The Renegades have posted 169. It's a decent total but less than seemed likely - they were kept to 80 off the last 10. The Thunder did well to stay in the game. No half-centuries, but they only had three all last season. The bowlers held it together after the powerplay onslaught. I'll be back in a few minutes for the chase.

Sams to Christian, OUT, superbly bowled! Gets the yorker in, takes Christian on the boot. It's an offspinning slower ball, almost dips a little under the bat. Excellent delivery. Follows his superb yorker against Cutting the other night

Chris: "Where does Marsh's T20 average of nearly 40 rank amongst all-comers?" Here are the all-time T20 averages (minimum 20 innings). Marsh just outside the top 10, but a lot more matches than many above him

safdar akbar: "greetings from a pakistani in dubai.....i heard about news on social media yesterday that melbourne signed a local bowler HARIS RAUF also playing for LQ in PSL can you please tell me about." Here are the details

16.6
1
Nair to Christian, 1 run, short of a length, pushed to the covers so he keeps the strike
16.5
2
Nair to Christian, 2 runs, fuller, wider outside off, more nice placement as he drives this wide of long-off
16.4

Nair to Christian, FOUR, short outside off, that's wonderful placement from Christian as he square drives through point
16.3
1
Nair to Webster, 1 run, very full, dug out into midwicket

The catch went to deep midwicket so quickly the batsmen didn't cross

16.2
W
Nair to Marsh, OUT, fantastic catch at deep midwicket! Daniel Sams, that's a beauty. Marsh goes for the slog sweep, takes it from quite a way outside off, it's struck nicely and it's skimming towards the boundary before Sams gets across with a full length dive

SE Marsh c Sams b Nair 42 (33b 5x4 1x6) SR: 127.27

16.1

Nair to Christian, 1 run, down the pitch, this is a bit of a heave out to deep midwicket
