End of over. Over 20. 20 runs. Bowler: Xavier Bartlett. Melbourne Stars: 195/6(rr 9.75)

Six runs. SIX! Xavier Bartlett to Hilton Cartwright. Reverse Swing-In full toss, off stump on the back foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Melbourne Stars have put up a defendable total after being invited to bat first. Sam Harper dominated the powerplay with a flurry of boundaries, while Marcus Stoinis chipped in with an impactful knock. Campbell Kellaway then anchored the innings with a terrific display. The Heat fought back impressively in the middle overs, tightening the screws with a cluster of wickets, but Blake Macdonald had other ideas at the death, smashing the ball to all parts of the park to lift the Stars late. Will the Stars defend their total and stay on top of the table, or can the Heat chase it down to grab two crucial points? Join us shortly for the chase.
