Innings break The Thunder fall short of 200. Nathan Ellis did not concede a boundary in four overs. An incredible spell. Alex Hales: "That's a good score on a good pitch. They bowled well. Ellis is an outstanding bowler. But anytime you get nearly 200 it's a good score." Will that be enough? The Hurricanes need 198 to stay alive in the tournament. The winner of this game moves on to play Adelaide and the loser is done.

Geetha: "Totally agree with Mouse. This is MoM performance from Ellis."

iamharisb: "In a high scoring game, if you've gone just for 18 runs in your 4 overs quota, shows how good you've bowled."

Glen: "Ellis a starter for the World Cup? Should be seriously considered."
