- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.3 edged and taken by the keeper even as the ball sharply dipped on him. Short of a length and just a shade outside off, not enough room for Watson to cut it away in front of square. He can only snick it low to the keeper 45/22.5 Sangha holes out to deep third man. Dug in short and rises outside off, Sangha can't rise on top of it. He chases an upper-cut and scythes it away straight into the lap of O'Keefe 25/113.5 Ferguson slogs again, but picks out deep midwicket. O'Keefe dangles it up, shifts his lines wider, Ferguson hacks it across the break, but can't clear the boundary 84/315.1 Full and outside off, Devcich shuffles across off and simply scoops it into straight into the hands of O'Keefe at short fine leg. He never really got going today. Abbott puts him out of his misery 90/416.5 low full-toss on off stump, Sams simply hoicks it away to Abbott at long-on. The Thunder continue to slump at the SCG 102/517.6 nice and full on middle, right in the slot to be dispatched, but Jordan only skies it in the air. Sublime catch in the outfield. Curran tears across to his left from long-on, tumbles, and grasps the ball 108/6Extras6 (b 1, lb 3, w 2)TOTAL128/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.4)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Jason Sangha, 2.5 ov), 2-45 (Shane Watson, 7.3 ov), 3-84 (Callum Ferguson, 13.5 ov), 4-90 (Anton Devcich, 15.1 ov), 5-102 (Daniel Sams, 16.5 ov), 6-108 (Chris Jordan, 17.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.1 What have you done, Phillipe? Horrible mix-up between the wickets. Shorter and outside off as he uses his feet and stabs the ball away to the left of Cook in the direction of mid-off. Phillipe is more than halfway down the pitch. He has to undo his steps swiftly as mid-off hunts the ball down and throws it to the keeper who catches Phillipe short. Worst possible start for the Sixers. You can't take on Jordan's arm, and not even a full-stretch dive could save Phillipe 0/1Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL85/1 (10.3 Overs, RR: 8.09)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Josh Philippe, 0.1 ov)
