8:49pm Almost a one-man show, with Warner being front and centre of that innings. He began beautifully but then lost a bit of rhythm as his team collectively slowed down. Thankfully for the Thunder, he rediscovered his groove and injected the impetus they craved, eventually finishing unbeaten on 86 and taking the hosts to 156.
A fairly decent bowling display by the Renegades, with Richardson perhaps the pick of the bunch. They will be fancying their chances here, although they will be aware of the bowling quality the Thunder posses. Join us in a bit for the chase!

Zampa to Warner, FOUR, four to end the innings! Zampa looks for the yorker outside off but errs on the shorter side. Warner is able to get under it and thumps it over mid off!

Zampa to Gilkes, 2 runs, fired in full on the pads. Gilkes looks for the sweep and gets a faint tickle that dribbles away past short fine leg for a couple of runs
Zampa to bowl the last over. A big call but the Renegades do not have any other realistic option. And to make things tougher for him, Renegades need to have an extra fielder in the ring because they could not bowl their overs in time
