10.05pm That is that. The Sixers have gunned down 173 with a 167-run stand between Phillipe and Vince - the best for the second wicket in the BBL. They have toppled the table-topping Hobart Hurricanes. That's all we have for you from this game. Goodbye and good night for now.

Travis: "@Nick I don't mind them using third umpire for that if the batsman didn't ground their bat properly. I just don't understand the logic of not using DRS to not slow down the game, when obvious 3rd umpire decisions do just that"

Nick Calder: "That umpiring review for a run out was embarrassing. The umpire is a metre away from the stumps, the batsman is almost past the stumps when the bails come off and he can't trust his own judgement. If they can't pick something that easy, how can they be trusted for close LBW calls?" -- Archer is back
