- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 goes for the lap-sweep, hit on the pad and Murphy appeals... not given but Henriques goes with his bowler and reviews. Gilkes got a good stride across looking to pre-meditate a sweep to get off strike, but has been hit just in line. And it's three reds on Hawk-Eye! Pressure does for Gilkes, wicket with his fourth ball for Muprhy 11/21.1 pinned by one coming back in, given! Hales doesn't look too impressed and reviews, but I reckon he's toast... Beats the bat on the inside, and it's umpire's call on the top of middle stump! Golden duck for Hales in his final Thunder Nation appearance of BBL 2022-23 7/112.6 over the stumps, Whiteman looks to ramp... tickled to the keeper! Nice idea but the connection was too fine, there was an audible scratch and umpire Craig raised the finger. Whiteman drags himself off after a very decent recovery effort 76/43.4 that's plumb! Davies departs for a duck now, no thought of a review after being kippered by one that stayed a touch low... Hit on the back pad as the ball came in past the defensive prod. Another lbw for Abbott, who has been relentless so far tonight 12/314.5 fuller, Ross has a dip... mistimed to mid-off! Dollies a catch to the Sixers captain on the edge of the ring, and the men in magenta have a fifth wicket to keep the pressure on. Ross struggled to get going, though Thunder needed his grit at 12 for 3 91/515.2 kicks up off the deck, leading edge taken at cover! Not much Sams could do with that as Dwarshuis finds one of those tricky spots on this Showground deck. Ballooned off the bat as he fended out in front, safely taken by Vince inside the ring 93/618.2 stumps splattered! Jordan goes fast and straight, 140kph and middle is rocked back. Six and out for McAndrew, who swings blindly across the line and departs 122/719.1 picks out long-on! Green attempts to go down the ground but can't get enough elevation on a cross-batted swipe and it's a simple catch for the sub fielder, Jack Edwards, on the rope 130/8Extras7 (lb 5, w 2)TOTAL133/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.65)Did not bat: Usman QadirFall of wickets: 1-7 (Alex Hales, 1.1 ov), 2-11 (Matthew Gilkes, 2.4 ov), 3-12 (Oliver Davies, 3.4 ov), 4-76 (Sam Whiteman, 12.6 ov), 5-91 (Alex Ross, 14.5 ov), 6-93 (Daniel Sams, 15.2 ov), 7-122 (Nathan McAndrew, 18.2 ov), 8-130 (Chris Green, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 edged, deflected off the gloves... and taken at slip! Puts it on a length wide of the stumps and Philippe was looking to haul a big hit away leg side, ends up scraping the cue end and the pinging up off Gilkes for a simple catch. Green with the breakthrough for Sydney green 14/12.2 screamer from Cutting, flying grab at deep third! Big top edge on the slash from Vince, and it would have gone for six if Cutting wasn't there to intercept! Running around the rope, he threw himself high in the air to get there with both hands, rising to celebrate in front of the crowd 16/23.6 dragged down, and hoicked to deep midwicket! Patterson connects well but sends it straight to the man stationed out there. Green has a second and Thunder are rumbling at the close of this powerplay 25/3Extras9 (nb 1, w 8)TOTAL134/3 (16.2 Overs, RR: 8.2)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Josh Philippe, 1.3 ov), 2-16 (James Vince, 2.2 ov), 3-25 (Kurtis Patterson, 3.6 ov)
