8.16pm Thunder will take 196, although they would think 200-plus looked more than possible at one stage. Credit to Billings for providing that boost in the middle overs - his knock of 64 took only 27 deliveries, and included five fours and sixes each - as the top three also chipped in with crucial contributions. A few late wickets for Thunder to stall their run, but Heat wouldn't mind chasing 197 after pretty much all their bowlers chipped in. Join us for the chase in ten to see where this one goes.

Steketee to Cutting, OUT, much easier catch by Pierson, and Thunder fall short of 200! Short of a length ball outside off, and climbing on to the batter. He made room to try and heave to the off side, but got that off the top edge while trying to fling it away. The ball went right up into the night sky, as the keeper took a few steps to his right to sit under it

Steketee to Cutting, no run, slower ball, and beaten by the lack of pace. Short of a length ball outside off at only 108kph, and he tries to pull but gets that off the bottom edge to the right of the bowler

Steketee to McAndrew, 1 run, low full-toss - nearly a yorker - on middle and leg, and pushed down to long-on
McAndrew in now. Bartlett over the wicket.

Steketee to Ross, OUT, excellent take by Pierson! He sticks his left mitt out, and snatches that out of thins air while diving to his left. That is very good reflexes from the keeper. He wasn't distracted by the batter's movements back and across, as Ross finally scooped that fullish ball outside off, but that seemed to have come off the inside half of the bat

Over the stumps to Ross too
