Billings set up Thunder' score of 196, and that turned out to be enough eventually. They are up to No. 3 in the points table after a comfortable win, with Heat stuck at No. 7. Today's action done, don't forget to join us for the rest of the tournament. Until then, it is a goodbye and goodnight from Binoy, PDP and me, Himanshu!

Saqib Mahmood is the Player of the Match: "Everything was coming together. We started with hard lengths, and get the ball swinging. We [the English guys] were having a chat this morning... I joined the team this Monday itself."

Tom: "What a time to be a Somerset, England and Heat fan...just hope Abell's OK :("

9.54pm A spirited fight from Heat's tailenders, but not enough to get over line against Thunder. All the hosts have managed to do is ensure their net run rate didn't take as much of a battering as expected, as Bartlett and Steketee fought with the bat.

W
T Sangha to Mujeeb, OUT

shout for leg before, and given! Game over. Mujeeb goes for the reverse-sweep first ball, but the ball is on a fullish length on middle, as he misses it completely, with the ball striking him right in front of the stumps. Looked the umpire raised his finger even before Sangha completed the appeal, and so Thunder win by 53 runs

Mujeeb Ur Rahman lbw b T Sangha 0 (1b 0x4 0x6 2m) SR: 0

Mujeeb the new man in. Sangha from over the wicket.

17.2
W
T Sangha to Swepson, OUT

and bowled him next ball! Again he makes tries to make room by getting his front leg out of the way, as the ball is short of a length on off, and slides on with the arm. There was no turn there, as it went on straight to clip off stump. Ninth man gone for Heat, and Sangha has his second

T Sangha to Swepson, FOUR runs

Beats deep point to his left. Makes room to that tossed up ball which is pretty full on middle and off, and lofts that bang

Sams to Steketee, OUT

and the partnership is finally broken! Short of a length ball outside off, and he looked like trying to swat that away to the on side, but the ball bounced a bit too much for his liking since it was banged in pretty short. The ball took the upper half of the bat to extra cover, where Sangha had to take a few steps behind to complete the grab
