Full commentary

What a thriller in the end, coming down to the last over despite a very low scoring game. Noffke was outstanding with bat and ball, steadying the innings with a top score for WA of 43. McDermott, Laughlin and Cutting were all great with the ball for Qld

Carseldine got the first 50 for the new season but it wasn't enough as Noffke had the last laugh against his old side, taking Man of the Match honours in the process.

That's it from me, Andrew Fuss. Until next time, good night.

49.3

Simpson to Knowles, 2 runs

puts it over square leg for the winning runs, they finally get across the line!

49.2
Simpson to Knowles, no run

pushed to mid wicket, Dorey takes off and should have been run out as Simpson fumbles at the bowler's end. The drama continues!

Just a bit of pressure on the number 10 here. Field is up

So it all comes down to this, 3 required off one Simpson over, with 2 wickets in hand. What a way to start the new season!

48.6
Laughlin to Knowles, no run

and again beats the outside edge, very unlucky not to have a fourth there, the end of a great spell

48.5
Laughlin to Knowles, no run

ooh, so close! Full outside off, angling away and just beating the outside edge

48.4
Laughlin to Knowles, no run

nice bouncer, ducked under easily

48.3
Laughlin to Knowles, no run

length on off, nips back in and cramps him up, squirting off the pad to slip

48.2
Laughlin to Knowles, no run

right on the money, defended back to the bowler

Is there another twist?

Rimmington to Dorey, 1 leg bye

length ball hits the thigh pad, squirts to point

46.2
Rimmington to Dorey, no run

quick, skidding delivery, hits in front of middle, perhaps just going down leg. Rimmington's appeal perhaps wasn't convincing enough

Rimmington to Dorey, no run

steps across to a short ball outside off and doesn't make contact on a cross bat swat
