9.45 pm A relieved Ben Dunk goes through the process of shaking hands. He's been the difference in this run-chase, holding firm for 79 off 49 balls, against his old team. A target of 161 wasn't the most daunting, but it was made to look so with a few wickets at the right time, especially from Stuart Broad. His 2 for 37 was a good effort too but with Dunk still around to shepherd the new batsman, it didn't matter much. Thank you for tuning in, hope you had fun and hope we see you soon

David: "It's tighter than it "should" be, because once Hodge, Pollard and Dean got out in successive overs, they took the foot off the pedal just to make sure of the result."

18.2
6
Boyce to Jordan, SIX runs

short, smashed and Strikers' seal it much to the joy of their home crowd. This long hop sits up for the pull shot and Jordan exploits it with glee. Soars over mdiwicket and that is that

18.1
Boyce to Jordan, no run

deceives him with lack of pace. The short ball sits in the pitch, and ducks under the pull shot as well

Boyce on

1
Kingston to Jordan, 1 run

oooh, that's top work from Short, running in from the deep point boundary, looking to make something out of almost nothing. Jordan was looking for the boundary when he cut up and over the off side field. Short was the only man on the boundary on that side of the field and he runs in quickly, dives forward to try and make it a catch, but it falls just short. Manages to prevent it from going for four too

1
Kingston to Dunk, 1 run

shortish and outside off, cut to deep point. Wells is fielding down there, wondering perhaps about he futility of his classy fifty earlier in the day

17.4
1
Kingston to Jordan, 1 run

back of a length and outside off, spears it through cover. Moves beside the ball just outside off to have the room to hit the gap

Everyone in the deep on the leg side. That's four men

17.3
1
Kingston to Dunk, 1 run

full and outside off, drives it to long-off

17.2
1
Kingston to Jordan, 1 run

shortish and outside off, chops it down on the cut stripe and runs

17.2
1w
Kingston to Jordan, 1 wide

digs it in, and it wanders just a hint down leg. Jordan ducks and is happy to see the umpire call wide. Ooh, that's harsh

17.1
1
Kingston to Dunk, 1 run

superb fielding by Bailey at point, diving to his left to save a run. This short and wide delivery is crashed away by Dunk. Not far enough for his liking

Strikers need 11 off 18 now. Why does that seem tighter than it should be? One Dunk hit should sort that out though. And here's Kingston. Can he hold under pressure

Broad to Dunk, 1 run

goes for a drive through cover, but mistimes it. Finds the single he wants though at point to retain strike

Broad to Jordan, 1 run

shortish and outside off, guides it to deep point

Aashish Calla: "In other news, Yuvraj Singh is back in India's ODI and T20 squads. A new year gift for Indian cricket fans!"

16.4
1
Broad to Dunk, 1 run

back over the wicket for a short ball on off stump, inside edges it through midwicket

16.4
1w
Broad to Dunk, 1 wide

full and down leg as Broad goes around the wicket to Dunk and loses his line. Little offbreak goes awry. Dunk's not pleased that he didn't get a tickle on that for four

16.3
Broad to Dunk, no run

shortish on middle and leg, drops it down by his feet

16.2
1
Broad to Jordan, 1 run

legcutter, which deceives Jordan as he defends with hard hands, with his feet pinned to the crease. Outisde edge through cover. And as he runs through to safety, Broad whacks Jordan on the back of the helmet. All in good fun, of course

16.1
Broad to Jordan, no run

full on middle and leg, pushes to mid-on

Kapil: "Strikers should bring back Tim Ludeman or Craig Simmons in place of Dean for the next fixture. They have to win almost all games to qualify and if their batting gets going, they can definitely win this tourney. Heat the current favourites for me"
