- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.6 taken at cover! Harper's fun is over. Looking to the leg side again, it's a slower ball, and takes the leading edge as the bat face closes. A simple catch 55/17.6 finds deep midwicket! Was looking for another one down the ground but he dragged this, the bat twists and it comes off the toe end. Big moment for the Thunder. Finch whacks his pad as he walks off 76/216.2 fantastic catch at deep midwicket! Daniel Sams, that's a beauty. Marsh goes for the slog sweep, takes it from quite a way outside off, it's struck nicely and it's skimming towards the boundary before Sams gets across with a full length dive 135/413.5 terrific catch! Nair holds on at deep backward square...Cooper scooped this from outside off, actually connected quite nicely but Nair was able to dive forward to hold on. Good field placement 120/318.2 superbly bowled! Gets the yorker in, takes Christian on the boot. It's an offspinning slower ball, almost dips a little under the bat. Excellent delivery. Follows his superb yorker against Cutting the other night 154/5Extras7 (lb 3, w 4)TOTAL169/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-55 (Sam Harper, 4.6 ov), 2-76 (Aaron Finch, 7.6 ov), 3-120 (Tom Cooper, 13.5 ov), 4-135 (Shaun Marsh, 16.2 ov), 5-154 (Dan Christian, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR16.2 taken at deep midwicket! He struck that so sweetly, but Richardson barely had to move. Gurney had come back over the wicket, it was full and straight, Hales just wanted to keep going 147/311.5 finds cover! Full outside off, doesn't quite get to the pitch, grabbed high above his head bu the captain 99/114.1 given lbw! Well, not sure about that. Back of a length, straight, seems to take him reasonably high. Maybe not, we'll need a replay. Was pretty close either way. Clipping the bails, so technically correct! 122/219.3 has he been run out? Yes, well out! It was a short ball down the leg side, he missed the pull...Harper, who hurls his glove glove off, threw to the non-striker's end where Gleeson collected, then rolled the ball into the stumps. He's well short 167/4Extras7 (lb 3, w 4)TOTAL171/4 (19.4 Overs, RR: 8.69)Fall of wickets: 1-99 (Usman Khawaja, 11.5 ov), 2-122 (Callum Ferguson, 14.1 ov), 3-147 (Alex Hales, 16.2 ov), 4-167 (Matthew Gilkes, 19.3 ov)
