9.31 pm It's all over. Match called as the rain gets heavier. Thunder win by 7 runs on DLS behind an assured knock from Khawaja in the chase who outduels Marsh's first innings fifty. Thunder have won five in a row now. Renegades have lost five of six. That's it from us today. Come back tomorrow for a BBL doubleheader. Take care!

9.22 pm The umpires have decided it's gotten too heavy for play to continue. Play halted again. Only five overs left in the already reduced match.

DLS Par now 110 at the end of the over, so Thunder 7 ahead as the drizzle continues to thicken.
