Thomas Balkin to Hilton Cartwright, leg byes, 2 runs, A direct hit at the striker's end, Hilton Cartwright was scrambling back for the second run - he seems confident that he's beaten the throw and replays confirm the same - the 3rd umpire has a look - hang on! Brisbane Heat have reviewed for LBW, so we're checking for it first. No bat on this attempted paddle, but is it sliding down leg? It's just clipping the leg-stump and will stay with the onfield call. He's now checking for the run-out and Hilton Cartwright has slid his bat into the crease - NOT OUT on both counts - he was shuffling across on the flick and missed, didn't look close at first sight, but proved to be very close on replays

Thomas Balkin to Macdonald, 3 runs, short of a good length and just outside off - Macdonald hops across and then chops the cut in front of square on the off-side, long chase for Munro from mid-off and they're back for the third
