0.4 to MJ Owen, another high ball, and Cartwright makes no mistake this time! Speared in full on middle and leg. Owen tries to help it over square leg but cloths it completely. Cartwright runs in off the deep mid wicket fence, settles under it and takes it low down. Throws the ball up into the air in delight. He will be relieved!. 9/1 | ||||||||||

1.1 to Rehan Ahmed, nicked and gone! Rehan reviews! Full and wide outside off, shaping away late. Rehan charges down the track and swishes at it. There seems to be a noise as the ball passes the bat, but Rehan is adamant he has not hit this. Looks like we will have to rely on UltraEdge. Snicko has not had the greatest couple of days over in the Ashes. UltraEdge shows a spike, and Rehan is perplexed. He has to go, and he takes a review along with him too!. 10/2 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 30 | 3 | 7.50 | 8 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
15.3 to TH David, holes out to deep mid wicket, and David's struggles come to an end! Banged into the track on middle and leg, daring David to take on the longer side. David accepts the challenge but comes up second-best. Quite comfortably too. Arrows it flat to Rogers, who dives forward and completes the catch!. 119/4 19.1 to MS Wade, Maxwell with some magic on the fence! Slower ball into the track on middle and leg. Wade skips down and swats it towards long on. Maxwell takes it mid-air and then parries it up, knowing he would land beyond the rope. He then returns to the field of play, completes the catch and sends Wade on his way!. 151/8 19.5 to RP Meredith, another world-class grab, and the Hurricanes are falling apart! Sharp bumper on middle and leg. Meredith swings for the fences and the ball flies through to the keeper. Harper leaps into the air, flings out his right mitt and makes it stick. What a catch, and the Stars are tightening their grip on this game!. 157/9 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 33 | 2 | 8.25 | 11 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 0 | |
18.4 to CJ Jordan, Rauf has the last laugh! This is excellent bowling. Slower ball on a full length outside off and Jordan does not pick it at all. Too early into the stroke and in the end, he shovels it rather tamely to mid off. Kellaway gobbles up the chance, and the Stars keep chipping away!. 151/6 18.5 to NT Ellis, what a grab by Kellaway, and Rauf is on a hat-trick! Zipped in on a length just outside leg. Ellis, having backed away, jabs at it. Hits it uppishly towards mid off and for the longest while, it feels it will fall short of mid off. But Kellaway lunges forward to his right and picks it up inches off the turf!. 151/7 | ||||||||||

5.2 to N Chaudhary, goes straight up, and that will be that for Chaudhary with the bat! Zipped in full on middle and leg, and this seems to just hold in the surface. Chaudhary wants to whip this away but gets a leading edge because of the slight lack of pace. Kellaway calls for it early, moves to his left from mid wicket and does the rest!. 36/3 17.2 to BR McDermott, another shank, and this time, McDermott bites the dust! Full and hung up wide outside off. McDermott's eyes light up and he thinks he can pop this downtown. Seems like a cutter, though, and that meddles with McDermott's timing. He slices across it and Swepson does the rest at long off. Big wicket at this stage!. 140/5 | ||||||||||

5.3 to TF Rogers, Rishad into the wickets! Given a bit of air on a fullish length outside off. Rogers eyes the sightscreen but cuts across his shot a little too much. Arrows it towards long off, where Chaudhary moves to his left and does the rest. Timely breakthrough for the Hurricanes!. 46/1 7.3 to JM Clarke, soft, soft dismissal! Length ball on middle and off. Clarke tries to play the paddle-sweep but does not get on top of it. Does not get under it fully either and in the end, he pops it straight to short fine leg. A tame dismissal, and Rishad has two already!. 58/2 | ||||||||||
