Sydney Thunder won by four wickets but they made it tough for themselves in the second half of the chase with some poor shot selection. The opening stand between Alex Hales and Usman Khawaja set the platform, but they were grateful to the calm head of Alex Ross. Overall, a good game. The Hurricanes batting spluttered for a long while due to some odd tactics but they got a decent score in the end. The win takes the Thunder up to third in the table while things get tougher for the Hurricanes. That's all from here, but you can head over to catch the action from Perth Scorchers against Brisbane Heat in Perth. Enjoy that one and I'll see you again tomorrow. Goodnight!

what is he doing?! Another ridiculous shot, really. Short of a length, he goes to swipe it over the leg side, gets a huge top edge that midwicket settles under

taken at long-on! Is there another twists to come? That's very careless from Morris, just seemed to half-hit that. A full ball and he chips it down the ground
