11:26 AM
Gurinder Sandhu to Cartwright, FOUR, slower short one, Cartwright delays the pull, and cocks his wrists at the right moment to knock it away with a pull down to backward square leg for four - that brings this game to a premature close, as the Stars own this game with 17 balls to spare!
FOUR
11:25 AM
Gurinder Sandhu to Cartwright, wide, that's a bit of a downer! Far too wide outside off, and that's left alone

11:24 AM
McAndrew to Russell, no run, DOT BALL! A short one across the batsman, who clears his leg to cart that over cow corner, but he's early into that, and gets an under-edge into his boot
over-break
11:23 AM
McAndrew to Cartwright, 1 run, doesn't time that too well, a short one into the body, gets a top-edge to fine leg for a single as the fielder comes around to cut that off...
11:22 AM
McAndrew to Cartwright, no run, another short one, is that over the head? Not quite. One for the over.
11:22 AM
McAndrew to Cartwright, SIX, MASSIVE! Three to win now, as he shuffles across and lays into a hook to a short ball, leathering it over deep backward square leg for six!
SIX
11:21 AM
McAndrew to Cartwright, SIX, short of a length and into the body, Cartwright has clubbed that in front of deep square leg for six! A testament to just how early he's picked the length
SIX
11:20 AM
McAndrew to Cartwright, no run, back of a length and into leg-stump, Cartwright has a go at the swivel-pull but that's not nearly short enough, misses, and that's zoomed into the pads

Gurinder Sandhu to Russell, SIX, that's short and into the body, Russell has a go at the lofted pull, no attempt to keep it down, and that's Sams taking a catch at the boundary. Throws himself off his feet, looks like he's stepped on the padding whilst in contact with the ball. The soft signal is OUT, as Sams parries it back to Green for the catch. Sams, on his chest, looks disappointed with himself. Looks like this is going to be six. That's right - the TV umpire's taken an age to take a call, and that's SIX. Russell continues to make short work of this total...

Key Moments

11:34 AM
Now then, a massive win for the Stars, but it could have been a lot closer if not for Russell's fireworks. This certainly does them some good in their attempt to leap into the top half of the table, but they need some more consistency and less dependence on one-man shows. That's it from us at Cricbuzz, and our Sunday BBL coverage. Cheerio!
