A look back at yesterday and today's BBL matches, and a large photo gallery.

Swepson gets the single to win it for the Heat off the final ball of the match. For the second time in succession a match goes down to the last scheduled ball still live. The chasing sides won on both occasions, both times levelling the scores on the penultimate ball and then getting a a single. McSweeny 78* (49).
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Two to McSweeney and Heat need two more to win off two balls. The penultimate ball of the match goes for a single to level the scores, but Swepson will be on strike for the final ball of the match. If he scores off it Heat win, otherwise we have a Super Over.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Swepson does his job and gets the single that brings McSweeney on to strike with four needed off three balls.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Bartlett holes out to deep square leg and is 170-7, five needed off four balls, McSweeney at the non-strikers end. Mitch Swepson coming in now, and he has ONE job - get McSweeney back on strike.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

swing and miss makes it five needed off five balls.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

A two and a one to Bartlett to end the 19th. Heat need five to win off the final over, which should be very straightforward, though the single means that McSweeney is off strike.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

A duck for Will Prestwidge, caught behind off J Overton. Heat 167-6, need eight runs off eight balls to win, with Bartlett joining McSweeney.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Runs required dip below balls remaining as McSweeney with the aid of a bit of luck score four off the first ball of the 19th.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

A four, a six and a single in that over, the latter off the final ball, and Heat are 162-5, needing 13 off the last two overs, with McSweeney, 70* (45) on strike. Biffing it in a T20 is a bit different from fronting up to Bumrah with a new ball in his hand in a test match - the latter proved too much for McSweeney.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Will Prestwidge in at number seven for the Heat. Thornton to bowl the 18th over.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Short ends a poor over by taking a return catch to dismiss Walter for 19 (15). Heat 150-5 after 17 overs, need 25 off the last three overs at 8.33, current RR 8.82.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Walter hits the first ball of the 17th over for six, and takes a single off the second to get McSweeney back on strike. A dot ends a sequence of five balls that had yielded 19 runs in total - 4,4,4 to end the 16th and 6,1 to start the 17th. The fourth ball of the over goes for six, a leg bye off the next brings up the 150 after 16.5 overs.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Another four to end the over and the Power Surge, and take McSweeney past 50 off 36 balls. Heat 136-4 after 16 overs, need 39 off the last four at 9.75 per over, current RR 8.50. Heat have scored 22-0 off their two Surge overs, Strikers hit 27 off theirs.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Better over for Heat, but not as yet good enough - eight runs off four balls in it to date, which makes the cumulative Surge score 14-0. The fifth ball goes for four as well, to move it to 18-0 for the Surge.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

dot, dot, one, one, dot so far in this first Power Surge over. Even a boundary of the final ball will still mean a good over for the Strikers. Four off the final ball, and Heat have scored 6-0 from the first Surge over, and are 120-4 after 15 overs, needing 55 off the last five at 11.00, current RR 8.00.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Power Surge has now been taken for overs 15 and 16. The first of this overs will be bowled by J Overtion.
#cricket #T20 #BBL10 #BHvAS

Heat are 114-4 after 14 overs, need 61 off the last six at 10.17 per over, current RR 8.14.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

The four off the fifth ball not withstanding, another decent over for Strikers. Heat are 106-4 after 13 overs, needing 69 off the last seven overs at 9.86, current RR 8.15. Heat have taken the Power Surge for overs 14 and 15.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Lloyd Pope does a fine job of closing out the over after getting the wicket. Heat 98-4 after 12 overs, need 77 off the last eight at 9.625, current RR 8.17. Strikers now favourites.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

A review sees Max Bryant given LBW for 3, Lloyd Pope the successful bowler. Heat 95-4 after 11.2 overs. Enter 'tall Paul' Walter.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Heat are 94-3 after 11 overs, needing 81 more off the last nine at 9.00, current RR 8.55. Very evenly poised right now, although Heat lack depth in batting - after 'tall Paul' Walter, due in next, the rest of their order are mainly bowlers.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

End of the tenth, and Heat are 87-3, needing 88 from the last 10 at 8.80, current RR 8.70. Too close to call - Heat have a Power Surge to come, but McSweeney is not going well, and Max Bryant, the new batter after the dismissal of Renshaw, has faced only one ball.
#cricket #T20 #BBl14 #BHvAS

Massive moment as Renshaw plays on to Lloyd Pope for 54 (27). Heat are 85-3 after 9.4 and that is the drinks break. Heat need 90 off the last 10.2 overs. I am not prepared to say that Strikers are now favourites, but it is too close to call, whereas with Renshaw there Heat were bossing it.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Four more to end the over. Renshaw now 54* (25). Heat 84-2 after nine overs, need 91 from the last 11 at 8.27, current RR 9.33. Heat now clear favourites.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

50 up for Renshaw off just 24 balls. Heat 80-2 in the ninth over.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Fine over spoilt as the last two balls go for eight runs, albeit the six off the final ball was a little lucky since it came courtesy of a Renshaw top edge. Heat 71-2 after eight overs, need 104 from the last 12 at 8.67 per over, current RR 8.875. That six means that for the first time this innings Heat are ahead of the required rate.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Renshaw going superbly now, 34* (17). Heat are 61-2 after seven overs, needing 114 more off the last 13 at 8.77 per over, current RR 8.57.
#cricket #T20 #BBL14 #BHvAS

Six to Renshaw, off Cameron Boyce, the leg spinner who is playing his 100th BBL match. The next ball is a dot, and then comes another six. Two more to end the over, which means that 17 in all have come from it. Heat 51-2 after six overs, need 124 more from the last 14 at 8.86 per over, current RR 8.50. Heat almost back on terms after one huge over.
