Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Renegades, 52nd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Gurney to McDermott, SIX, what a riposte from McDermott! If we had any doubt about his recovery off the previous ball, this should settle it. Slower short ball, waits for it and rams the heave over deep mid-wicket. Crunched!

Gurney to Clive Rose, no ball, FOUR, erratic from Gurney! Gifting a boundary is bad anyway and to make it worse, it's a no ball too. High full toss and Rose was already across the sticks, helps it over backward square leg. One bounce to the fence

Christian to Jofra Archer, out Caught by Sam Harper!! Bizarre dismissal! Was a rubbish ball from Christian, slower ball down the leg-side and was there for the taking. Archer however, couldn't play the leg glance well enough and got a faint tickle that was pouched low by Sam Harper. He was excited straightaway and the Renegades were confident about it but the umpires wanted to refer it. Not sure why because the soft signal was OUT and there was never any doubt about the catch there. Archer walks off even before it shows up on the big screen. Jofra Archer c Sam Harper b Christian 3(3)

Gurney to Milenko, out Caught by K Richardson!! Hit hard, hit in the air but finds the fielder! Was on a good length and Milenko went for the pick up slog. Initially seemed like he hit it well but eventually, there was more height than elevation on the shot. Richardson at deep backward square leg is all calm while pouching it. Has a laugh to the home crowd behind him. Valuable cameo from Milenko. Milenko c K Richardson b Gurney 27(14) [4s-3 6s-1]

K Richardson to Milenko, FOUR, 20 off the over! Milenko has gone berserk and the Hurricanes are right back on top now. Low full toss and he's picked the bones out of this one. Blasts it through extra cover and although the sweeper cover fielder didn't have much ground to cover, he just couldn't reach it. Such power! Wooosh!

K Richardson to Milenko, FOUR, mishit but once again, wrong lines from Richardson and he gets punished! Milenko charged down the track and got width to free his arms. Off the slice this time and over the backward point fielder

K Richardson to Milenko, FOUR, runs bleeding in this over and the Hurricanes are geting momentum back. Very full and wide, not the right line with no protection behind square on the off-side. Milenko slices it past backward point and fetches a boundary

K Richardson to Milenko, SIX, brute force from Milenko! Fuller and wider outside off, he just gets under it and carves this over the leaping sweeper cover fielder for a flat maximum. Short boundary there and worth the risk from Milenko

Gurney to Bailey, out Caught by Finch!! Important strike for the Renegades. With not much experience in the lower middle order, Bailey was a key man and he falls early tonight. Slower ball once again from Gurney, deceives Bailey who was making room for the inside out lofted drive. Too full for the stroke and he lobs it high to extra cover where the Renegades captain does the rest. Bailey c Finch b Gurney 9(11)

Christian to McDermott, FOUR, smart batting! Short third man and backward point are in place with no protection behind square on the off-side and Christian doled it out short and wide. McDermott just stood tall and jabbed with an open face, past those two fielders in the ring

Christian to McDermott, FOUR, that will relieve some pressure off the Hurricanes, short of a length and on McDermott's hips, used the pace on the ball and clipped it behind square on the on-side for a boundary

Nabi to Caleb Jewell, out Caught by Tremain!! Deserving wicket for Nabi, he's been on the ball and gets a wicket to show for his effort. Tossed up slower and wider of off, had Jewell who was already backing away - reach out for the drive, only manages a thick top-edge and Tremain completes the catch, as the ball lobbed towards backward point. Caleb Jewell c Tremain b Nabi 4(6)

K Richardson to D Arcy Short, out Caught by Tremain!! Back to back wickets and all of a sudden - the Hurricanes have lost both openers. A filthy wide full-toss, Short could have placed it anywhere - instead, he plays with an open face and slices it straight into the bucket hands of Tremain at backward point. D Arcy Short c Tremain b K Richardson 28(23) [4s-3 6s-1]

K Richardson to Wade, out Caught by Tom Cooper!! Cooper holds on and Wade has been dismissed after a fine knock. Change of pace and Wade didn't spot it, went for the slog and ended up dragging it over mid-wicket. Cooper set himself for the catch at deep mid-wicket, the ball dropped alamingly on him, he took his eyes off, but managed to hold on. Wade c Tom Cooper b K Richardson 58(30) [4s-6 6s-4]

K Richardson to Wade, FOUR, over backward point and into the fence, Richardson pre-empted the charge and went full and wide of off, Wade reached out for the ball and spooned it over backward point - no one in the deep and the ball runs away to the fence

Boyce to Wade, SIX, that's huge, tossed up around off, was an attempted wrong 'un, Wade bends down low, gets close to the ball and sweeps it high and over mid-wicket for a maximum

Christian to Wade, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Wade, yorker length delivery outside off, Wade waits on it, opens the face of the bat at the last moment and then steers it behind square on the off-side for a boundary

Christian to Wade, FOUR, that has been drilled, overpitched and well outside off, Wade leans forward and drills it through extra-cover, wide of the man at long-off who had no chance

Nabi to Wade, SIX, easy pickings for Wade, low full-toss outside leg, Wade went down on his knee and swept it high and behind square on the on-side for a maximum

Gurney to Wade, FOUR, smashed, length ball on off, Wade gets forward and thumps it over the bowler's head, one bounce and over the fence

Gurney to D Arcy Short, SIX, clobbered, short of a length and at the stumps, was the slower ball and Short latched onto it, swivelled across and pulled it over backward square leg for a boundary

K Richardson to D Arcy Short, FOUR, Short makes the most of it, threw his bat at a full ball and squirted it up and over backward point for a boundary

K Richardson to Wade, SIX, massive, fraction too short and at the stumps, it was the slower ball, but it sat up to be smacked, Wade swivels across and pulls it high and over mid-wicket for a maximum

K Richardson to Wade, FOUR, floaty half-volley outside off, Wade leans across and drills it wide of cover, beat the fielder in the ring and runs away to the ropes

Tremain to D Arcy Short, FOUR, that's a poor ball, length delivery on Short's pads, he gets inside the line and clips it square on the on-side, past short fine and runs away to the fence

Tremain to D Arcy Short, FOUR, beautifully played, pitched up and just outside off, Short leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and places the drive through cover for a boundary

K Richardson to Wade, SIX, that's a majestic blow, length delivery outside off, Wade prods across and heaves it high and over mid-wicket, hit the ropes on the full and it's the first maximum of the day

K Richardson to Wade, FOUR, intentions straightaway from Wade, short of a length and just outside off, he shuffles across and pulls it high and behind square on the on-side, didn't get hold of the shot - but has enough to dribble away to the ropes
