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

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