10.02pm Gilkes is Player of the Match: "That's cricket I guess, nice to get out there and chase it down none-down. We got the better of the conditions, nipping around, a little up and down, Once the dew settled down, it was beautiful."

Hales: "It was amazing, not often as openers we get to take the power surge. It's a long tournament, 14 games, so not end of the world if you don't get off to a flyer. This is the business end now, we feel confident, bowlers bowling well and finding some form with the bat."

And with that. that's a wrap. Thanks for joining us, see you next time!

9.54pm Well, that's one way to atone for the humiliation of 15 all out. Back on the same ground, and a transformed performance from Sydney Thunder. Hales and Gilkes serving up a different brand of humiliation to Brisbane Heat. A ten-wicket tonking, with 49 balls to spare. Easy game! 121 never looked like being competitive, in spite of a two-paced pitch, and once Gilkes had got through his sticky run of form with a range of flowing drives in the powerplay, the result was never in any doubt. Chris Green set the tone with 2 for 14 in four overs, straight through, before Daniel Sams clogged up Heat's intentions at the death.

Jack: "Being a Heat fan is a tough gig Miller. Good one day, utterly useless the next…"

Further to Afeef's comment, here is confirmation of Hales' record as the leading four-scorer in T20 history... a certain Chris Gayle has hit 600 more sixes though!

Hales, with a fifty to reach

Did I say five overs? I suspect two is plenty...
