- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.6 goes a mile up again, and taken this time! Full and darted into leg stump, forcing Brown to clear the long deep mid wicket boundary. Gets too much under it, getting the elevation and not the distance. Wright settles under it and completes the catch well inside the fence. Tim David is perhaps the most relieved cricketer at the Gabba right now! 35/114.2 David redeems himself! Fired in quick on a full length on off stump. Munro advances but perhaps get too close to the ball. Does not get the elevation he is after and arrows it to David, who gets into an awkward position (down on his knees before getting to the ball) but pouches it safely in the end! 101/49.4 big appeal, and given! McSweeney does not even bother with the review! Full and slanting into middle and leg. McSweeney falls across a touch and then fails to make contact with his flick. Gets pinned on the pads and the umpire raises his finger. That looked pretty adjacent, and perhaps the right call by McSweeney to not review! 72/211.5 zing bails everywhere! Searing yorker on leg stump that seems to beat Renshaw for pace more than anything else. He also seems to get caught too square trying to work it through mid wicket and cannot get his bat down in time. Flicks the pad and then smashes into the stumps! 89/316.2 Ellis has another! Full and hung a mile outside off. Billings throws the kitchen sink at it, trying to carve it over extra cover. The ball is too far away from him, though, and he loses control of his stroke. Spoons up off the outer half of the bat and Wright, running in from the deep cover point fence, makes no mistake, completing the catch with a dive forward! 110/519.6 a wicket to finish the innings! In the slot on middle and off, but Walter cannot get anything behind it. Been that sort of a day really for the Heat. Cloths it badly and hits it straight to David, who snaps up a smart, low catch to his right! 132/719.2 Neser bites the dust! Third catch for Wright tonight! Dug into the track outside off. Neser tries to smash it over cow corner but he is hitting to the longer side of the ground. Does not get it right out of the middle either and Wright picks up a simple catch at deep mid wicket! 129/6Extras11 (lb 3, w 8)TOTAL132/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.6)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Josh Brown, 5.6 ov), 2-72 (Nathan McSweeney, 9.4 ov), 3-89 (Matt Renshaw, 11.5 ov), 4-101 (Colin Munro, 14.2 ov), 5-110 (Sam Billings, 16.2 ov), 6-129 (Michael Neser, 19.2 ov), 7-132 (Paul Walter, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 Jewell falls in the first over! Length delivery hung outside off. Jewell advances again, looking to go inside out. Flashes hard at it but the ball flies off the outside edge towards third man. Brown seems to lose it in the lights for a brief moment but recovers in time to snare the chance! 5/18.4 McDermott bites the dust! Banged in short and that is perhaps a riposte to McDermott advancing. He has a wild hack at it and miscues it terribly. Neser settles himself at long on and does the rest. Walter is upbeat, McDermott not quite. Big moment in the game! 56/51.2 edged and gone! The Hurricanes are rocking! Back of a length delivery outside off that curves away late and draws a loose poke from Wright. No footwork and all he does is feather it through to Billings. Just the start the Brisbane Heat would have wanted! 7/21.3 gone first ball! It is all happening here at the Gabba! Back of a length in the channel. Threatens to shape in before decking away off the surface, squaring up Hain completely. Hangs out his bat and gets a healthy outside edge that is gobbled up by Renshaw at first slip! 7/33.3 Bartlett has three! Hard length on middle and off, and this one seems to just zip through. Anderson has a wild slog across the line and chops it onto his stumps. Not the greatest bit of shot-selection but Bartlett and the Heat do not care an iota. Fourth wicket in the powerplay, and they have turned this game around! 22/415.3 Chaudhary miscues, and Billings takes it! Another twist to this mad, mad game! Banged in short, and Chaudhary's eyes light up. He tries to smoke it over cow corner but because of Walter's height, the ball gets awfully big on him. Skews off the splice and Billings runs back to take the catch. What a knock this has been, but now, someone else will have to take the Hurricanes past the finish line! 113/814.3 skies it, and Johnson gets the big fish! Back of a length delivery angled across the batter outside off. David tries to smash it into next week but loses his shape. Hacks across it and the ball loops up to Walter at short third man. Johnson is pumped; David not best pleased with what transpired! 103/614.6 goes straight up, and Johnson has two in the over! Hard length outside off, and Jordan continues swinging like a rusty gate. No prizes for guessing that he miscues it and the ball pops up for Johnson to complete the simplest of return catches! 105/715.6 the Brisbane Heat win! Oh my word! Loopy full toss outside off and Ellis cannot strike it the way he wants. Drills it straight to the fielder at mid off and that is just a single. That ought to have been dumped into the stands, but instead, it was scuffed. Heartbreak for the Hurricanes; pure joy for the Heat! And to top it all off, they get Dooley run out at the batter's end as he tried to pinch a non-existent second run! 116/9Extras7 (lb 1, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL116/9 (16 Overs, RR: 7.25)Did not bat: RP MeredithFall of wickets: 1-5 (Caleb Jewell, 0.3 ov), 2-7 (Macalister Wright, 1.2 ov), 3-7 (Sam Hain, 1.3 ov), 4-22 (Corey Anderson, 3.3 ov), 5-56 (Ben McDermott, 8.4 ov), 6-103 (Tim David, 14.3 ov), 7-105 (Chris Jordan, 14.6 ov), 8-113 (Nikhil Chaudhary, 15.3 ov), 9-116 (Patrick Dooley, 15.6 ov)
