reverse-swinging yorker from Mahmood in the channel outside off stump. Beats Fawad on the outside edge as he prods forward

knocks him over! Perfect leg-stump yorker from Mahmood at 88mph/141kph, far too good for Siddle. Pegs back the stumps and the Thunder are closing in on another impressive win

back of a length, Siddle throws the kitchen sink at it and top-edges it over Billings for a one-bounce four! Uses the pace on the ball to his advantage

on a length, Siddle backs away looking to flay one through the off side but can't lay bat on ball. Can't have missed off stump by much!

skiddy, 88mph/141kph on a length, whipped out to midwicket

gets his man. Sams finishes his spell with a wicket. Angled into the pads, Agar looks to swing the slower ball away but gets a leading edge on it.

another slower ball, Nielsen shuffles across to lap him but can only dink it out towards fine leg due to the lack of pace
