8.47pm: Pretty turgid stuff from the visitors, who managed one partnership of note and only had two batters going at above a run a ball. Hilton Cartwright held things together with 57 off 47 but there was no kicking on until James Seymour finally decided to give it a whack at the death. Nathan Ellis was the pick of the attack, and you'd think Hurricanes will be happy at halfway. Join Miller again for the chase in 15

Meredith to Seymour, OUT, bowled behind his legs! Gets too cute this time, walking across his stumps, and Meredith hits the target. Still, without that 20 off 7 from Seymour, Stars really would be shooting low tonight

J Seymour b Meredith 20 (14m 7b 3x4 1x6) SR: 285.71

Meredith to Seymour, FOUR, lapped from wide of off, gets it through backward square leg! Lovely timing and placement, fourth boundary in six balls from Seymour
19.4
1
Meredith to Hinchliffe, 1 run, 139kph full toss, must be tight on the no-ball... Hinchcliffe miscues it back towards the bowler and they charge through for one. Okay on height, according to the umps

Meredith to Hinchliffe, no run, fifth-stump yorker, 142kph, gets it under the bat
19.2
1
Meredith to Seymour, 1 run, slower ball wide of off, gets some bat on it and they hustle through

"Difficult pitch to score on, really good bowling, or just lack of intent from the Stars? Seems a pretty average bowling line up..." Combination of all three, I think, JP. But will hold judgement on the pitch until Hurricanes bat

Meredith to Seymour, FOUR, wide full toss, steered to the rope! Seymour continues with his useful cameo, just dropped the railway sleeper on it and scoots the ball into the gap at backward point

Meredith will close out

Brilliant stuff from Ellis, who finishes with 2 for 12

Ellis to Hinchliffe, no run, slower ball in the channel, Hinchcliffe is hoodwinked and can't lay bat on it
18.5
1
Ellis to Seymour, 1 run, length on the stumps, Seymour swipes across it... hit on the front pad and Ellis goes up. Think that pitched outside leg
18.4
1
Ellis to Hinchliffe, 1 run, full outside off, 135kph going across the lefty, pushed for one

Clint Hinchcliffe walks in

18.3
W
Ellis to Coulter-Nile, OUT, full outside off, skewed to short third! Ellis gets two in three balls, takes pace off wide of the stumps and NCN tries to hit the cover off it, only succeeds in lobbing a gentle catch to Ashraf on the edge of the ring

NM Coulter-Nile c Faheem Ashraf b Ellis 0 (3m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

18.2

Ellis to Coulter-Nile, no run, bouncer, 133kph and right at the big man's pineapple... Coulter-Nile has to flinch out of the way

NCN is in to give some long handle

18.1
W
Ellis to Larkin, OUT, short of a length, cut to backward point! Stars stutter again, Larkin looking to use the pace on the ball but couldn't have picked out the man any better. Well held at head height by Jewell

NCR Larkin c Jewell b Ellis 9 (23m 11b 0x4 0x6) SR: 81.81

Ellis to bowl the 19th

Faheem Ashraf to Seymour, FOUR, gets the ramp out, four more! What a blistering start from Seymour. Full on the stumps and he realises fine leg is up, dinks it to the rope
17.5
6
Faheem Ashraf to Seymour, SIX, walloped over midwicket! That's more like it for Stars... slower ball angled across, Seymour picks it and deposits a big hit beyond the boundary rider. First six of the night, in the 18th over

James Seymour is in at No. 6

17.4
W
Faheem Ashraf to Cartwright, OUT, dug in, top-edged - Cartwright is toast! Battling innings from the Stars man but he won't be seeing it through to the end. Just back of a length, not quite there to pull and the catch was a simple one for McDermott jogging up from behind the stumps

HWR Cartwright c †McDermott b Faheem Ashraf 57 (68m 47b 8x4 0x6) SR: 121.27

Weather has cleared up, by the way. Still some ominous clouds around the Bellerive Oval, but fingers crossed no interruptions
