9.22pm A fantastic start to the New Year, as the Thunder take it to the last over, but fall a few runs short against a much-improved Hurricanes side. Defending 189, the Hurricanes were put under pressure from the outset by the dominance of Jos Buttler, who finished with his career-best T20 score, but it was just not enough as the Hurricanes register their first win of the season.

That's it from us, but do hop over tabs to Perth where the Scorchers are bowling against the Sixers.

Christian to Sandhu, FOUR, that simplifies the equation. Full down leg, a thick inside edge through fine leg for four.

Christian to Sandhu, SIX, still in it! Not over just yet. Full and straight from Christian, lofted over long-on. Just clears the boundary

Abdul Moeen: "career highest T20 score by Buttler"

W
Christian to Sandhu, OUT, is that the game? That may be, but there is also a send-off from Wade. Buttler's short and the Thunder are gone. A short slower delivery outside off, creeps underneath Sandhu's bat. Wade picks up cleanly and hits the stumps direct to find Buttler a few inches short. Loud celebration right in Buttler's face. End of a terrific innings.

23 off 6 balls. Sandhu the new man. Buttler not on strike. Christian will bowl it.
