Full commentary

9.18pm Lynn and McCullum dominated this Friday evening here in Gabba with an unbelievable show of clean ball striking, some of the best strokes this year. They made the chase of 174 look like a dawdle. They chased it down with 22 balls to spare to continue their unbeaten run this year. Beat this team. The Hurricanes bowlers had no answers to the onslaught and eventually succumbed to wounds, partially created by themselves with those dropped chances.

Tait to Ross, OUT

wow, 144 kph swinging delivery and straight. Ross has no idea what has happened? He's undone by pure pace, add swing to that and you get wickets. Ross looks to work the ball into the leg side, but the ball goes past his closed bat face and hits leg stump.
