Brisbane Heat win by four runs and that was a terrific contest. They are up to third for now and well placed for finals. What a few days Spencer Johnson has had. Huge emotion from him after sending down that last ball. Terrific story. The home side get it done. Was set up by the superb stand between Sam Hain and Jimmy Peirson. Then the spinners played a key role before Johnson's finishing effort. Fair play to the Stars, a team with nothing to play for but on a decent show. A big afternoon at the Gabba.

We've got more BBL to come shortly as well with Perth Scorchers verses Melbourne Renegades. Alex and I will be back to bring you that in just over an hour, but for now it's goodbye and thanks for joining us

Stoinis needs a six off the last ball to win it

James: "It's a very very bad night for Neser to have his worst game of the season…..but even still that was never a no ball. Shocking call "

Neser to Cartwright, 2 runs

back of a length, pulled through square leg and it's a brace to end a massive over

18.5

Neser to Cartwright, FOUR runs

a low full toss at the pads, whipped through the leg side. Has that been kept inside the field? A diving effort from deep square but he's touching the rope

short, over the head, and called wide! Drama

18.3

Neser to Stoinis, SIX runs

what a stroke! That's Stoinis his best. Very full outside off, he pumps it straight down the ground with not much more than a bottom-handed flick

18.2
Neser to Stoinis, no run

full toss outside leg stump, Stoinis misses out as he nails the drive to mid-off

Another free hit

1nb
Neser to Stoinis, (no ball)

reverse scooped to short third! Crowd goes wild. Another full toss and now Stoinis waiting around. This one is just below waist height. Is that the game? Oh wow, called no-ball. Not sure about that. Third umpire rules it was above waist height in Stoinis' normal stance

Neser to Stoinis, SIX runs

scooped to fine leg! And goes all the way. What a stroke. Poor ball, full toss outside leg, and Stoinis just flicks it to fine leg

Free hit

Johnson to Cartwright, (no ball)

big full toss, carved to mid-off! Think that's okay on height. Cartwright couldn't get the leverage and it was a simple take. He wants it checking but it's been given on field. Well, it's borderline...Cartwright had got a little lower to play the shot. And it's given no-ball. Big moment

17.4

Johnson to Cartwright, 2 runs

full outside off, driven wide of deep cover, but Heat will be fine with twos

Johnson to Cartwright, 1 wide

and again! Brilliant bowling. A yorker outside off which Cartwright can't get any bat on

17.3
Johnson to Cartwright, no run

pushed well across, excellent length, basically a yorker, drives over the top of it. Top delivery
