Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Stars, 53rd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Lalor to Dwayne Bravo, out Dwayne Bravo Run Out!! 1 run completed. Very full and dug out to deep mid-wicket. They have to run the second even if it is non-existent, as it's the final ball. However, Swepson's throw despite not being that accurate gives Peirson enough time to roll it onto the stumps with Bravo way short. Dwayne Bravo run out (Swepson/Peirson) 21(16) [4s-1 6s-1]

Lalor to Bird, out Caught by Renshaw!! Foxed by the slower ball! Was wider in line too and asked Bird to fetch it. He probably wanted to dab it on the off-side for the single but scooped it straight towards extra cover where Renshaw takes it with ease. Bird c Renshaw b Lalor 3(5)

Lalor to Dwayne Bravo, SIX, only DJ Bravo can pull off a stunt like this! Slower short ball, wider outside off, he was going across a bit and then attemps that flat-batted swat, off-balance but enough power to clear the long-off fielder. Wow!

Lalor to Dwayne Bravo, FOUR, poor bowling, doesn't bowl to his field and gifts a boundary. Drifts well down leg, on a good length and Bravo tickles it fine down the leg-side. Easy pickings

Lalor to Stoinis, out Stoinis Run Out!! 1 run completed. Sensational fielding from Ross! Got to the ball quickly at deep backward point and then fired a flat, accurate throw at the keeper's end, leaving Peirson to do the rest. Stoinis was always struggling after that initial slip up in the second run. Eventually, falls short and has to depart. Excellent innings again from Stoinis, continues his red hot form. The wicket will jolt the Stars. Stoinis run out (Ross/Peirson) 81(51) [4s-7 6s-2]

Prestwidge to Seb Gotch, out Caught by Ross!! Picks out the fielder perfectly! Short and wide, Gotch wanted to go behind square through the off-side on this upper slap-drive but the slowness of the surface did him in. Eventually, hit it straight to Ross at sweeper cover and he didn't have to budge at all. Seb Gotch c Ross b Prestwidge 11(14)

Swepson to Stoinis, FOUR, exceptional batting! Slow turning leg break on a good length, Stoinis had to create all the pace on this shot and boy, he did! Backs away to lift this deliberately wide of long-off, struck well and Baz can't cut off, which means nobody could have cut it off

Swepson to Stoinis, FOUR, overdid the flight, juicy full toss and Stoinis is seeing them like a beach ball anyway. Bang! Through extra cover like a rocket

Matthew Kuhnemann to Stoinis, FOUR, that's deceived Baz at long-on! He got across to his right but it spun past him to the fence. Ah! Was a mishit from Stoinis to begin with, cue-ended the slog sweep but managed to get it into the gap, just

Swepson to Seb Gotch, 1 run, floated wider outside off, Gotch drags it off the toe-end, past the bowler down to long-on

Cutting to Stoinis, 2 runs, shortish and outside off, Stoinis pulls it away to deep mid-wicket. In the gap and another brace, another BBL fifty for Stoinis!

Swepson to Maddinson, out Caught by Bryant!! Chipped straight to cover! The dismissal mirroring the kind of innings Maddinson had tonight. Never got going at all. This was the googly, stuck onto the pitch a bit as Maddinson tried to check his drive. Ended up spooning a dolly to cover. Maddinson c Bryant b Swepson 12(19) [4s-1]

Prestwidge to Maddinson, FOUR, not in control against this bouncer but Maddinson decides to hit his way out of trouble. Tries the pull and ends up getting a top edge down to the fine leg fence

Lalor to Maxwell, out Caught&Bowled!! Another soft dismissal and this is a big one! This held onto the pitch from a good length and Maxwell wanted to work this across the leg-side but only managed a leading edge that went straight up in the air towards Lalor who just took a step backward before pouching it with glee. He has his second. Roller coaster game so far, barrage of runs and three wickets have fallen too. Maxwell c and b Lalor 5(3) [4s-1]

Lalor to Stoinis, SIX, he has decided to tee off, Stoinis. Slower ball but it's in the slot and it's swung cleanly over long-on. He's striking them so well, again

Lalor to Maxwell, FOUR, well over short fine leg! Maxwell doesn't miss out like Handscomb did. Leg stumpish again from Lalor, it's whipped comfortably over Renshaw

Lalor to Handscomb, out Caught by Renshaw!! Soft dismissal! Handscomb cannot believe it. This was a buffet ball on the pads, he just had to beat short fine leg but ends up flicking this aerially to Renshaw stationed there. The young bloke completes a fine diving catch to seal the deal. Handscomb c Renshaw b Lalor 1(2)

Renshaw to Stoinis, FOUR, Stoinis is on the rampage now! Makes room again and gets that flatter half-tracker from Renshaw, cut away through the gap at point. Momentum back with the Stars despite the Dunk dismissal

Renshaw to Stoinis, SIX, almost into the second tier! Makes room and once again gets one in the zone, blasts this dead straight down the ground. Huge maximum

Renshaw to Stoinis, FOUR, quick hands from Stoinis! Knew that there was nobody behind square at the fence and so just wanted to clear the infield. Got the perfect fuller length and just drop kicked this comfortably over backward square leg

Renshaw to Ben Dunk, out Caught by Cutting!! Gone this time! Dunk's fortune is over for the night, at least with the bat. Made room for the inside out drive but ended up getting it straighter and aerial. Straight to mid-off where Cutting does the rest. Ben Dunk c Cutting b Renshaw 14(10) [4s-1 6s-1]

Matthew Kuhnemann to Ben Dunk, SIX, clouted away! Dunk is in some mood it seems. Couple of steps down the track and clobbers this over deep mid-wicket

Matthew Kuhnemann to Ben Dunk, FOUR, crunched! Too full, flatter as well and Dunk pumps it straight back past the bowler. Well past Baz at mid-off

Lalor to Stoinis, FOUR, more runs! Stoinis ends the over in a flurry. Shortish this time, width on offer and he flays it behind point

Lalor to Stoinis, FOUR, almost went all the way! Was a fuller one and Stoinis didn't quite get hold of the loft. Still cleared mid-off and one bounce into the ad hoardings
