Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Stars, 5th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Laughlin to Maxwell, out Bowled!! And the fun ends. End of a typically brilliant, breathtaking knock from the skipper. He was on fire tonight. He owned the stage and the Big Show as he is called fondly did deliver. But was this the choke slam? We shall see. That was a lowish full ball outside off and Maxwell ended up dragging it on to his sticks. Maxwell b Laughlin 83(39) [4s-7 6s-5]

Swepson to Maxwell, FOUR, drags the ball away behind square and gets it past the man at 45 for a four. That is his joint quickest fifty in BBL. The entertainer is back on the field and he has done what he does best. More to follow I feel with only four overs left

Zahir Khan to Clint Hinchliffe, out Stumped!! Rush of blood from Clint Hinchliffe ends his innings. Four dot balls in the over built the pressure and Clint Hinchliffe thought of dancing down the track. But he missed the line of the ball and the rest was done by the keeper. Superb over from Zahir Khan. Might turn out to be a game changing one. That one was a proper leggie and turned away a smidgen to beat the bat. Clint Hinchliffe st Peirson b Zahir Khan 0(6)

Swepson to Maxwell, SIX, hops back and smashes the pull over deep mid for a sixer. Wicket might have gone down but this man won't stay quiet

Zahir Khan to Maxwell, FOUR, slaps the full toss down the ground and the man at long-off almost pulled off a stunner diving to his right. The ball bobbled away to the fence in the end though

Cutting to Handscomb, out Handscomb Run Out!! Peirson has got his man I feel. That was chopped down close to the sticks, the keeper got there and threw the sticks down at the bowler's end. Handscomb was short of his crease. The third umpire had one look and gave it out. But excellent from the keeper, who picked it up and wasted no time in throwing the sticks down at the bowler's end.

Lalor to Cartwright, out Caught by Bryant!! The slower and fuller delivery does it for Brisbane. Was in the slot but Cartwright tried to hit it too hard and failed.
