So Jono Wells has helped the Strikers to 161. That feels about par and it should be a good chase. A strong Strikers bowling attack against a confident Thunder. Super innings from Wells when the innings looked like losing its way following two wickets in an over for Chris Morris. I'll be back in a few minutes for the chase.
