8.49pm Innings break Sixers finish with 151 for 7. Seems slightly unders but the pitch was a little unusual with the odd ball gripping bouncing indifferently despite some balls sliding on very well. Warner on Fox: "We'll take that. The wicket played slightly differently to what we expected. We'll have to respect the new ball a bit and be patient." McAndrew's cutters were excellent but Tanveer Sangha's legbreaks were good too. Silk showed how you have to play. Interesting chase coming.

Richard A: "Thunder have grown an extra arm and a leg in the field tonight. They look so much better in the field. Good on 'em. "
