9.20pm: Clinical from Thunder, who move level with Scorchers on 10 points at the top of the BBL standings. First defeat in nine at #TheFurnace, and Perth will have to deal with a potential injury to Jhye Richardson, too, as he walked from the field without completing his final over. Oliver Davies is Player of the Match for 58 off 47 to set up the Thunder chase, after they had restricted Scorchers with an all-round bowling display. Anyway, that's our coverage done for the night, join us again tomorrow for the next BBL instalment from Adelaide. Bye!

Turner to Ross, FOUR, dragged down and pummelled! Sits back and hauls it away through mid-on to bring the scores level
More problems for Scorchers, as Richardson departs mid-over. Ashton Turner is going to bring himself on to bowl the last two balls

Richardson to Ross, FOUR, short and smoked through cover, Ross continuing to play a gem here. Smashed to the cover fence and Thunder are just a hit away
16.3

Richardson to Ross, SIX, turns around, scooped over the keeper for six! Almost a pull shot, he was so far across in his premeditation... smacked up and over the rope at fine leg

Richardson to Cutting, 1 run, goes for the blockhole, nicely bowled but Cutting digs it out through midwicket
16.1

Richardson to Ross, 1 run, fired full towards leg stump, backs away and squeezes out an inside edge to deep square leg
Thunder still in charge, as they call for the Power Surge with fours overs left in the innings. Richardson will bowl out here
