Carey run out in the first over for Strikers. He dived to no avail.

I wonder about the exact current wording of the run-out rule regarding the moment the stumps are broken. I thought the old rule was that the exact instant was when a bail became completely detached from any stump. With these fancy lighting bails, I'm not at all sure that's the moment they are lighting.
...

Update:

In the following BBC article, the inventor is quoted as claiming that
"They can be vibrated, knocked, rained upon, but will only flash when both ends are completely dislodged from the stumps."

The article does not really explain how it supposedly works, but I guess if there's a sensor at each end...

More claims, but still no technical details... Is it completely bail-contained, i.e. will regular stumps do?

Some proper cricket!

K. Richardson takes two wickets in two balls, caught behind.

I agree that the second was probably a fair catch. It bounced up, but I think it probably bounced up from the fingers of the gloves into the palms of the gloves.
...

And now Short out at the other end to a short ball! Again, good cricket. (Shaky umpiring, though!)

5/145 (20). George B. 70*. Good recovery.

George is using the odd stance with his back foot drawn back towards the legside.

Big comeback by the Thunder.

The wagon-wheel for McCullum & Lynn looked like it had only 5 off-side shots total. Surely they could have at least tried to force them to score on the off side...

2/34 in the 6th. over.

Rain threatening.

If no more play, the Heat wins on D/L.
