Peter Siddle to Billy Stanlake. Back of a length, down leg side on the back foot flick, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to short mid wicket for 1 run. That brings the first innings to a close. The home side, after winning the bat flip, chose to bowl first and have done well to restrict the Hobart Hurricanes to a competitive total. Ben McDermott stood out with a superb 69, while a handy contribution from Tim David helped push the score along. However, the Hurricanes may feel they fell a few runs short, particularly after not fully capitalising on the Power Surge. Peter Siddle was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets, while Marcus Stoinis and Haris Rauf claimed two wickets each. Join us shortly for the run chase.
