Now it’s time for the wild thing! You feel he could be the one to make some inroads. His first three balls are dots. Stoinis just gets a cut away for two. Follows up with another two.

Hobart have set the Stars with an easy target of 125 to chase. You wouldn’t expect them to have any troubles chasing that.

Final ball of the innings. Boland to Tait on a hat-trick. Tait defends to avoid the hat-trick but it’s a team hat-trick! He’s run out by an inch as the ball went down to mid-off.

Bailey starting to tee off now! Boland comes back into the attack. Bailey gets two off an inside edge that just goes over cover. He then belts a six off a full, slower delivery over Pietersen’s head.

Zampa continues, and is driven brilliantly by Bailey through the covers for four. Hurricanes need plenty more of those. Both teams wearing black armbands tonight to remember George Bailey and Luke Wright’s late teammate from Sussex 22-year old Matthew Hobden.

Hastings returns for his 2nd over. He gets one ball to seam a mile nearly confusing Handscomb who just manages to stop the byes. Wells scampers through for a quick single off the last ball of the over.

Woeful drop from Bailey. Rainbird lures Wright into a big heave which he skies toward Bailey at mid-off. Bailey drops it in front of his face before dropping the rebound as well.
This time Stoinis is gone! Caught at long-on. It looked like it may go for six but Dunk caught it just inside the boundary rope.
