Innings break Good effort by the Thunder in the end and they can thank Daniel Sams and Chris Green. After the top order failed to fire on a difficult two-paced pitch, Sams and Green put together an excellent 58-run partnership to get the Thunder up to a total they can defend. The Stars will need to be diligent in the chase. There were lots of leading edges and top edges. They need to adjust to the pace of the surface and play accordingly.
