10.05pm Melbourne Stars couldn't have asked for a better start to their campaign. They were thrown off guard on the field, courtesy Paine and Bailey, after a dream start, but their batsmen have made lightwork of a potentially tough chase. Maxwell, who didn't play in the New Zealand series, has shown glimpses of his destructive best. But the start of the night was Quiney. Some hitting from him to raze this target down. This is also unusual from Stars, who've started slowly in the past. This should set things up nicely.

Broad to Maxwell, FOUR runs

it's all over. Full toss outside off, he backs away and slaps that over cover. How easily have they chased this down? Beauty of a wicket, and the crowds have got their monies worth

17.3
1lb
Broad to Faulkner, 1 leg bye

bang a length ball into middle and leg, Faulkner backs away to play but is hit high on the thigh pad and they scamper a run. Broad ran to his right and fired a throw at the bowler's end, hit direct too but the batsman was well in

17.2
W
Broad to Hussey, OUT

stunner at midwicket. Hussey picked the bones out of that short ball, but Sangakkara, throwing himself to his right like a goal keeper, pulled off a one-handed catch. That was hit with some power. Wow, Sangakkara shows no sign of pain. That surely must sting for a while though.

Broad to Hussey, no run

can't squeeze that past the bowler. Yorker length outside off, digs it out and Broad fires a throw in frustration at the striker's end

Tait to Maxwell, FOUR runs

bowls another leg stump half-volley, which Maxwell has flicked between deep square and deep midwicket. This is sensational stuff. Just a roll of the wrists and the ball raced away

16.5
4
Tait to Maxwell, FOUR runs

short, and he's crunched that one bounce into the deep midwicket boundary. Ricky Ponting would have been proud of that. Picked the length early, transferred the weight back, and boom!

16.4
2
Tait to Maxwell, 2 runs

turns a yorker length delivery outside off towards the man coming in from long on

16.3

Tait to Maxwell, FOUR runs

so, so clever. Too full again, this time Maxwell goes over the infield. No risk if you can muscle the ball like Maxwell does. Top shot

16.2
4
Tait to Maxwell, FOUR runs

no chance for mid-off. That was simply smashed with immense power. Too full, Maxwell drilled it and knew straightaway that it was four

16.1
1lb
Tait to Hussey, 1 leg bye

gets the yorker to tail back in to strike Hussey on his right foot as he looks to swing across the line, they'll take a leg bye

15.4
4
Broad to Maxwell, FOUR runs

backs away to flick, but gets an inside edge that flies between his legs and into the fine leg boundary. Broad beat him in this mini-contest, but still saw the ball race into the boundary. Anguish, I tell you

15.3
W
Broad to Quiney, OUT

pulled but the bottom hand came off the grip, which meant he didn't generate the kind of power he would have liked. Turns out to be a simple catch for deep midwicket. It was a slower delivery as well, which meant Quiney had to force the pace, but he got this off the toe end too. Has the wicket come a little too late, though? Super knock from Quiney

Broad to Quiney, no run

excellent yorker, right into the blockhole which the batsman couldn't get underneath as he tried to deflect it behind square

15.1
1
Broad to Maxwell, 1 run

steered into the deep point region

Here's Broad. Looks like both Hurricanes men's and women's team will finish on the losing side

Kingston to Quiney, 1 run

slower delivery on leg stump, he gets a thick inside edge that rolls to the off side and they take a single

Kingston to Quiney, SIX runs

another biggie, this time over deep midwicket. Full swing of the arms as he deposits that legstump half-volley into the stands

14.3
Kingston to Quiney, no run

run out opportunity missed. Quiney was on the floor as he tried to negotiate that full delivery. Then he hared halfway down the pitch in anticipation of a single, only to be sent back. The bowler went across and hurled a throw at the striker's end even as Quiney dived, but missed
