10.10pm Lynn-less Heat open their campaign with a 15-run win in front of a packed home crowd. Marcus Stoinis threatened the 207-run target with a sublime 99 and found some support from James Faulkner, but Doggett, Shadab, and Swepson did well to plug the boundaries in the end overs. The win, however, was set up by fifties from Burns and Ross. Hope you enjoyed the coverage as much as we did bringing it to you. Thanks for reading. This is Deivarayan Muthu and P Ranjith signing off.

Huzefa: "Stoinis is unfortunately making a habit of contributing humongously in tough run chases #146"

StatsGuru: "Hastings has to put his hands up and accept the blame for the loss, to only give Faulkner 1 over whilst others were going around the park is unacceptable

Rajat raj: "Or punjab already watching the match and retain Stoinis."

Steketee to Faulkner, 1 run

Faulkner shuffles a fair way outside the leg stump and manufactures swinging room, but this is a short, slower cutter outside off, forced to the covers

Steketee to Gulbis, OUT

back of a length on off, he clears his front leg and hacks it away to the right of long-on. Good running catch from Doggett

Steketee to Stoinis, 1 run, OUT

Stoinis has been dropped on 98 but has been run out on 99. Stunning innings from Stoinis but it can't get his side past the line. He slugs this back-of-a-length ball straight to deep midwicket but Labuschange now drops the catch. He recovers a fires a throw at the keeper's end. Stonis is caught short despite a full-length dive

Steketee to Stoinis, 2 runs

Pierson, the keeper, runs back and misses this skier. It hung up in the sky for a long time. Short and cramps the moving batsman for room. The result is a swirling top edge, which Pierson drops

Steketee to Stoinis, 2 runs

Baz back-tracks from mid-off, stretches his hands, but this miscue clears him. Faulkner gave himself room and sliced it away

19.1
2
Steketee to Stoinis, 2 runs

full on off, clubbed across the line between deep midwicket and wide long-on. Good tag-team work in the deep

Can Stars conjure 24 off the last over? Stekete to bowl it

Adrian Meredith: "I saw Ian Botham get 24 off an over once back in the day. Can Stoinis do it today?"

Lalor to Stoinis, 1 run

really full on off, not a perfect yorker, but the batsman can't get under the length. Whipped up to long-on

Lalor to Faulkner, 1 run

wide yorker outside off, toe-ended past the left of the bowler

Lalor to Faulkner, FOUR runs

dug in short and outside off, right up there for Faulkner to pull it away to his favourite midwicket boundary

Carwyn : "Stoinis in line for a big IPL contract if he continues this form - great to see a young gun fulfilling their potential "

18.3
1
Lalor to Stoinis, 1 run

slower short ball on middle, he swings early, and cue-ends it down to long-on

18.2

Lalor to Stoinis, FOUR runs

Stoinis clears long-off now. He gets under this full ball and lifts it over Baz, I think

18.1
6
Lalor to Stoinis, SIX runs

short of a good length and slanting away outside off, the batsman hangs back and swats it in the air. Two men converge at long-on but Stoinis clears the boundary

Melbourne Stars require another 41 runs with 6 wickets and 12 balls remaining

Doggett to Faulkner, 2 runs

back of a length and outside off, flat-bat swat down to long-on

Shahid: "You didnot mention the century stand between these two" --- Hectic stuff, this is where you step in

Ali: "Here in the UK watching what seems much more interesting than the Ashes! 19 year old Kid making a statement for himself. Old Veteran Brendon showing he still has knows how to middle the Ball! what is not to love about the BBL! Would love to see Gayle or Afridi in this League"

short and rises on middle, steps away outside leg and carves to cover-point

17.3

Lehar: "What kind of nerves Stoinis has. Doesn't he feel pressure at any time?" --- But this is probably beyond him

17.2
Doggett to Faulkner, no run

short and wide outside off, backs away and slashes to backward point. There's a mix-up between the wickets, eventually a dot

17.1
3
Doggett to Stoinis, 3 runs

full on the leg stump, following the batsman, who was backing away. Pumped down the ground. Baz chases hard, and flicks the ball into the field of play before sliding over the boundary

16.6
2
Lalor to Faulkner, 2 runs

wide of the crease, pretty full and holds its line outside off, carted through the line to extra cover. They scamper across for a single. A direct hit at the bowler's end could have had Faulkner. They pinch an extra run via an overthrow

Sunny: "Its really great to see how Brendon McCullum is giving Shadab Khan much confidence..." --- They played together at TKR in the CPL
