    3.2 straight down deep backward square leg's throat! Zipped in full on leg stump and this is perfect for the pick-up shot Warner usually plays. He gets a good chunk of it too, but picks out the sweeper to absolute perfection. A few yards either side and he would have gotten a boundary. Instead, he is now walking back to the shed! 23/2
    0.4 chopped on! A fifty on debut, but a duck in his second innings! Another arm-ball, starts outside off and Konstas, looking at the length, thinks he can cut it. The ball keeps coming in, though, and that cramps him for room. Takes the inside edge and then crashes into leg stump. Hosein is delighted; the crowd stunned into silence! 1/1

    13.3 Hosein breaks the partnership! Slanted in on a length on leg stump, and Ollie's eyes light up. He advances, trying to go big but does not quite get the contact he wants. Arrows it straight to deep mid wicket, and this is a vital wicket, given how well Ollie was striking it! 111/3
    16.2 stumps smashed, and that was a brilliant yorker! Searing yorker that seems to tail into leg stump very late. Rutherford looks to dig it out but does so in vain. The ball sneaks under the toe-end and then knocks back leg stump. Excellent planning, and even better execution! 129/4
    16.4 goes straight up, and Sams is back in the shed! Angled in full on middle and leg. Sams looks at the length and reckons he can go downtown. The ball, though, holds in the surface just enough, meddling with Sams' timing. Clinks it right off the toe-end and Henriques does the rest at mid on! 131/5

    7.6 thick outside edge, and Sams has done Philippe all ends up! Well-disguised cutter, landing on a full length on off and enticing the big stroke. Philippe is early into the shot, though, like he was earlier in the over, and gets a fat outside edge that spoons up for Sangha to snare at short third. Massive moment in the game! 59/2
    4.2 oh dear - that is catastrophic running! But equally exquisite work by Billings! Zipped in very full and into the pads. Philippe swings at it and misses. Vince thinks he can pinch a single but Billings is sharp enough to track the ball down after it hit his thigh. He collects it and then fires a throw at the bowler's end. Sangha gathers it cleanly and then takes the bails off, with Vince nowhere in the frame. A lucky break for the Thunder, and Vince will be kicking himself! 34/1
    11.1 a moment of magic in the field by David Warner! Hard length just outside off. Henriques advances and chops it towards extra cover. Calls Edwards through for a very risky single and Edwards was always struggling. Warner rolls back the years and compounds the Sixers' woes by hitting bulls eye at the batter's end. Edwards has to go, and that is a crucial breakthrough in the context of the game! 87/3
    15.2 soft, soft dismissal! Hard length again and this keeps slanting into Henriques, tucking up for room. Seems like a knuckle-ball as well. Henriques looks to go over mid off but cuts across it too much. Lobs it up and Bancroft calls for the catch and takes it. No indecision on this occasion, and the Sixers skipper has to trudge off the field! 108/4

    18.1 stumps go splat, and Ferguson punches the air in delight! Slower ball, you-miss-I-hit stuff from Ferguson. Angles into middle and off and Shaw has no option but to go after it. Swings wildly and misses, and hears the death rattle soon after. Ferguson amps up the pressure on the Sixers! 140/5
