14.3 to PSP Handscomb, tries to repeat the same stroke but this one's slanted across him. He's perhaps too much leg side of it and skews it in the air off the toe end of the bat in the air. McClenaghan runs back and snaffles it smartly with a dive forward. 104/4

16.4 to SE Gotch, short ball, slapped straight into the hands of point. That's catching practice for Khawaja. He had rolled his fingers over the seam, and Gotch doesn't the drop in pace. 123/5

6.3 to KP Pietersen, Lenton excitedly appeals for a catch and Pietersen stands his ground. The umpire gives it out. Pietersen swings big across the line.This one's pushed across and he is expecting it to spin into him.But it simply keeps getting away from him as it comes on with the arm and takes the outside edge. 52/2
17.2 to JP Faulkner, swings across the line and the ball goes straight through. Full and straight, Faulkner expects it to be slanted across more to give him the room as he misses and the ball smashes into the stumps. 124/6

3.1 to BR Dunk, a full ball, Dunk tries to clip it but the ball stops on him a bit and he chips it in the air as mid-on settles under it. 29/1
402917.25810
7.2 to GJ Maxwell, oh, what a dream delivery> Is that the ball of the season or what? Maxwell has no clue about it. He's drawn forward by a length ball and the ball spins into him to beat the inside edge and clatter into the stumps. 55/3

15.2 to CJ Green, short ball, could have been the slower one and Green drags a pull straight to mid-off. What an antithetical innings from Green to the rest of the Thunder batting performance! Four off 13. 135/3

8.2 to UT Khawaja, gets down for a reverse sweep but it's to the wrong length. A bit of bounce results in a top-edge that's taken at short third man. 85/1
10.3 to JM Vince, flattens the trajectory and Vince charges down the ground and blindly swipes across the line. Think it was the wrong'un. Gets beaten and the keeper competes a simple stumping. Well-bowled. 102/2
