7.34pm Heat manage to go past a hundred, when at one stage that seemed like a far-fetched total. Abbott led the show for Sixers with 4 for 31 - there were two wickets each for Dwarshius and Kerr too - as there was hardly a phase of play when Heat didn't lose a wicket. It is not a great pitch to bat on, but then 106 shouldn't be very difficult for a side placed second on the table. Join us for the chase in ten.

Christian to Steketee, 1 run, OUT, run-out at the bowler's end! A low full-toss on off, and Steketee pushes that to long-on early after going low. The throw arrived rapidly to Christian amid what seemed like a late a decision by the batters to run two, as the bowler stood right behind to collect the throw, before whipping off the bails with the new man Mujeeb way short

Mujeeb Ur Rahman run out 0 (2m 0b 0x4 0x6) SR: -

Christian returns from over the wicket

Abbott to Wildermuth, OUT, crashes into his stumps! Wildermuth's day with the bat is done. The ball keeps a touch low from a good length on middle and off, and while he trusted there would be some bounce, he went for the pull while playing across the line. But first, the ball wasn't all that short, and then, it didn't bounce a great deal. Bang into middle and off

JD Wildermuth b Abbott 27 (36m 26b 1x4 0x6) SR: 103.84

Abbott to Wildermuth, 2 runs, very full ball on off, and angling in. It was almost a yorker, which he whipped to deep midwicket's right, who gave a quick chase to that
18.4
2
Abbott to Wildermuth, 2 runs, sent veryyy high, and that lands between the deep midwicket fielder running forward and the bowler running back. A short of a length ball outside off, and he went for the pull, but ended up mistiming it
18.3
1
Abbott to Steketee, 1 run, fuller still on middle and off, and he goes deep in the crease to flick that to deep square leg
18.2
4
Abbott to Steketee, FOUR, crunched over the bowler's head! That made a pleasing sound off the bat. A full delivery right in the slot outside off, as he got his front leg out of the way to slam that back down the ground for four

1
Abbott to Wildermuth, 1 run, short of long-on! A shortish ball outside off, and pulled rather powerfully, as the fielder comes in to take it on the bounce

Abbott back. Over the wicket

Dwarshuis to Steketee, 2 runs, short of a length ball outside off, and pulled toward square leg rather late. There was some scampering there, as Steketee had to dive back for the second run
17.5

Dwarshuis to Steketee, no run, past the outside edge now! Another back of a length ball outside off, which goes on with the arm. He presented the full face of the bat there, but the ball went past it
17.4
0
Dwarshuis to Steketee, no run, slower ball, and beaten. On a good length and in the channel outside off, as it was released like a legcutter. The ball sneaks between bat and pad as he tried to jam at that
17.3
1
Dwarshuis to Wildermuth, 1 run, short of a length just outside off, and he takes a slight step back to tap that to point
17.2
1
Dwarshuis to Steketee, 1 run, fuller ball on off, and angling into him. He whips that away with the movement to the man at short fine leg after going back in the crease
17.1
1
Dwarshuis to Wildermuth, 1 run, short ball and just outside off. He goes for the cut, but under-edges it to the man at point

A bit of distraction near the sightscreen, with some kids hanging around there. So there is a delay.

Dwarshius replaces Shadab. Around the wicket.

1
Kerr to Steketee, 1 run, another good length ball, and just outside off. He slightly opens the bat face at the last moment to guide that to deep point

John: "I know theirs been a lot of debate about whens the best time to take the power surge but I don't see any positive reasons for heat to take it then. Maybe the 14th over at the earliest if both batters had faced a few balls. You just knew that Bryant would do that"

16.4
0
Kerr to Steketee, no run, starts with a slower ball to the new batter. On a back of a length just outside off, and pushed to the man at cover

Steketee the new man in. Kerr from around the stumps.
