and that is it, cutting has belted the Heat to their first win of the season. What a win, slower ball and Cutting finishes it with a powerful drive to the long-off fence

Full commentary
9.33pm What a masterclass in clean hitting we have witnessed today. This was special. Lynn and his Heat can go into the dressing room with a lot of pride, they have also registered their first win of the season. We will not see too many better innings like that, this year. Thunder did drop a few chances but with so much moisture and persistent rain, it was always going to be a hard ask.
Lynn, Man of the Match: Wanted to give it back to the Heat fans, thankfully the rain stayed away. At times we were on and off. I love playing in front of my family and friends. I like the pace of the Gabba wicket."

very good yorker on middle, squeezed to deep square leg
Four needed off six. No D/L needed, can McKay win it or take it to a super over? Heat just one boundary away from their first in of the season

Russell to Lynn, OUT
lovely catch from Green. Lynn is not very happy but he should be. That was sensational. What an innings. Full on off and middle, Lynn lofts the drive to long-on, very high in the air but the fielder at long-on settled under it and takes it, but as he over balances, throws the ball back in and completes the catch.

Russell to Lynn, FOUR runs
top-edged for four. Another good bouncer on off, but Lynn gets enough bat on it this time. Flies over the keeper and into the fine leg fence.

another slower ball outside off, very badly hit in the air to long-on who runs in and cleans up. Has the damage been done?

Sandhu to Lynn, FOUR runs
dropped. Another opportunity goes begging for Thunder. Slog-swept high in the air to long-on, Rohrer misjudges it and comes forward but the ball travels over him, he just gets some hand on it but the ball plonks inside the boundary behind him and trickles into the rope.

Sandhu to Lynn, SIX runs
that will be another monstrous hit. Full and wide outside off, Lynn just lofts it over long-on, made a cracking sound off the bat

Sandhu to Lynn, no run
brave slower ball, difficult to deceive batsmen with slower balls on a skiddy surface. Beaten outside off

Sandhu to Cutting, (no ball) 1 run
very high full toss on middle, heaved away to deep square leg. It may have been dropped at the boundary but doesn't matter because it is a no ball. Free hit coming up.

Sandhu to Cutting, FOUR runs
my word, that is powerful. Slower ball on off, Cutting absolutely belts it back over the bowler. Beware ump. Scoots to the long-on boundary
Sujan: "Switching TV remote fast from one channel to another to watch Chris Lynn thundering innings in BBL and Adventurous batting from Ben stokes in this match....As a cricket fan its not possible for me to switch only one match and watch on...."

misfield and that will be four. Make no mistake, these are not easy conditions to bowl or field. Drilled to cover, where Sandhu moves around and covers too much distance, goes through him for four more runs. Should have done better though despite the moisture.
