That's all from ESPNcricinfo's coverage of today's action. See you all on Boxing Day for more Big Bash Cricket plus a few more Test matches!
7.05pm And that victory has given Hobart Hurricanes a big push on the points table. They have breached the top four. And what a lovely Christmas eve for the home fans at the Bellerive Oval. Hurricanes rode on the pace bowlers today to close the game out. Rogers and Meredith took three each. Ellis mixed things up and was rewarded with two wickets too. Don't forget McDermott's 67 and Wade's cameo up top in the first innings. Joe Clarke's maiden fifty, though, ends up as a mere footnote.
joshua: "@Dimkesh, bit harsh on Cartwright, he is a good striker, just not quite as good as peak Russel"
Dimkesh: "@Purv can't expect Russell to fire every day. What worries me is that Melbourne have no contingency plans, i.e. no batsmen after Russell who can fuel the innings, in case Russell fails like he did today."

Rogers to Couch, no run, full outside off stump. Angling across as he tries to drive. Misses. Hobart Hurricanes collect 4 points with a 24-run victory

Rogers to Hinchliffe, OUT, keeper and bowler collide! But the catch has been completed. Who has it in his hand though? Fullish on middle and leg. Tries to smack it over the leg side but the ball goes in the air. Rogers and Wade run towards midwicket to take the catch, and replays show its the bowler who took it. Rogers was taking no chances after the drop in the last ball

Rogers to Hinchliffe, 1 run, dropped! An easy catch put down. Rogers has been unlucky today. Full on middle, and that was smacked in the air for long on to gobble up. But its been put down. Did the fielder get a big casual?

Rogers to Cartwright, OUT, full outside off stump. Goes deep in his crease to hit a golf swing over long on but mistimed. Easy catch for long on running in.
