What a finish from Thunder! They have got a very handy total. Superb display from Tom Andrews after the half-century by Sam Konstas. Scorchers' spinners were excellent, but should they have bowled more of it? The quicks went round the park at the death. Thunder have three frontline spinners. They could decide this game. Scorchers' season on the line. I'll be back in a few minutes.

Michael: "scorchers have seriously let themselves down here, Thunder will have every intention of taking this now and have all the momentum - should have been under 130."

Adam: "With Tye seemingly long past his best, Scorchers have really struggled bowling at the death. Really hurting their chances this season!"

Susan Perova: "Tricky pitch to bat on but Andrews might have just dragged the Thunder above par here. Put your money on a tight finish! "
