dropped! Length ball heaved to deep midwicket, straightforward head height chance for Smith but he fumbles this badly with his hands in front of his face. It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things though as the Sixers win by 24 runs.

10.50 pm So Hobart Hurricanes blow an opportunity to climb into the top five for a playoff spot. They're technically still mathematically alive but need a lot of results to go their way.
Player of the Match Steven Smith: "I just want to help the boys win another title. The game in Perth will be my last game [this season] so hopefully I can give the boys a good sendoff. I'm playing for a reason. I wanted to play every game and I feel like I've been contributing with a good couple of games."
That's it for today's live coverage. Come back tomorrow for some more live BBL action. Until then, take care!

yorker on off stump, jammed to long-on for a very tight two. The third umpire has a look and replays show that in fact Paris didn't make the ground coming back for the second before Kerr took the bails off.
