8.20pm Well, that was an enthralling innings. Colin Munro gave Heat a rollicking start with his blitzkrieg knock, and after he fell for 38 off 14, Sam Billings continued the momentum, smashing 16 off nine. But a lull followed after Billings got out, with Steve O'Keefe running through the Heat lineup with three wickets for just 26 runs from his three overs. Dwarshius, Jordan and Kerr also picked up a wicket each. McSweeney looked to hold the innings together but then Michael Neser came in and just bludgeoned the ball around to ensure they finished with a flourish. Neser finished unbeaten on 45, off just 18 deliveries, while McSweeney stayed not out on 28 off 20. Heat have definitely done enough to ensure they have given their bowlers enough to defend. Join us in a bit for the chase!

Kerr to Neser, 1 leg bye

Yorker on leg, and it hits his back leg as he tries to dig it out. The appeals are turned out so Sixers review it. It could have pitched outside leg. There was no bat involved, Ultraedge confirms, and hawkeye shows that it was indeed pitching outside leg.
