8.47pm Innings break Well bowled by Meredith at the end. Both sides will be pleased with that. The Thunder let a good start slip but a brilliant innings from Billings and a superb Power Surge got them up to a decent total. The Hurricanes were in trouble until Boland took three in an over. Meredith and Lamichhane were miserly.

Stuart: "If Meredith keeps bowling at this pace he's sure to get a gig with the Aussie team soon enough. Furious pace" Not a matter of if, Stuart, just when. He will almost certainly go to New Zealand next month.

Jazz: "If nobody else has yet, I would like to proclaim myself as president of the Riley Meredith fan club. Moustaches and fast bowling is everything to me " Looking forward to it being ratified at the first AGM, Jazz.
