END OF OVER:
20 | 6 Runs 2 Wkts | SS: 144/9 | RR: 7.20

  • Joel Paris4-0-26-1

8.10pm That's 95 runs added in the last ten overs, which means the Sixers bowlers need to defend 144. Its not a winning score, but it would allow their bowlers to bowl at some sort of total. Remember they were 49/5 after ten overs. Considering this is the first game for the Hurricanes, you can expect a bit of nerves early on from their batters. The Sixers bowlers themselves are on a high after bowling Melbourne Stars out for 61 in the season opener.

Sixers have their experienced talisman Henriques to thank for the total though. Started off slow as he saw wickets tumbling around him. Then got into a crucial stand with Curran for the sixth wicket. And then the late assault as he approached his fifty. The chase should be fun

Rose: "This is a proper Buttler vs. Sri Lanka WC knock from Henriques - class from him"

Ellis to Jordan, 1 run, OUT, Sixers finish on 144 for 9 as Jordan is run out trying to prise out a second run. Struck to long on, and Jordan had decided he would take two. But the throw from the deep is top class, and in fact, its a direct hit!

CJ Jordan run out 9 (13m 6b 1x4 0x6) SR: 150.00

19.5
1
Ellis to Manenti, 1 run, full delivery on his toes, and worked off his boots to the leg side for a single
19.4
W
Ellis to Henriques, OUT, an innings to remember from Henriques. An aggressive 76 the other day but a very composed 73 today. Length ball, outside off, and he drags this aggressive shot down to long on where Cox has been excellent all evening

MC Henriques c Cox b Ellis 73 (65m 48b 6x4 2x6) SR: 152.08

19.3
1b
Ellis to Jordan, 1 bye, slower ball outside off. Jordan throws his bat at it, but the ball sneaks under the bat. They call for a bye even before the ball reached Wade. Smart cricket!
19.2
1lb
Ellis to Henriques, 1 leg bye, cat and mouse stuff. Slower ball, on a good length. Henriques tries to play a lap shot over short fine leg but it hits his pad and rolls away. They take a leg bye
19.1
2
Ellis to Henriques, 2 runs, in the blockhole, but dug away past the non-striker down the ground. Henriques calls for two before Cox can collect and throw it back

Sixers at 139. Can they get another 11 and breach 150?

1
Paris to Henriques, 1 run, full on middle and off. Muscled to the leg side for a single
18.5
4
Paris to Henriques, FOUR, fortuitous! Full toss, and Henriques ends up getting a spliced shot over short third man even though that wasn't the intention. Looked to clear the deep midwicket boundary, but will happily take the four
18.4
2
Paris to Henriques, 2 runs, full ball, and he strikes a front-foot drive past Ellis. Protection in the deep, but there's enough time to return for the second run
18.3
1
Paris to Jordan, 1 run, full ball, this time outside off, and he gets some bat to wedge a shot to the off side
18.2
2
Paris to Jordan, 2 runs, yorker attempted, and he tucks it off his toes towards the gap at midwicket. Calls early for the two, and they both scurry across rather comfortably in the end
18.1
4
Paris to Jordan, FOUR, perfect way to start the over Powerfully struck through cover point! This was in the slot, and a bit wide too, allowing Jordan to flex his muscles

Last two overs. Sixers on course for 143 according to ESPNcricinfo's Forecaster - it will be a score they will take from their position not so long ago.

1
Rogers to Jordan, 1 run, worked off his body to the leg side for a single
17.5
W
Rogers to Kerr, OUT, that's his third! Drags a slog off a length ball right onto his stumps. Pays the price for trying to play across the line by moving to the off side

H Kerr b Rogers 2 (10m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

17.4
1
Rogers to Henriques, 1 run, yorker attempted, and very nearly takes his toes out. Wedged away for one
17.3
4
Rogers to Henriques, FOUR, beautiful from Henriques. He's been delightful through the cover region all evening. Length ball, and he stands tall to punish it in front of square on the off side
17.2
1
Rogers to Kerr, 1 run, full and wide. Looks to hit it over cover point but doesn't have the perfect connection. Goes to backward point instead
17.1
1
Rogers to Henriques, 1 run, length ball outside off. Tries to muscle a shot away, but takes the bottom edge past his body to the leg side

15 off the Ellis over

1
Ellis to Henriques, 1 run, searches for the yorker, but ends up as a full toss. Worked off his pads to the leg side for one
16.5
6
Ellis to Henriques, SIX, not full enough. not short enough. Henriques uses his long levers to get under the ball and smoke it over long on!
16.4
4
Ellis to Henriques, FOUR, that's fifty - this innings has oozed class considering the position Henriques found himself in early on. Shortish, with some width on offer, and Henriques clobbers over the infielder at cover
16.3
2
Ellis to Henriques, 2 runs, length ball, wider outside off. Henriques tries to thump it over the bowler but miscued. Enough power to clear mid off though.
16.2
1
Ellis to Kerr, 1 run, pushes this length ball towards cover off the back foot to get off the mark
