Zampa to Peirson, FOUR, Peirson ends the innings with a boundary - backs away and then sweeps it in front of square on the on-side, splits the gap in the deep and Heat finish with 149

Zampa to Bazley, out Caught by Rainbird!! Lovely delivery - loopy leg-break, threw it wide of off and asked Bazley to go over cover with the drive - he reaches out, gets a big edge on the hoick and Rainbird has a simple catch at backward point. Bazley c Rainbird b Zampa 5(5)

Coulter-Nile to Peirson, FOUR, clubbed, too predictable from NCN, slower ball outside off - Peirson clears his front leg and swipes it over mid-off, couple of bounces and over the ropes

Zampa to Duckett, out Bowled!! Duckett falls after a fifty - a pre-meditated the reverse sweep, Zampa saw it coming, gets this leg-break to skid through and past Duckett's shot - beats him all ends up and rattles the leg-stump. Zampa certainly enjoyed it, the dangerous Duckett departs just as he was about to switch gears. Duckett b Zampa 51(42) [4s-3 6s-2]

Zampa to Duckett, leg byes, FOUR, more runs for Heat, they will take it anyway they come - was the wrong 'un and spun away from outside off - Duckett shuffled across on the sweep and missed, off the thigh-pad and runs away to the third man boundary

Ahmed Daniyal to Duckett, 1 run, slower ball angling into the left-hander, Duckett helps it on its way, on the bounce to backward square leg

Ahmed Daniyal to Duckett, FOUR, this is poor bowling from Daniyal - short and n the hips, pulled away backward of square on the on-side for a boundary

Ahmed Daniyal to Duckett, SIX, back to back sixes from Duckett, he's injecting some momentum into the innings, length ball at the stumps, a free swing and he sent it sailing over mid-on for a maximum. Can they make this a big over?

Ahmed Daniyal to Duckett, SIX, lovely, Heat needed this - length ball angling into the left-hander - Duckett uses the angle, brings the bottom hand into play and shovels it wide of long-on for a maximum

Coulter-Nile to Heazlett, out Caught by Maxwell!! Oh! That's a catch for all ages, one of the best, if not the best of the season and it's the Big Show. The reaction from the Stars tell how much they enjoyed it, none of them can believe what hapened there - on a good length and at the stumps, slugged away over mid-on and was easily going to clear the Stars captain - he ran back, threw himself backwards and came up with a left-handed scorcher - ensure that it didn't pop out as he fell onto the turf. Heazlett c Maxwell b Coulter-Nile 9(8) [4s-1]

Coulter-Nile to Heazlett, 1 run, short of a good length and at the stumps, heaved away without any timing past square leg for a single

Rainbird to Heazlett, FOUR, on a good length and at the stumps, Heazlett leans across and punches it back past the non-striker - the timing is sublime, Burns at long-on is very square and he can't get across to prevent the boundary

Maxwell to Lachlan Pfeffer, out Caught by Larkin!! This time the ball does carry to deep backward square leg and Larkin takes a low catch, in front of his shoe laces. Dropped short and sliding down leg - Pfeffer shuffled across and was looking to help it on its way with the pull, timed it well, but the placement wasn't to be. Lachlan Pfeffer c Larkin b Maxwell 11(14) [4s-1]

Coulter-Nile to Duckett, FOUR, clubbed, back of a length and just outside off - Duckett swivels across and then thumps the pullin front of square on the on-side, vacant areas out there and the ball runs away to the ropes

Maxwell to Lachlan Pfeffer, FOUR, nicely played, dropped short and down leg, Duckett swivels across and pulls it over backward square leg - bounces away to the ropes and past Larkin's big dive

Webster to Duckett, FOUR, shuffles early, sits and nails the sweep past short fine leg. There's nothing the man sweeping from backward square leg can do about this either

Ahmed Daniyal to Nathan McSweeney, out Lbw!! Loud shout for an LBW, and upheld. McSweeney shuffles across and defends down the wrong line with the ball skidding in and smashing him high on the back leg's thigh pad in front of off. The height did look dodgy, but the umpire doesn't really seem to have a problem with that. Nathan McSweeney lbw b Ahmed Daniyal 20(20) [4s-2]

Maxwell to Chris Lynn, out Caught by Coulter-Nile!! Dances down, looks to heave, but just doesn't get hold of it, with the miscue ballooning high over extra cover, where NCN goes backwards from extra cover in the ring and holds on while tumbling backwrads. Chris Lynn c Coulter-Nile b Maxwell 28(22) [4s-2 6s-1]

Maxwell to Nathan McSweeney, 1 run, full, leg-lined, swept through square leg

Coulter-Nile to Nathan McSweeney, FOUR, back of a length, sitting up nicely outside off. McSweeney swats it away wide of long-on

Brody Couch to Chris Lynn, FOUR, charges, backs away as he does, and Couch looks to follow him in, but Lynn's up to it swatting away through mid-wicket

Ahmed Daniyal to Nathan McSweeney, FOUR, a quick shuffle, using the in-angle to flick it away wide of short fine leg

Rainbird to Chris Lynn, SIX, charges down, gets right to the pitch of this delivery and launches it flat over mid-off
