10.32 pm It's been a struggle in recent times to get 11 fit and healthy bodies on the field for the Stars but they claim full points tonight. Joe Clarke makes 83 off 58, having been dropped on 42, and takes his side into a winning position before Qais does the honors in the final over.

That's it for our doubleheader coverage today. Come back tomorrow for more BBL action. Take care!

MW Short to Qais, SIX runs

Qais off the mark in style to level the scores! Good length ball flighted too generously and Qais clears the front leg heaving this high over wide long-on and clears the rope by a few yards.

Matt Short tasked with defending this bowling his offspin. He usually bowls It with plenty of flight but expect him to zing them in. Qais Ahmad, who entered in the previous over, finally comes on strike for his first ball.

Siddle to Clarke, OUT

slower ball on the stumps on a good length, tries to muscle this down the ground to level the scores but doesn't get the power behind it and hangs up in the air for Thomas Kelly to charge in 20 yards and to his left, taking the catch eight yards in from the rope at rib height.

Joe Clarke c Kelly b Siddle 83 (58b 3x4 4x6) SR: 143.1

18.3
Siddle to Clarke, no run

18.3
1nb
Siddle to Clarke, (no ball)

searches for yorker, winds up as a waist high full toss miscued to mid-off for a basic catch at ankle height. No real celebrations from the Strikers. They're assuming it was a no ball on height. It's right at the belt line. Touch and go. Third umpire sides with the batter claiming it was not out. Harsh call but probably the right one by the letter of the law. Free hit coming up.
