15.5 to SE Rutherford, Has he nicked it? The umpire reckons he has! 128kph bouncer dug into the pitch outside off, Rutherford goes for the pull, and was almost pulling out of the shot very late, and gets the thinnest of edges that's gobbled up! Some fortune falls the Stars' way today as well!. 138/5

12.6 to JJS Sangha, Chipped straight to long-on! Full ball around off and he mistimes this. Maxwell is on the player mic, but doesn't distract him from taking this dilly! Sangha was looking good in his stay, but he has to make the walk back now. Siddle gets some reprieve. 105/4
17.4 to SW Billings, Chops on! It's been an incredible knock from him, while riding on some luck, but it ends now. Not Siddle's best ball, short and wide, but Billings chases after it and ends up dragging it onto his stumps. 162/7
4042310.5071320
4.5 to DA Warner, Cleans him up! 123kph ball full around middle and off, Warner was early into his swing across the line and he hears the death rattle. 41/1
16.4 to CJ Green, Holes out at deep midwicket! Webster digs it in short and he goes for the pull. It hits high on the bat and goes high in the air. Cartwright takes it just above head height. 151/6
19.3 to DR Sams, Dragged on! Webster goes short and wide and like Billings, Sams looks to cut this away but can only deflect it onto the stumps. Third wicket of the day for Webster!. 177/8

5.3 to CT Bancroft, Mir gets his redemption! He's nutmegged him while trying to play a reverse-sweep! Bancroft was early into the shot and Mir flights it up a little too full to sweep, and it goes through his legs and onto off-stump. Mir dropped him in the fourth over, has his man!. 45/2
5.4 to O Davies, Mir has two in two! And this time he's taken a very good catch off his own bowling! Mir flings it full around off and Davies is a little early into the stroke. He ends up chipping it back towards the non-striker and Mir dives to his right to bag that. What a dramatic day Mir is having!. 45/3

0.3 to SB Harper, Chipped to mid-off! After a few length balls, Ferguson draws him forward with a full ball and he ends up lobbing it just above Warner's head and he grabs it safely. Warner has positioned himself slightly shorter than where mid-off would usually be and it pays off!. 5/1
402536.25124000
17.2 to J Merlo, He's edged behind! It's very full and wide, Merlo is looking to squeezer it out on the off side but gets an edge that Billings gobbles up!. 147/6
17.4 to Usama Mir, Mir makes a meal of it as he looks to reverse ramp a full toss outside off. The ball just spoons up for an easy catch for Billings running back. 151/7
17.6 to BJ Webster, Agar has a third in the over! Much like Merlo, Webster tries to drive out a very full delivery wide of off and gets a thick edge. Surely, Thunder have this in the bag now?. 152/8
302719.0042010
15.2 to BM Duckett, That's the big wicket Thunder were waiting for! Sams reels away in celebration, letting out a celebratory scream. Sams digs it in short outside off and Duckett looks to pull. It's too high though and he just gets a thin edge. Soft dismissal, but Sams is not complaining at all!. 129/5
4041110.2566100
7.3 to MP Stoinis, Catching practice at cover! Great comeback from Green as he flights it up outside off. It holds in the wicket a bit and Stoinis ends up chipping it to Ferguson's right, who makes no mistake. 64/2
403218.0084000
12.3 to HWR Cartwright, Bowled 'im Tosses this up on off, Cartwright swings for the hills and is completely done in by the lack of pace on that and he loses his offstump. 107/4
0.509110.8011000
8.2 to GJ Maxwell, Warner can't stop laughing as Maxwell goes up for another big shot and perishes! Goes for the big slog but ends up with a top edge that goes up high in the air and it's taken at short fine! "There goes the big ego," Warner exults. 71/3
