- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.3 caught behind! Slower ball gets him! Very full and wide, Wade took a big swipe at it trying to drive and succeeded in only getting a thick edge to Lenton. Wade is frustrated. Sams strikes 99/20.3 Bowled him! Beautiful delivery! This turned just enough. This drifted in through the air, pitched on off, nothing had turned so Short played for the ball to drift on after pitching but it just gripped and beat the outside edge to hit the top of off. 2/116.5 caught behind! Sams is changing the game! This was an on speed cross seamer wide of off, Wright tries to drive on the up but is undone by some extra bounce, gets a thin edge through to Lenton. 143/512.5 Hales takes a stunning catch at long on! Remarkable. They are checking upstairs. Hales is unsure. Miller lofted to long on, Hales right on the rope jumped up and took the catch, he overbalanced and tossed it up as he fell over the rope, he dives back in play and takes the catch just before it hits the ground! Staggering catch. No doubt on the replay. 111/316.2 Bowled him! Very skilful slower ball. 106kph, off spinner, really dropped on McDermott as he tried to launch wide of long on, it gripped and nipped and hit the top of off 140/419.1 Brilliant catch at mid off by Morris Slower ball again from Sams, mid off was up tried to loft straight but miscued, Morris ran to his right and took an excellent diving catch on the circle 177/6Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL185/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.25)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (D'Arcy Short, 0.3 ov), 2-99 (Matthew Wade, 10.3 ov), 3-111 (David Miller, 12.5 ov), 4-140 (Ben McDermott, 16.2 ov), 5-143 (Macalister Wright, 16.5 ov), 6-177 (George Bailey, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.6 caught at deep backward square! Boland standing right on the rope. Full and angled into the pads and he flicked it beautifully off the middle of the bat but straight to the man in the deep and Boland held his nerve and the catch well on the rope 20/112.2 caught at short third man! Undone by a great wrong un. He wanted to target Short with the spin over long on, it was the wrong un and he didn't pick, he got a top edge trying to slog sweep and it floated to Boland who runs forward to take the catch 100/37.2 caught at mid off! Faulkner backpedaling at mid off. Another length ball wider of off, he tries to loft over mid off but miscues, Faulkner backs up from the circle and takes a pretty good catch despite making it look awkward 66/216.1 caught at deep forward square! A short ball, he was back and needed to clear the rope but didn't get enough of it with the pull shot, Miller is 5 metres from the rope and he takes the catch easily 121/712.6 Given LBW! Didn't pick the wrong un again! This was very full pitching on leg, he wiped across the line, was hit on the front pad, it wasn't spinning too much. Would have likely crashed into off. 102/414.2 caught at deep midwicket! Good catch by Wright! He tried to slog sweep targeting the short boundary, he miscued off the toe of the bat, Wright charged in and took an excellent catch diving forward 106/515.3 top edge caught by Bailey at deep backward square! Another short ball, he tried to pull and got a top edge that went miles into the night sky but not far enough, Bailey camped under it and took the catch really easily. The crowd went nuts 110/616.4 caught at deep forward square! Short has five! This was fuller, Nair tries to slog sweep and miscues completely, Miller runs in 20 metres and takes the catch well 125/817.2 Bowled him! 137kph, yorker hits the base of middle! He backs away and Ellis fires full and straight and it's way too quick. Middle is rocked back. 128/917.3 Mac Wright with a direct hit! The Hurricanes win. A yorker, he drives to mid off and runs, Wright has time to steady and fire and hit at the non-striker's and he's well short 128/10Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL128 all out (17.3 Overs, RR: 7.31)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Usman Khawaja, 2.6 ov), 2-66 (Callum Ferguson, 7.2 ov), 3-100 (Alex Hales, 12.2 ov), 4-102 (Chris Morris, 12.6 ov), 5-106 (Jay Lenton, 14.2 ov), 6-110 (Daniel Sams, 15.3 ov), 7-121 (Alex Ross, 16.1 ov), 8-125 (Arjun Nair, 16.4 ov), 9-128 (Gurinder Sandhu, 17.2 ov), 10-128 (Liam Bowe, 17.3 ov)
