Michael Neser to Sam Harper, OUT! LBW! Michael Neser draws first blood and in the first over itself. He bowls it on length and shapes away on middle and leg. Sam Harper was cramped for room as he shuffled a long way across and tried to nudge it on the on side. A huge appeal but it is turned down and the Heat have reviewed it. The UltraEdge shows that there is no bat involved. Ball tracking confirms that Harper is caught in front of the stumps with the ball going on to hit them. Sam Harper has to depart and Heat are rewarded with a wicket.

Michael Neser to Thomas Rogers, OUT! CAUGHT! Michael Neser has struck twice in the very first over! He drops it short over middle. Thomas Rogers wanted to take the aggressive approach as he tried to pull it on the leg side. He gets an upper edge on the bat sending the ball straight up in the air. Sam Billings calls it from behind the stumps and takes a safe catch with the gloves on around the slip cordon. What a start for the home team!

Mitchell Swepson to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! CAUGHT! Picks the fielder out to the tee and Mitchell Swepson has the big fish here. This is bowled a bit quicker again but pushed fuller and just across off stump. Glenn Maxwell gets in position for the reverse sweep but hits this one in front of square on the off side. The ball goes straight down the throat of Matthew Kuhnemann who makes no mistake and Swepson is delighted, rightly so too.

Matthew Kuhnemann to Marcus Stoinis, OUT! CAUGHT! Would you believe it? Marcus Stoinis with a nothing shot and Melbourne Stars are in heaps of trouble now. A real long hop from Matthew Kuhnemann this, short and outside off, begging tobe put away. Stoinis rocks back but gets caught in two minds, whether to hammer it past extra cover or go over. In the end, he fails to achieve neither of those things and hits it hard to the left of Usman Khawaja who springs up and takes a sharp catch over his left shoulder. Stoinis departs cheaply here.

Mitchell Swepson to Joe Burns, OUT! TIMBER! Ripper of a delivery from Mitchell Swepson and Brisbane Heat have their fifth wicket already. This is pushed through from the front of the hand, quicker again and onto middle. The ball swerves away a touch and skids off the deck. Joe Burns looks to back away and cut but is beaten past the outside edge and the ball knocks over the top of off stump. Swepson picks up his second wicket.

Michael Neser to Hilton Cartwright, SIX MORE! That has gone deep into the stands and we might have a game on our hands after all! This is short and over middle, Hilton Cartwright waits and gets a hold of the pull shot, clobbering it way, way over the square leg fence for a biggie.

Spencer Johnson to Liam Dawson, OUT! CAUGHT! Liam Dawson could have hit that one anywhere but picks out the man in the deep. Spencer Johnson bangs this one in around off, at a fairly comfortable height for the batter. Liam Dawson looks to take on the pull but gets the timing all wrong. The ball goes to the left of deep square leg where Max Bryant reverse-cups it with ease.

Spencer Johnson to Hilton Cartwright, FOUR! A shame for Melbourne Stars that Hilton Cartwright could only face that last ball but he does get it away for a boundary. Short of a length over middle and angling across, Cartwright hangs back and makes some room before muscling it toward cow corner for a boundary.

Paul Walter to Hilton Cartwright, OUT! CAUGHT! Just can't get enough on it and the last hope for Melbourne Stars, Hilton Cartwright is back in the hut as well. Paul Walter bowls this one back of a length and at the hips, angling in a bit. Cartwright pulls it away flat and toward deep square leg. Matthew Kuhnemann there judges it well and goes back to take a fine catch just inside the ropes. End of a decent cameo from Cartwright.

Xavier Bartlett to Usama Mir, OUT! TAKEN! Xavier Bartlett strikes! He bowls it full and slow on the off pole. Usama Mir changes his stance looking to go over the keeper but didn't get the elevation needed. The ball traveled as far as short fine leg man Mitchell Swepson takes a safe catch.

Xavier Bartlett to Joel Paris, OUT! TAKEN! Xavier Bartlett strikes twice in the same over! He bowls another slow ball on length. Joel Paris pulls it towards deep square leg but hasn't got the distance. Paul Walter comes in and takes a nice low catch to dismiss Paris. One wicket to go now for Brisbane Heat.
