4.2 to DP Hughes, hits the top of off! That was just outstanding line and length, and Hughes played around it. Topley was bowling cross-seam, so there wasn't any movement. Just some zip off the pitch and Hughes didn't get bat on it with a defensive push. 33/1 17.2 to Babar Azam, another slower one dug into the surface. There is an appeal for caught behind! Turned down on field, but Warner has reviewed immediately. Babar tried to get inside the line of this short ball and shovel it over his shoulder. He misses and the ball ends up in Billings' gloves. But did it take glove on he way through? Snicko says yes. Babar has to go!. 173/2 17.6 to BJ Dwarshuis, that goes hiiigh into the night, but not far enough. This was a fullish ball on the stumps that Dwarshuis tried to flick over the deep square leg boundary. But he gets under it a little too much, and Tanveer Sangha is waiting at the deep backward square boundary to swallow that. 181/3 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 41 | 2 | 10.25 | 11 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 2 | |
19.1 to MC Henriques, caught by Konstas running in from long off. This was off-pace as well, a back-of-the-hand slowie. Henriques doesn't get anywhere near enough contact as he clears the leg and aims a big hit down the ground. Konstas sprints and gets under it with a dive. He's been good in the field today. 190/4 19.4 to JR Philippe, carved to the fielder at deep backward point, who catches it centimetres from the grass. Daniel Sams is the fielder who gets low and makes the catch. But they are checking if that's a clean take. Looks like it's straight into the hands for me. Philippe has to go four short of a hundred.. 195/5 | ||||||||||

0.5 to M Gilkes, stumped! Four, four, four, out. Gilkes takes one risk too many, and he walks past a nicely-flighted delivery outside off. Keeper has a very simple stumping to complete. Murphy is pleased that's over.. 13/1 | ||||||||||

2.2 to SJ Konstas, down the throat of deep backward square. This was a shortish ball at the body that Konstas tried to lift over the legside. Could hardly have picked out that fielder better though. Thunder have two wickets early.. 16/2 2.4 to DA Warner, almost a mirror image of the previous wicket, and Warner is gone! This top order is folding. Another shortish ball at the body from Edwards, which Warner flicks right into the hands of deep backward square. A leftie version of the dismissal two balls ago.. 17/3 11.1 to SW Billings, holed out at long on. The Billings show has to end, and you can't fault him for trying to get Thunder another big over while he is running hot. This was a length ball on the stumps that he tried to launch over long on, but just didn't get the power behind it. Richardson gets under it on the boundary. 94/5 11.5 to DR Sams, another Thunder wicket goes down. This is again a back of a length ball just outside off, which Sams tried to bash through leg. Ends up top edging it, and backward point runs after it to complete the catch. 97/6 17.5 to Shadab Khan, holes out this time. Didn't quite have enough to clear that deep midwicket fielder. This is a slower one again, and roughly the same length as the one that disappeared over long on earlier. But perhaps this was tighter into the stumps, and Shadab couldn't swing through so freely. That's Jack Edwardsfifth wicket in the match too!' He's been devastating with those change-ups.. 143/9 | ||||||||||
| 3.1 | 0 | 14 | 1 | 4.42 | 9 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
19.1 to RJW Topley, that's it. Topley swats one to deep midwicket, who takes a good overhead catch. The fielding in general has been excellent in this game, and this is no exception.. 151/10 | ||||||||||

7.3 to CT Bancroft, Thunder lose their fourth! The wheels are coming off this chase. Takes a little shuffle down the pitch and tries to crash it into the sightscreen. Doesn't get under it enough though, and long on just has a couple of metres to cover to his left, before getting his paws on that one.. 45/4 14.5 to CJ Green, quicker delivery, angled into the stumps. that Green tries to crash through the legside. Gets only a leading edge that finishes in the hands of the cover fielder, however. Davies is pumped.. 122/7 14.6 to N McAndrew, another one goes! Sixers can almost taste their first win of the season. This was a cutter wide of off, which McAndrew tried to work to leg, but the ball took a little extra bounce and took his top edge. The catch floated out towards mid off where it was held by Henriques.. 122/8 | ||||||||||
