9:05pm Ready for the start of the chase. Khawaja is in strike. Hales at the other end. A slip in place for Worrall, who is over the wicket.

8:56pm A one-man effort, almost entirely, for Adelaide Strikers. Jake Weatherald batted through the innings after scoring was hard in the early parts of the innings. Took him a while to figure out the pace of this wicket, and in the end he is the only one from that team who has. An unbeaten 80 out of the 115 in a 14-over game is a solid effort. But it wasn't made easy at all by Sydney Thunder, who had tired them down properly till about the 9th over, when the scoring rate was dipping below 6. They won't mind this chase - and a bonus point at 38 in under 7 overs - after electing to bowl. See you shortly for the chase.
