13.6 to DR Sams, huge appeal, and that is absolutely plumb! Sizzling yorker on middle and off. Sams, having shuffled across, is not quite expected this sort of delivery. Too late in bringing his bat down and gets pinned on the boot, right in front of the stumps. Sams has reviewed this because, well, why not. More in hope than anything else. First things first, it is not a No ball. No bat involved either. It is missing off stump, and it is missing leg stump too because it is absolutely thundering into middle stump, one-third of the way up! Sams walks back, and takes a review along with him!. 92/6
Patrick Dooley	4	0	33	2	8.25	9	3	1	0	0
2.6 to AD Hales, stumped by a mile! Tossed up on a length outside off. Hales looks at the flight and comes down the track, trying to go inside out. Gets nowhere close to the pitch of the ball, though, as it goes past the outside edge. Wade does the rest and Hales will be hugely disappointed with that stroke!. 20/1 18.1 to GS Sandhu, holes out to deep square leg! Darted into the pads and that ought to have travelled. Sandhu swings hard at it and gets decent contact but not enough elevation to clear Meredith, who times his jump to perfection and takes a smart catch over his head!. 128/8
Chris Jordan	4	0	20	2	5.00	9	1	0	0	0
7.2 to O Davies, straight up, and the Sydney Thunder are four down! Full and wide outside off, asking Davies to fetch it and go across the line. Davies takes up the challenge but fails miserably. Slices across the line and the ball goes straight up. Anderson settles under it at extra cover and does the rest!. 51/4 12.3 to AI Ross, edged and taken! The Power Surge brings a wicket! Length in the channel. Ross tries to dab it down to third man, using the bowler's pace but his stroke lacks conviction. Makes a half-hearted attempted in the end, and can only guide it through to Wade. There was not a lot of room to work with either, and that is just what the Hurricanes would have wanted at this stage!. 81/5
Nikhil Chaudhary	4	0	26	2	6.50	8	2	0	1	0
4.6 to CT Bancroft, straight at Chaudhary, and he has the big fish! Given a hint of air on a full length on off stump. Bancroft looks to drive down the ground but cannot keep it down. Chips it back at Chaudhary, who holds onto a sharp chance over his right shoulder. The Hurricanes keep chipping away!. 33/3 14.2 to N McAndrew, another massive appeal, and another thigh-five celebration for Chaudhary! Slider on a length on middle and off. McAndrew seems to play the trajectory rather than the length, and goes back. The ball skids through and raps McAndrew on the back pad. The umpire raises his finger, and the Thunder are now seven down!. 96/7

16.1 to M Wright, picks out long off to perfection! Off-pace on a length outside off. Wright wants to go inside out, possibly over long off. Does not go through with it fully, though, and all he does is offer some catching practice to Hales. A wicket too late for the Sydney Thunder?. 132/3

6.5 to MS Wade, Wade perishes! Sangha dangles the carrot outside off, and Wade bites. Tries to smash it into next week but loses his shape completely. Tugs at it and skies it towards long on. Green completes the catch, and the Thunder have their first wicket!. 47/1
Nathan McAndrew	3.1	0	21	1	6.63	10	0	2	1	0
7.1 to CP Jewell, has Sams taken it cleanly at deep mid wicket?! He is unsure! Hard length outside off. Comes onto Jewell a little quicker than he expects and he cloths it. Sams loses it in the lights initially but then recovers well to stoop down low and get his fingers under it. The third umpire does take a look, although it does seem that Sams has done just enough. The man who matters agrees with that assessment, and Jewell has to go!. 47/2
