8.53pm Innings break Ellis is arguing with both umpires about the no-ball call and he has a point. Warner finishes 88 not out off 66. He was hardly fluent. But he held the innings together. That is short of the average winning first innings score here which is 171. But the Hurricanes might be without Ben McDermott in the chase. Gnasher will be back for the start of it.
Free hit

Jay: "it's not like 70 odd at 125+ SR is bad. he's a good anchor when he wants to be " With the impact sub in the IPL now, no one picks an anchor any more

Phani: "Why did Warner go unsold at IPL this season?Definitely one of the greats of IPL and surely best overseas player.Quite fit, athletic fielder, captaincy material...just the age alone is the reason?" Strike-rate a major issue. He's not the power hitter he used to be. Plays quite a low risk brand now

Rayen: "Cant understand what is Thunders doing here. Had a set Billings and didn't take surge. Takes the surge right after his dismissal with Green in. At least Christian should have been in"
