8.48 pm Weak finish by Strikers. Broken record for them this season. Despite a very depleted batting lineup, Stars should be favorites to chase it down. Stay with us for the start of the reply shortly.

Haris Rauf to Conway, 1 run, OUT, goes for a full pace yorker but winds up as a knee high full toss flicked through square leg for an easy one, they come back for a non-existent second and the relay from Xavier Crone to the keeper is completed in plenty of time to deny the second.
HNA Conway run out 1 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
Hat-trick ball coming up. And Rashid will finish the innings off strike for the final three balls. Harry Conway to face the hat-trick ball. Another slower one?

Zampa to Nielsen, 2 runs, dropped! Charges a full ball on leg stump and flicks this high toward Haris Rauf at long-on. He covered 25 yards coming in and moving to his left. The man at cow corner may have disrupted his focus charging to the right and got in his eyeline as he reached forward in stride for the chance and shells this. He got to it in time, 6/10 difficulty especially for a long-on catching fielder in the death overs but spilled badly.

Zampa to Wells, OUT, flighted full on fifth stump, slog down the ground trying to clear long-on very straight but Webster rangers 15 yards to his left along the rope and gives a bunny hop reaching up to his left to intercept this. Denies a sure six and ends a solid innings from Wells.

17.2
3
Couch to Nielsen, 3 runs, full on the stumps, goes to heave over mid-on and a diving effort by the fielder charging to his right along the ring is in vain, tracked down for three.
Frustration mounting with Rashid Khan waiting to enter...
