low full toss at shin height on off slapped straight to extra cover. Brief fumble by Colin Ingram. Relay to the non-striker's stumps from his knees hits direct off a bounce. Did they make the run????!!?!! Steketee's bat popped up in the air on the dive trying to complete the single and the umpire deems it bounced up before it was grounded across the line! OUT! Hurricanes win by one run!

So Hurricanes escape with full points from the match but Keemo Paul injured a hamstring and it's unclear if he'll miss any extended time. There's one more BBL match remaining in 2020. Can it top this from today? Come back tomorrow to find out. That's all from us for now. Take care!
Hobart Hurricanes captain Peter Handscomb: "The nerves were shaky at the end but to have someone as experienced as Scott Boland... I couldn't tell if that bat was over the line or if it was up. The boys were all telling me about the super over which I didn't know about. But then they said it was out. So, happy days."
They've finally shown a replay from down the crease line. Despite some ambiguity in the moment itself when the replay wasn't shown, it's 100% clear the bat never crossed the line grounded before it popped up at the moment the ball hit the stumps.
Brisbane Heat captain Jimmy Peirson: "What a game of cricket. To come down to the last ball and decided by a runout... I was quite confident in the last over. [Peirson has just seen a replay clearly showing the bat bouncing up before crossing the line] That's fair enough then."
9.58 pm What drama in the final over. Spectacular work from Boland defending six runs in the last over to steal an improbable win. Mujeeb's five-for in the first innings goes to waste and he's been named Player of the Match in a losing effort. The only replay shown on that final ball runout came from deep on the boundary at cover. There was never a replay shown down the line of the crease. It was ambiguous whether or not the bat was grounded on the line or past the line before it bounced up in the air but Darren Lehmann is not happy. He only has his batsmen to blame though. They got off to a horrendous start in the Powerplay. Needing six runs in the 10th over to seal the Bash Boost Point, they only managed four runs off D'Arcy Short's spin and it was a harbinger of things to come at the death. Needing seven to win in the 20th, they only managed five.

Boland to Steketee, 1 run
length ball on middle, Steketee backs away to heave through the leg side for one.
Mustafa Moudi: "Hurricanes would have won this match long ago, had Handscomb given Completed Short and Parker's overs in the Middle. The same Short who had earned a Bash Boost Point for them by successfully defending 6 Runs in the 10th Over could have earned them the 3 Points as well !!"

Ellis really only missed on one ball in the over, but it brought about a desperately needed six runs for Bazley and the Heat. 7 off the final over now to win. One more mistake from Boland is all it will take for the Heat to get over the line.
