8.08pm Not sure if Strikers would be pleased with that score - 175 for 4. This could well have been near 200, given they got to 100 in the tenth over. Carey gave them a breezy start and Ingram stepped up once Carey departed. However, the Thunder bowlers applied brakes after Ingram's wickets. Chris Green was the pick of the bowlers, conceding just 18 from his four overs, while Daniel Sams too chipped in with 2 for 24 from his quota. Don't go far away, we'll be back with the chase soon.

Sams to Short, 1 run, fuller around off, looked like a slower one, Short looks to go big but ends up going higher than longer, was in the air for a long long time, but the long-on is quite deep and mid-off couldn't reach there in time, an error in judgement from the Thunder fielders
