- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.1 slashed to third man and SO'K takes a great catch! Banged in on a length, Khawaja throws everything he has at it, and it flies away. It looked for all money like it would fly away for six, but O'Keefe back-pedalled and clung onto the chance, diving back to his right 37/118.5 short, Hales swats at it, and picks out Silk at deep square! Brings an epic innings to an end. Banged in, very short at the right shoulder, and Silk ran in off the rope to take a good catch diving forward. Adelaide Oval stands to applaud Hales, and he gets high-fives galore in the dugout. Big smile on his face 213/49.4 holes out to deep midwicket where Silk takes it, throws it up to himself as he regains his balance, and snaffles it second time around! Looked for another slog sweep into the stands but more than a hint of top edge this time. Silk made that look very simple but it needed good awareness and a safe pair of hands 106/214.6 picks out Christian diving forwards at long-on! Dwarshuis' slower ball does the job this time. Billings was giving himself some room outside the leg stump and looked to chip this down the ground, but Christian, the wily old fox, steamed in off the rope and took a great grab on the dive. Billings departs 159/319.5 picks out long-off this time. Doesn't quite nail the yorker, half-volley length, but the bat turns in his hands and the man on the rope takes the catch.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.1 forced into the covers on the bounce, throw comes in at the non-striker's end and Philippe is in trouble here! He set off for the single but Ferguson fielded well, and threw to the bowler's end on the bounce. Philippe was diving at full stretch, but Sangha did well to whip the bails off, and he was just short of his ground. Massive wicket for the Thunder - that might be the game. 40/16.2 chipped high into the outfield, and Cutting gets round to get underneath it at long-off! Tossed up above the eyes, and lofted very high down the ground. Cutting covered plenty of ground, running round to his right, and slid on his knees in taking the catch. Sixers in all sorts. 62/35.1 chops onto his stumps! Length ball to start, Hughes looked to swing into the leg side, but could only bottom-edge onto the timber. Cutting makes an immediate impact 54/215.5 jumps across to the off side again, looking to give it the old heave-ho through the leg side, but gets a little feather on it and Billings takes an excellent catch behind the stumps! Hmm, Henriques doesn't look too pleased, and rightly so - replays show it has clearly missed the bat and flicked the top of the pad. Very poor decision from the umpire. 152/419.2 straight through him, and pegs back the off stump! Silk shaped to heave over midwicket but was beaten for pace, and this was fuller than he anticipated. The zing bails go flying, and Silk's night is done. No rhythm from him tonight 183/5Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL186/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.3)Fall of wickets: 1-40 (Josh Philippe, 4.1 ov), 2-54 (Daniel Hughes, 5.1 ov), 3-62 (James Vince, 6.2 ov), 4-152 (Moises Henriques, 15.5 ov), 5-183 (Jordan Silk, 19.2 ov)
