Both Hobart and Brisbane have suffered a defeat in their openers which mean one of the two will register their first points in the fifth edition of the Big Bash League. The requirements are straightforward for both teams. Hobart needs its batting unit to fire harder and more effectively while for Brisbane, it is the bowling unit which will be under the scanner.

Hello and welcome to our live blog for the 7th game of the BBL 2015-16 between hosts Hobart Hurricanes and Brisbane Heat.

Hosts Hobart have won the toss and opted to bat first.

Hobart Hurricanes: Tim Paine(w/c), Ben Dunk, Kumar Sangakkara, George Bailey, Daniel Christian, Jonathan Wells, Darren Sammy, Clive Rose, Cameron Boyce, Sam Rainbird, Shaun Tait

Brisbane Heat: Lendl Simmons, Jimmy Peirson(w), Peter Forrest, Chris Lynn(c), Nathan Reardon, Ben Cutting, Jason Floros, James Hopes, Josh Lalor, Samuel Badree, Andrew Fekete

Paine's chance to pep up the run rate now. Two boundaries in the 11th over which resulted in 11 runs and with that Paine moves to 48. The duo are in a race to bring up their fifties. Let's see who wins. Brisbane, meanwhile, need to break this stand before its too late. Run rate over 8 already.

All set for the first innings. Hobart's Ben Dunk and skipper Tim Paine walk out to open the innings. Chris Lynn leads his team on to the field. They'll start proceedings with Josh Lalor.

Boundary past cover-point to bring up the first four of the game and Paine wraps up the over from Lalor with a massive hit into the stands.

Oh Wait! And here is the first wicket for the visitors. Non-striker Paine called for a single off the last but Dunk responded late. Direct hit at the non-strikers end and Dunk has to walk back.

First bowling change from Brisbane and Paine welcomes Andrew Fekete with another massive hit for maximum. Terrific pull shot, over the square-leg boundary- SIX. The fun is not over though - finishes the over with a boundary. Easy runs there for the home side. Sanga gets his first Boundary too, in the sixth over. Hobart 47 for 1 after their powerplay overs.

Just when it looked like things were slowing down a bit for the hosts, Sangakkara displays his class with a lovely cover drive. Gets on to his knees, nicely timed, pierces the gap between the two men in deep cover region.

Kumar Sangakkara is the new man in.

Sanga brings the fifty-run stand for the second wicket with Tim Paine with a single off Samuel Badree. Follows it up with another big over - hitting James Hopes for 14- inclusive of two boundaries. He's moved into his 40s.

Oh boy! First over for Ben Cutting and he provides a breakthrough. Well judged catch by Lendl Simmons to put an end to Sanga's cameo. What a crucial wicket this. Important stand for the home team, but Sanga falls seven short of a deserving fifty.

George Bailey, the ex captain, is the new man in. Meanwhile, 100 comes up for Hobart.

Hobart skipper brings up his fifty with a single off Ben Cutting. They have lost a crucial wicket though in this over. Can Bailey carry forward the momentum along with his skipper to guide their team to a winning total?

James Hopes comes back for his third over and Bailey is in the mood for some fun. Three consecutive boundaries - 15 off the over. Good one for Hobart. Badree come back to bowl his final one and Bailey slams him for a huge six over long-on. Beautiful shot. Paine brings up team's 150 with a boundary in the same over.
