12.3 to MP Stoinis, Stoinis is cleaned up for a duck! Tossed up at a length on off and it spins away as Stoinis looks to defend and clatters onto top of off. Beautiful delivery there from Dooley, who takes his first BBL wicket. 106/3
Shadab Khan	4	0	29	1	7.25	7	3	0	0	0
5.4 to TF Rogers, holes out to long on! Tossed up on middle, it was in the slot and Rogers tried to launch with the turn but didn't hit it well and hit it too flat, easy catch for David running in. 54/1
Riley Meredith	4	0	38	2	9.50	7	4	1	1	0
11.5 to BJ Webster, Straight to deep midwicket. Meredith goes short again, Webster has to be on his toes to pull that, but hits it straight to Dooley, who makes no mistake. 105/2 18.1 to HWR Cartwright, Caught and bowled. Banged in short and Cartwright top-edges his pull. The ball lobs up and Meredith takes it comfortably. 163/4

BOWLING	O	M	R	W	ECON	0s	4s	6s	WD	NB
Trent Boult	4	0	41	1	10.25	8	7	0	1	0
19.1 to JS Paris, What a stunning catch! Banged in short and he looked to back away and cut it but gets a thick edge behind point. Hinchcliffe, on as a sub, runs to his left from short third and takes a brilliant diving effort. 134/9
Luke Wood	4	0	25	3	6.25	10	0	1	2	0
3.1 to BR McDermott, outstanding catch from Larkin at deep backward square! McDermott charged at a shorter ball and got a thick top edge that sailed into the twilight above the stands, Larkin camped under it for an eternity just inside the deep square rope and took the catch as cool as you like.. 25/1 17.1 to JDS Neesham, And instantly sends Neesham packing! Looks to smash this full delivery outside off and ends up skying it to mid-off. 122/6 17.6 to TH David, Chipped to extra cover. Looked to flick this full delivery off his toes but gets a leading edge that loops up straight to the substitute fielder O'Connell. 131/7
Beau Webster	4	0	21	0	5.25	4	0	0	0	0
Adam Zampa	4	0	27	3	6.75	9	2	1	0	0
5.5 to DJM Short, caught behind! 89kph, faster legbreak that bounces a touch as too close to cut, a thin edge is well caught by Clarke. Zampa strikes. 43/2 14.2 to Asif Ali, Straight to deep midwicket! Length ball around off and Asif looked to hoick it away but it goes straight to Cartwright who gobbles it up. That's the fifth wicket down for the Hurricanes and Stars are in the hot seat now. 97/5 18.2 to NT Ellis, Good catch by Boult! Ellis can't get this cleanly as he looks to go aerial off a length ball on middle and Trent Boult does well to run to his left from midwicket and takes it with ease in the end. 132/8 See all photos
Nathan Coulter-Nile	4	0	24	2	6.00	8	2	0	0	0
9.5 to Shadab Khan, skied straight to mid off! 130kph fuller length outside off, Shadab needed to get going and he tried to loft straight but sliced across it and looped a catch to Rogers on the circle. 71/3 13.1 to MS Wade, And he gets Wade! Length on middle and Wade looked to hoick it away on the leg side, but ends up skying it straight to Cartwright at deep midwicket. 92/4
