10.30pm Credit to the fans for sticking around. Heat batted first and then posted a total that needed Thunder to score at 15 per over in their chase. The rain breaks did not help either team too, but eventually, the difference between the two teams was Tom Banton's fifty - the second-fastest in BBL history. See you tomorrow for more BBL action. Till then, it's goodbye from us

slower ball, back of a length on off, and the attempted pull takes another top edge to the fine-leg fence

Laughlin to Ferguson, OUT

what a way to restart! Good length on off, and he goes for a massive leg-side swipe. In the air for ages, and the crowd thought it was a six too, but the fielder in the deep gets under it to take a smart catch

Callum Ferguson c Swepson b Laughlin 5 (4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 125

10.10pm Thunder need another 55 runs in 17 balls to win. - this is after applying DLS. That means the target will be 77

10.06pm Some of the covers are coming off. Confirmed: It's going to be a 5-over game. Waiting for the DLS-revised total. Play will start at 10.14pm

Mark: "See my suggestion of a declaration wasn't so insane (ok it was slightly insane) "

Baskar: "This rain gives me joy in two ways. For the bush fire first and secondly I missed making Banton the captain in Fantasy."

James: "Any idea how long till its called off, wouldnt be long with losing 4 min an over?" -- Not too long.

10pm It's raining again. And we're going off. We need another 2.5 overs for it to be an official match. Hales and Ferguson were happy to leave the ground. The thing is, there's not too much time in hand. Not the first time this season that a Thunder game gets interrupted at an awkward time. Heavy cover on again

2.1

Laughlin to Ferguson, FOUR runs

good length, on leg stump. Looks to swipe it behind square, but it hits his front leg before rolling away to the boundary
