slower ball on off stump, Simpson swings hard but doesn't quite get enough of it, skying it to the sub who takes his second catch to add to his runout!

Full commentary
What a game of cricket! Brad Hodge's heroics earlier in the day with a brilliant century were matched by Lee Carseldine for the Bulls.
When Reardon and Carseldine were at the crease at 2/265, it looked like the Bulls would achieve the unthinkable, but an epic batting collapse where the Bulls lost 8/35 means the Vics will host the final next Sunday
Brad Hodge has been named man of the match for his audacious 136 off just 118 balls but a special mention must go to Andrew McDonald who took 4/50, including the match-turning wicket of Lee Carseldine.
We've got one more match between the Redbacks and the Blues this Wednesday before the final next Sunday from the MCG where the Vics will take on Tasmania. Thanks for your company, from me, Andrew Fuss, good night.

tries to dart it in and Simpson says thankyou again and smashes it over long on, this is incredible cricket!
They're still looking for the ball in Row S. Does he play safe and go for the single?

The Bulls have now lost 6/15 in 14 balls. It's going to be difficult now but while Simpson is there, they've still got a heartbeat

What a game of cricket we've got on our hands tonight! Just to clarify, the winner will host the final next Sunday against the Tigers. The Bulls would also go through should it be a tie
