STA vs REN Live Cricket Score

8.3 OUT! TIMBER! The middle stump is uprooted and Nic Maddinson is having a ball with the ball! He is on fire. His third wicket and the well-set Travis Dean is out of here! This is fractionally short. It skids through. Dean looks to pull but the length is not as short as he felt. He misses and the middle pole is hit. Melbourne Stars now in a spot of bother. 54/3

2.1 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! What has happened there! First it looked like a bump ball but Justin Avendano started to walk back! A tossed up ball, on middle. Justin Avendano tries to flick it but closes his bat face too early. It takes a leading edge back to Nic Maddinson who takes an easy catch and Melbourne Renegades get the first breakthrough. 13/1

6.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The skipper strikes again. There is turn in the surface and Nic Maddinson is getting the breakthroughs for his team. This is flatter and outside off, the ball lands and turns away from the right-hander. Charlie Wakim looks to drive but gets an outside edge to Sam Harper who fumbles a little but gobbles it up. 43/2

9.5 OUT! TAKEN! Maxwell walks back and that is a body blow for the Stars! They needed him to fire but he falls for a low score. The ploy to get Topley on works wonders! He bangs it short and on middle, Maxwell looks to pull, he fails to get on top of the bounce. It goes towards deep square leg. Mackenzie Harvey runs and takes a good catch with a dive forward. Melbourne Renegades now well and truly on top. 61/4

19.1 OUT! TAKEN! Good catch by Mackenzie Harvey, he knew where the rope was. A length ball, on middle. Cartwright hits it flat and hard towards deep square leg where Mackenzie Harvey takes a well-judged catch. A good innings from Hilton Cartwright comes to an end. 117/9

11.5 OUT! TAKEN! Rowe now has to walk back! Half the side back in the hut for the Stars! Jack Prestwidge gets a wicket. A soft dismissal. On middle, Rowe looks to flick, this one holds in the surface a touch. He is early in the shot. It goes uppishly towards mid-wicket. Mackenzie Harvey takes another catch. 68/5

13.3 OUT! TAKEN! That is a lovely catch! Shaun Marsh back into the side and the his first contribution is a good catch. Tom O'Connell falls after dotting the first two balls. The pressure was getting to him. It was a slower one, fuller and on off. He looks to go over covers. He is way too early in the shot. Hits it straight up in the air towards cover. Shaun Marsh runs back and takes it with a dive forward. Now there is not a lot of batting to come. 72/6

17 OUT! TAKEN! Infact it is a wicket maiden! Richardson you beauty! That is a tame end to an innings which started brilliantly. Richardson though gets his revenge. Shorter and on off, Ahmad looks to heave it but only manages to slice it up in the air towards cover. It is taken by the fielder there. Shaun Marsh is the fielder. 99/7

18.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Kane Richardson gets his third wicket now. A length ball, angling outside off. Couch tries to push at it but gets an outside edge to Sam Harper, behind the sticks who dives forward and completes the catch. Brody Couch goes for a duck. Haris Rauf walks out now. 109/8

20 OUT! TIMBER! Wicket to end the innings and Reece Topley end with a three-fer! A yorker, around off. Haris Rauf swings his blade around but fails to connect. The ball kisses the off pole and Melbourne Stars are all out on 126. 126/10

1.5 OUT! STUMPING! Patrick Rowe somehow flicked the bails off. The rookie with his first contribution behind the stumps. This was full and outside off, Ahmad gives more flight and makes it turn away from Harper who skips down to go big but misses. Patrick Rowe fumbles a bit but does enough to handle the ball and clip the bails off. 10/1

12 OUT! TAKEN! A full toss, around waist height. Finch thumps it towards long on, it was looking like it will clear the ropes but Rauf there tracks back and takes it. His momentum was taking him over the ropes, so he lobs it, comes back into the play and catches it. The umpire tells Finch to wait and checks if the catch is clear cut. The big screen shows OUT and the MCG roars. No conclusive evidence and there is a little twist in the contest. 90/4

9.1 OUT! TAKEN! Ahmed Daniyal picks his first wicket for the Stars and they get the much-needed breakthrough. On a length, on the pads. Shaun Marsh pulls it but does not middle it. The ball goes more off the slice and towards deep backward square leg. Brody Couch runs forward and takes a sharp catch. Stars will look to build on this. 73/2

11.1 OUT! LBW! Nic Maddinson is not happy as he thinks it is missing leg. Flatter, slower in the air and on middle and leg. Maddinson gets low and looks to pull but misses and gets rapped on the pads. An appeal and the umpire takes time before raising his finger. Tom O'Connell gets the wicket, can he scalp more in quick succession? That was pitching outside leg. 87/3

12.2 OUT! TIMBER! Rauf now with the big wicket of Mohammad Nabi who bags a first-baller and the Stars now surely in it. Rauf has got his team back, first with a lovely catch to get rid of Finch and now a beauty of a delivery. On a length, this is at 148 KPH. It jags back in. Nabi is beaten for pace as he is late in getting his bat down. It hits the off pole. Rauf is on cloud 9. 91/5
