7.3 to BCJ Cutting, skied miles up in the air, and Wells at cover settles underneath it. Agar removes Cutting. Back-of-a-length and straight, slightly slower, and Cutting was through the shot early. 64/1 19.5 to M Gilkes, holes out, brilliant effort from Renshaw! On a length towards the hip, pulled away, and Renshaw runs in from deep backward square, dives forwards, and scoops it up just before it hits the turf. Hold on, Gilkes isn't heading off just yet. Did the ball touch the ground as Renshaw came forward? He's off now, but the replays suggest that was slightly dubious.... 172/6 19.6 to CJ Green, looks to slog down the ground but skies it straight up to cover, where Wells settles underneath a straightforward catch. 172/7
Peter Siddle	4	0	36	3	9.00	9	4	1	0	0
12.3 to SW Billings, wide on the crease, hacked down the ground... straight down long-on's throat! Mid-on had been up inside the circle but Siddle moved fine leg up and pushed Kelly back to the rope. Looked like a slower ball, rolling his fingers down in. Billings smashes his pad with his bat and lets out a grunt of frustration. 97/3 16.6 to O Davies, yorked! 87mph/141kph, pinned on the boot right in front of the stumps, and Davies' fun comes to an end. The old-school sandshoe crusher. 140/4 18.1 to DR Sams, cleans him up! Inch-perfect yorker and the stumps are rearranged. 86mph/139kph, dipping underneath Sams' bat, and Siddle is on a hat-trick. 154/5
Fawad Ahmed	4	0	51	0	12.75	2	3	3	0	0
Rashid Khan	4	0	26	1	6.50	9	3	0	0	0
9.3 to JJS Sangha, top-edged sweep, straight to Fawad at short fine! Rashid Khan gets the in-form Sangha. Looked like he was surprised by the extra bounce. Sangha got the better of Rashid on New Year's Eve but loses the head-to-head battle tonight. 73/2

Saqib Mahmood	4	0	44	2	11.00	8	7	0	2	0
14.1 to Rashid Khan, on a length outside off, miscued into the off side and Cook, the sub fielder, runs back to take the catch! Looking for a helicopter-style loft over the covers but his timing was off, and Cook settled underneath it. Rashid's struggles with the bat this season continue.... 111/7 18.4 to PM Siddle, knocks him over! Perfect leg-stump yorker from Mahmood at 88mph/141kph, far too good for Siddle. Pegs back the stumps and the Thunder are closing in on another impressive win. 140/9
Gurinder Sandhu	2	0	14	0	7.00	5	2	0	0	0
Mohammad Hasnain	4	1	20	3	5.00	14	1	1	1	0
2.2 to MW Short, picks out deep backward square! Hasnain strikes with his second ball. Wasn't the best one he'll ever bowl, in the slot and angling in towards the stumps, but Short looked to flick him wristily over the leg side and picked out Sams at deep backward square, who hardly had to move. 25/1 2.3 to J Weatherald, fast, full, swinging, and Hasnain has two in two! Weatherald thought there would be some width outside off and shaped to drive but this swung viciously, hooping back to pin him on the pad. Up went the finger, and Hasnain is on a hat-trick!. 25/2 2.5 to JW Wells, screamer at short midwicket, Hasnain has three in four! Cutting with a blinder. Back-of-a-length, Wells looked to pull off the hip but was rushed for pace, and Cutting, in very tight, gobbles up the chance. Strikers capitulating against the pace of Hasnain. 25/3
Daniel Sams	4	0	26	1	6.50	8	1	0	5	0
17.6 to WA Agar, gets his man. Sams finishes his spell with a wicket. Angled into the pads, Agar looks to swing the slower ball away but gets a leading edge on it. Comes down with snow on it, and Green settles underneath it at long-on before sprinting round to the far end of the ground with one eye on the Thunder's over-rate. 135/8
Chris Green	3.1	0	22	1	6.94	6	2	0	0	0
19.1 to HJ Nielsen, wide outside off, looks to go big over the off side. Cutting races in from long-off and dives forward, sliding on his knees, and clings onto it, scooping it up just before it hits the turf! Great catch to finish a strong team performance from the Thunder. 144/10
Jason Sangha	2	0	16	2	8.00	2	1	0	0	0
6.6 to HJ Hunt, beaten in the flight, Billings whips off the bails! Hunt has struggled throughout this innings. He skips down, looking to force the issue by driving through cover, but is beaten by Sangha and Billings does the rest. 50/4 8.6 to MT Renshaw, googly, on a length, Renshaw looks to heave six over midwicket. "That's out," predicts Billings as Green settles underneath it at long-on. And he's right, throwing it up in the air in celebration. Strikers are five down and sinking towards another disappointing defeat. 65/5
