg stump, and he wants to flick leg side. Ball goes under his bat, hits the front leg, and then ricochets onto leg stump

M Wright b Siddle 15 (14b 1x4 0x6) SR: 107.14

When will the Hurricanes take the Power surge? Two overs with Powerplay rules still in play. Only three overs to go. If they don't take it this over, they must next two overs
