10:19pm And off we go again. The par score for 7.3 overs is 51 for 3. For eight overs, it's 55 for 3. The captains and umpires are having a chat. We don't have too much time remaining for get the overs in. So this should be the end...yes it is. Melbourne Stars have won by four runs (DLS method). The captains shake hands. As do the teams. It's been a dicey evening and Stars have done just enough to stay ahead of the par. Experience counts. Stoinis and Handscomb didn't take too many risks as we approached what was the third rain stoppage. Only 18.3 overs possible in the match and in the end Stars ended up in front. Nathan Coulter-Nile is the Man of the Match. His 2 for 14 alongside Steyn's 2 for 12 set this up well for Stars, who are now second place with six points. Thanks for joining us and we'll see you soon!

Meredith to Stoinis, OUT

he's holed out to long-on! Sort of a length just outside off, looks to club that over midwicket, ends up slicing it and Miller hangs on

full on leg stump, clipped off the toe-end in front of long-on and they risk a second. Direct hit would have had him, but for now they clear the par score for the 7th over

Peter: "If you knew the rain was coming, what is to stop you continuing to bowl no balls so the 5th over is never finished and there is a no result?" --- A clean conscience, I suppose. Here is Qais.

Just about staying in front of the par score at the moment. A couple of boundaries will help them breathe easy.

Ellis to Handscomb, 1 run

bouncer at leg stump, hooked uppishly down to fine leg

Par score if they're three down at the end of this over is 41.

Ellis to Handscomb, 1 run

just wide of mid-off. Legcutter, slower ball outside off. Looks to drive on the rise, gets a thick edge to the fielder's right

5.3

Ellis to Stoinis, 1 run

slower ball at a length on off stump. Allows that to come on and drops it into the off side with soft hands

Now Stoinis has a chat with Handscomb. Surely the message is not to get out...

Stars are three ahead of the par score of 34. And now they are in no hurry to take guard. Ellis with the ball. A wicket here would change things if we have rain around the corner...

4.6
Qais to Stoinis, no run

short and wide and fast outside off. Beaten on the cut

The captain and wicketkeeper, McDermott is trying to run down the clock as we approach the ball that gives us a guaranteed result, asking the umpires if it's time to go off. Crowd doesn't appreciate that...
