7.46pm Innings break 5 for 152 for the Scorchers. The average score at Manuka Oval is 163. But they did well after a poor start. Mitch Marsh was excellent. Probably needed a bit more of the strike late but Bancroft kept getting twos. Good bowling performance from the Thunder. Adam Milne was outstanding.
Michael : "As a Kiwi it was fantastic to watch Adam Milne back bowling so well. 5 years now since his great World Cup so many injuries but still young"
Ahmed: "Big Milne fan! Solidd from him today, hopefully keeps it up and fingers crossed doesn't hurt himself again. Would be awesome to see him back playing for Black Caps."
