END OF OVER:

8:48pm 82 runs off the last seven overs, and that has propelled the Renegades to 147. In isolation, this might not seem a huge score, but even this looked unattainable when they had crawled to 65-3 after 13 overs. Cox and Wells then took matters into their own hands during the Power Surge and kept at it, eventually getting the Renegades up to 147.

The Hurricanes will not be very pleased with how they finished their innings. They bowled too many boundary balls and were duly punished. Dooley was the pick of the bowlers, giving away just 16 runs in four overs. David's only over was also a wicket-maiden. The seamers, though, took a bit of tap, meaning that the Hurricanes now have a tricky chase on their hands.

There is still enough in it for the bowlers, and when the ball is hammered into the track, it is behaving sluggishly. Do the Renegades have enough? Or will the Hurricanes make it two out of two? Join is in a bit to find out!

Jordan to Wells, 2 runs, into the blockhole outside off. Wells sits deep in his crease and digs it out towards long on for a couple of runs
19.5

Jordan to Wells, FOUR, gets the boundary he wants! Short, wide and punished. Too much width and that enables Wells to throw his hands at it and flay it over backward point!
19.4
0
Jordan to Wells, no run, off-pace and into the track outside off. Comes off very slow and Wells is too early into his lap stroke. Makes no contact whatsoever

Jordan to Sutherland, 2 runs, full toss on middle and leg. Sutherland clears his front leg and mows it towards deep mid wicket for a couple of runs

Jordan to Sutherland, 1 no ball, ouch, that will hurt! Full toss on middle and leg stump. Sutherland swings and misses, and gets hit in an area where it usually hurts. Oh, hang on...the umpires have asked for a review to check whether this is a No ball on height. Seems touch-and-go. Sutherland was standing very deep in his crease. The third umpire has multiple looks at it and concludes it is a No ball. The right call, at least in my book, and Sutherland now has a Free hit!

Jordan to Wells, 1 run, low full toss on off stump. Wells advances and drills it down the ground to long on

Jordan to bowl the final over. Can he keep the Renegades down to under 150? Or can the Renegades get past that mark?

Meredith to Cox, OUT, Meredith gets the big fish! Hard length on middle and leg, and this seems to rush onto Cox. He makes room to go over mid on but the extra pace means that he cloths it. Jordan takes a couple of steps back and completes a regulation catch!

JM Cox c Jordan b Meredith 47 (38m 36b 3x4 3x6) SR: 130.55

140 very much within grasp now. How high can the Renegades go? Can they get to 150-160?

Jordan to Cox, SIX, almost hits the roof, and then just clears deep mid wicket! Slower delivery into the track outside off. Looks like a leg-cutter that Cox picks early enough. Swipes across the line and the ball almost kisses the roof. Importantly, when it comes down, it lands over the fence!
16.4

Jordan to Cox, 2 runs, full just outside off. Cox drills it back past the bowler and canters back for two as long off mops it up

Jordan to Cox, no run, another cutter, on a back of a length outside off. Cox loses his shape and swings wildly. Misses the ball by a mile
