Abbott to Maxwell, out Bowled!! He drags it on! A wide yorker attempted, a little too full, Maxwell reaches out and tries clubbing that through the off-side, gets an under-edge onto the stumps. A terrific innings by Maxwell to get the Stars on course to an above-par score, but I'm not entirely sure above-par is enough at this stage, in a crucial encounter.
