Adelaide Strikers win by 10 runs and move into second in the table. A very good all-round display, led by Travis Head with the bat, and they survived David Miller's belated arrival at the tournament. The Strikers weren't perfect with the ball, but Siddle's experience at the death was again vital. He's become a go-to T20 bowler. That's all-but the end of the Hurricanes' season, overall their batting just hasn't been able to put things together this season.
There's loads more cricket to come today. The next BBL match starts shortly at the Gabba (AB de Villiers and all) while there's the deciding ODI between India and Australia in Bangalore. I'll say goodbye for now, enjoy the rest of the action and I'll catch you for more BBL during the week.

Siddle to Miller, 2 runs, oh, that's brilliant from Siddle, gets the yorker and all he can do is jab it square through point

Siddle to Miller, no run, he misses! Full outside leg, Siddle shows his experience, Miller ends up falling over as this goes between his legs
So it's 21 needed off the last over. Steep, but...
