Gannon to Faulkner, FOUR, slower ball again, but he overpitches it. Faulkner cannons it off the middle straight down the ground, two fielders (long-on and long-off) converged but they fail to stop that

Cutting to Hastings, out Caught by Brendon McCullum!! Gone. Hastings can take a breather in the dug-out. Slanted full outside off, Hastings plants his front foot and bludgeons it to extra cover. Baz times his jump to perfection, leaps and holds on. It bobbles out, however he manages to settle under it on the secont attempt. Hastings c Brendon McCullum b Cutting 0(2)

Steketee to Maxwell, out Caught by Doggett!! And he departs. Stars' last hope of reaching the 150-mark has been dented. Steketee sticks to his slower short ball, that seems the trick on this pitch. Maxwell stayed leg-sidish and flat-batted it hard, straight to long-on. Maxwell c Doggett b Steketee 50(39) [4s-5 6s-1]

Steketee to Maxwell, FOUR, fifty for Maxwell, reaches there in a streaky fashion. Slower short ball on the body, Maxwell went for the pull and top-edges it over the keeper. Loud cheers from the MCG crowd

Steketee to Maxwell, FOUR, smart batting from Maxwell. Has seen enough of Steketee's slower balls. Backs away to leg and throws the kitchen sink, carves it over point

Doggett to Maxwell, SIX, Maxwell was looking a bid fidgety but this is how you deal with fidgetiness. Jeez! Doggett serves it up and in the arc for Maxwell. He loads up and smokes it straight into the sightscreen. Fierce hit!

Steketee to Maxwell, FOUR, not conventional from Maxwell, but he will take it. 4 balls, all slower ones. This was the leg-cutter that climbed onto Maxwell, it takes the top-edge and flies over the keeper. Fine was inside the ring and there was no point chasing it

Doggett to Maxwell, FOUR, this was smashed. Brute power from Maxwell, sees a full ball and he winds up his muscles it slam it straight down the ground. Rockets away to the fence at the speed of mach 3

Swepson to Quiney, out Caught&Bowled!! Stunned silence in the crowd. Stars lose half their side. The two leggies are turning it on for the Heat. This quicker ball, stops on the batsman. Quiney tamely checks his shot and lobs it straight bat at Swepson, who accepts it with glee. Quiney c and b Swepson 0(2)

Yasir Shah to Maxwell, out Stoinis Run Out!! 1 run completed. Needless. Big wicket for the Heat. Stars lose their fourth wicket. Yasir follows Maxwell, who stayed a bit leg-sidish. Worked towards mid-wicket and they take off for the second. Stoinis responded in kind and in the end, Doggett's throw was on cue. Stoinis was found well short of his crease. Credit to Yasir too, for collecting the throw and effecting the run-out in quick time. Stoinis was disappointed as he walked away. Stoinis run out (Doggett/Yasir Shah) 4(5)

Cutting to Maxwell, FOUR, superb connection on this occasion from Maxwell. Nonchalance at display. Cutting goes short again, with third man inside the ring and pays the price. Maxwell picked it early and elevated it over the keeper

W
Swepson to Pietersen, out Caught by Doggett!! Two wickets for Swepson in his two overs and this one is the prized scalp of KP. Nicely tossed up on the stumps, eliciting the big-hit from the batsman. The ball dips again making Pietersen's loft look all awry. Off the toe-end and hits it straight to Doggett at long-on. He didn't have to move an inch to clasp that. Pietersen c Doggett b Swepson 30(25) [4s-3]

W
Swepson to Luke Wright, out Stumped!! Swepson has struck in his first over. Beautiful bowling from the leggie, saw the batsman skip out of his crease and he slows it up holding his length back. Wright was nowhere near the pitch in his attempt to wrist the ball to the leg-side. The ball sneaks through the gap between bat and pad, Peirson does the whipping off the bails job. Luke Wright st Peirson b Swepson 19(21) [4s-2]

Steketee to Luke Wright, FOUR, caps off the over with a boundary. Wright dances down the track and spanks it firmly over extra cover

Gannon to Pietersen, FOUR, Gannon is not learning. Offers width again to Pietersen, he latches onto it like a rampant salmon and thrashes it through cover-point

Gannon to Pietersen, FOUR, short and width for Pietersen, he accepts it gleefully and throws his bat to slap it over short third man

Doggett to Pietersen, FOUR, here's the flamingo. A feeder into the pads, Pietersen gets tall, walks into the line and with a perfect followthrough glances it through fine leg
2.1
W
Yasir Shah to Ben Dunk, out Lbw!! Typically non-subcontinental. Dunk stays pinned in the crease, standing bang in front of his stumps in looking to glance it away. Just that this one skids on, straight with the angle, past the bat and stays trapped. Pitching right in line as well and the lack of bounce out here makes the decision all the more simpler. Ben Dunk lbw b Yasir Shah 5(5)

Steketee to Luke Wright, 2 runs, catch down. Oh my. Wright tries another cut, only with a dance down this time. The ball too was shorter, takes the fat top edge and a running third man, overruns, gets it in his hands and the momentum is enough to ensure that it bursts out

Steketee to Luke Wright, FOUR, latches on. All the width outside off with the sitting up length and Wright goes hard, flashing it to the right of point's dive
