Melbourne Stars vs Brisbane Heat, 42nd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Lalor to Tom O Connell, FOUR, full toss, Tom O'Connell clears his front leg and smahes it straight down the ground. Over the umpire's head and the ball races away to the fence

Cutting to Dwayne Bravo, out Caught by Bryant!! Another slower ball, another mishit another wicket. Slower ball into the wicket, Bravo decides to back his power and clear long-off. Doesn't generate enough power and holes out at long-off. Simple catch for Bryant. Dwayne Bravo c Bryant b Cutting 17(21)

Lalor to Plunkett, out Caught by Cutting!! The off-pace ball does the trick. The slower ball hitting the deck on a length at 111.6kph, Plunkett looks to flog it over mid-wicket fetching it from off, but is early into the shot. Ends up mishitting it and Cutting takes an easy catch at long-on. Plunkett c Cutting b Lalor 4(5)

Swepson to Gulbis, out Lbw!! A loud shout for lbw and the umpire raises the dreaded finger. Gulbis isn't happy with the call, but he has to depart for a 2-ball duck. A flat leg-break and Gulbis missed the sweep to get hit on the front pad adjacent to the leg-stump. Was it straightening enough? Hitting leg, says HawkEye. Godd call! Gulbis lbw b Swepson 0(2)

Mujeeb to Maddinson, out Caught by Lalor!! First risky shot against Mujeeb and Maddinson perishes. The left-hander backed away to make room and looked to go over the covers. The fullish ball spun away a bit and hence Maddinson ended up slicing it off the outer half. Goes straight to Lalor at backward point. Maddinson c Lalor b Mujeeb 18(14) [4s-1 6s-1]

Doggett to Maddinson, SIX, just helped this ball on its way for a six. From round the wicket, Doggett bowls a length ball, but errs in line. Slanted down leg and Maddinson flicks it over fine leg with ease

Doggett to Maddinson, FOUR, skiddy short of length delivery marginally outside off, Maddinson hops and pokes at it. Not sure if he deliberately opened the bat-face. Catches the outside edge and runs away to the third man fence

Doggett to Handscomb, out Caught by Cutting!! Handscomb is caught at mid-off! With the mid-off fielder up in the circle, Handscomb decided to go over the inifled after coming down the track. Doggett saw that and shortened his length which resulted in Handscomb's miscue. Lobbed up in the air off the toe end and Cutting had to take a couple of steps back to gobble that up with ease. Second wicket for Doggett. Handscomb c Cutting b Doggett 6(10)

Doggett to Maxwell, out Caught by Mujeeb!! Maxwell has picked the man in the deep. It was banged in short and a shuffling Maxwell looked to help it on its way with a flick shot. Doesn't quite middle it and holes out at fine leg. A straightforward catch for Mujeeb. Maxwell c Mujeeb b Doggett 3(4)

Swepson to Ben Dunk, out Caught by Ross!! Rank long hop fetches Swepson a wicket. It was pounded half-way down the track, Dunk went back and pulled it in the air. Picks out the fielder at deep square leg, who didn't have to move an inch. Just when it looked like Dunk was cutting loose, he's been dismissed. Ben Dunk c Ross b Swepson 24(26) [6s-1]

Cutting to Stoinis, out Lbw!! Slower ball does the trick for Cutting. Stoinis didn't pick it, was rooted to the crease and gets defeated by the lack of pace. Pinned right in front of the stumps and it was plumb. But he's played an entertaining innings. Stoinis lbw b Cutting 43(29) [4s-4 6s-1]

Swepson to Stoinis, SIX, gift wrapped and sent to Stoinis. Swepson pitches it right in the slot, Stoinis gets under it and clubs it over cow corner

Renshaw to Ben Dunk, SIX, this six brings up Stars' fifty. Dunk breaks free, charges out and tonks it straight down the ground. Pings the sightscreen on the full

Lalor to Stoinis, FOUR, successive fours for Stoinis. This was autoritative. Pacy short ball, sits up superbly and Stoinis clobbers it powerfully past mid-wicket

Lalor to Stoinis, FOUR, off-paced delivery again from Lalor, Stoinis waits and waits before swatting it over mid-wicket. Two fielders give chase but the ball wins the race

Doggett to Stoinis, FOUR, that's an erratic delivery from Doggett. Doesn't learn and splays it down leg, easy pickings for Stoinis. Hoicks it past short fine leg

Lalor to Stoinis, FOUR, Stoinis takes the aerial route, not entirely in control as the bat face turns in his hands. Enough to clear mid-off and it races away to the fence
