- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.5 sliced to point! And that's his 50th T20 wicket. Length ball on leg after he saw Wade backing away, and the cut shot has popped into the air for an easy dismissal 25/114.1 straight to cover! Length ball outside off, and he looks to cut square. Struck very well, but straight to Cutting near the circle. Short looks devastated. End of a tidy innings, but Hurricanes really needed him to bat through 115/45.4 bowled him! Full outside off, and the wrong'un slides through Doolan's attempt at an expansive cover drive. Mujeeb is pumped 42/212.3 back of a length outside leg stump, and he sweeps this to short fine leg. Lalor picks the ball up, has a shy at the keeper's stumps... and that's a run out! Lalor's left-handed throw landed just over the stumps, and McDermott hasn't yet reached the other end 101/316.5 sliced to wide long on! Length ball again, and this time the swipe towards the leg side has come off the bat's open face. In the air for ages, and the fielder comfortably completes the dismissal 136/518.1 Full outside off stump, and Faulkner swings across the line. Nice sound off the bat, but the square-boundary is pretty wide. Cutting gets under it near the boundary and takes a solid sliding catch near the ropes to send the man back 145/6Extras12 (lb 1, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL159/6 (19 Overs, RR: 8.36)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Matthew Wade, 3.5 ov), 2-42 (Alex Doolan, 5.4 ov), 3-101 (Ben McDermott, 12.3 ov), 4-115 (D'Arcy Short, 14.1 ov), 5-136 (George Bailey, 16.5 ov), 6-145 (James Faulkner, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.1 full just outside off stump, and pushed to cover with soft hands. Bryant's off for the single, but McCullum hasn't moved at all. Both batsmen are at the batting crease, and so Rose whips the bails off at his end. Bryant thinks he's out, but it's McCullum who's walking back. But the umpire will decide whose out. And he says McCullum 9/14.3 what a screamer! Length ball outside leg stump, and he tries to paddle sweep fine. Hit well, but the fielder - at short fine leg - goes airborne towards his right, and the ball stays in his hand! A super innings comes to a close 42/213.2 screamer at long on! Lynn goes and Hurricanes will feel they're ahead now. Length ball outside off stump, and he muscles a flat-batted pull down the ground. But a sliding catch from Doolan has brought Lynn's really slow innings to an end 93/56.3 full on off, and he looks to clear midwicket. Takes a big stride forward, swings the bat across the line, but he top-edges the shot right to long on. Doolan gets under it from long on, and comfortably takes the catch to send Joe Burns back 54/37.5 clips middle stump! Almost unplayable from Meredith. Length ball on off, and nipped inwards after hitting the deck. Heazlett tries to drive towards the leg side, but the ball beats his inside-edge and takes the top of the stumps 56/417.3 holes out! Almost a yorker on middle, and Cutting looks to clear long off. But he check-drives this shot, and the easiest of catches for the former Hurricanes captain Bailey 137/716.4 bowled 'im! A sedate celebration from Meredith. Full on middle and leg, and the ball hits Pierson's pads before ricocheting onto the stumps 133/617.4 back of a length outside off, and Steketee backs away to try and cut this over point. Slices the shot, and that's soaring into third-man's hands! Is that the final blow? Archer on a hat-trick too. 137/818.4 full just outside off stump, and he toe-ends a slog. In the air for ages, and long on takes the catch! Hobart Hurricanes win by 15 runs 144/1018.2 length ball outside off stump, and he goes onto the back foot to pull over long on. Off the bat's top half and that's going straight down long-on's throat 143/9Extras7 (w 7)TOTAL144 all out (18.4 Overs, RR: 7.71)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Brendon McCullum, 1.1 ov), 2-42 (Max Bryant, 4.3 ov), 3-54 (Joe Burns, 6.3 ov), 4-56 (Sam Heazlett, 7.5 ov), 5-93 (Chris Lynn, 13.2 ov), 6-133 (Jimmy Peirson, 16.4 ov), 7-137 (Ben Cutting, 17.3 ov), 8-137 (Mark Steketee, 17.4 ov), 9-143 (Mitchell Swepson, 18.2 ov), 10-144 (Josh Lalor, 18.4 ov)
