7:35pm That innings ebbed and flowed quite a bit. The Hurricanes began in sprightly fashion, scoring 34 runs in the powerplay without losing a wicket. Once the field restrictions were lifted, though, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Between overs 12-15, they lost four wickets, which included two runs-outs - that of David and Wade, which led to them losing their way. Paris and Faheem struck a few lusty blows towards the end, meaning that they now have something to defend.

The Renegades, meanwhile, would be thrilled with how they pulled things back, even if they would be slightly unhappy with the concession of runs towards the end. Their pacers used the conditions on offer, bowled hard lengths and did not allow the batters to get into a rhythm. At the half-way mark, they would be content with what they are chasing, although they will have to bat well to chase down this total. Do join us in a bit for the run-chase!

Rogers to Ellis, 1 run, yorker on leg stump. Ellis digs it out towards long on and has to be content with just a single because he slipped while turning for the second run
19.5
1
Rogers to Paris, 1 run, off-pace delivery on a back of a length just outside off stump. Paris has a swish at it and this time, the outside edge lands in front of the keeper. Gets a single for his efforts, though

Two balls left now, how many more can the Hurricanes get?

Richardson to Ellis, no run, excellent yorker just outside off stump. Ellis can't get his bat down in time and should consider himself lucky that the ball did not kiss the outside of off stump

1
Richardson to Paris, 1 run, back of a length delivery outside off stump. Paris gets up on his toes and punches it towards extra cover for a single

Two overs left in the innings. Can the Hurricanes somehow get up to 160?

17.3
W
Rogers to Faheem Ashraf, OUT, gone this time! Low full toss outside off stump, and Faheem looks to repeat the dose. This delivery, though, is just low enough for him to not get under it completely. He hits it flat but straight to long on, where the fielder gobbles up the chance!

Paris in at 9

16.1
W
Richardson to Parker, OUT, in the air, and taken superbly by Richardson! Back of a length delivery on middle and off stump that holds in the surface again, Parker has a swipe across the line but gets no timing at all. The ball lobs up and Richardson runs forward before taking a brilliant diving catch!

W Parker c & b Richardson 1 (5m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Last over of the Power Surge. Can the Hurricanes capitalize? They will have to do so against Richardson, though, which will not be easy
