- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.5 "Noooo!" screams Gilkes immediately after making contact with that slog sweep! It was a length ball angling across the batter, but that has gone straight to Bryant at long-on, where he takes a good low catch, but hold on, the umpires are checking the legality of that catch. The soft signal is out... So now the third umpire will have to have conclusive evidence that this ball has hit the grass for the soft signal to be overturned. A tough one for the third umpire... He's given it out, and it was fairly clear that Bryant just about managed to get those fingers underneath the ball. 96/34.5 Oh dear, what have you done, Alex? Slower bouncer from Bazley, Hales gave himself room and then looked for a Rafa Nadal double-handed backhand slap, but only hits it straight to Renshaw at backward point. 29/112.3 Another short ball does the trick for Bazley! This shorter one was well directed towards the body, Rossouw looked to strike that pull shot aerially, but it goes straight down Kuhnemann's throat on the square leg boundary 86/216.4 Shanked straight to mid-on. Neser bangs it in again, Davies looks for the big pull shot, but gets it really high on the bat and presents a sitter which Renshaw takes easily. 136/419.3 Bazley get his third wicket! This was on a length outside off, Ross timed that lofted square drive pretty well, but Whiteley ran across to his left at sweeper cover to take a neat low catch. 178/519.4 Gone first ball! Length ball outside off, McAndrew swings through the line but hits it straight to Munro at long-off. Bazley has his fourth wicket 178/6Extras19 (b 3, lb 3, w 13)TOTAL182/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Alex Hales, 4.5 ov), 2-86 (Rilee Rossouw, 12.3 ov), 3-96 (Matthew Gilkes, 13.5 ov), 4-136 (Oliver Davies, 16.4 ov), 5-178 (Alex Ross, 19.3 ov), 6-178 (Nathan McAndrew, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.2 Is that the game? Munro finds Sams at deep midwicket, that one was right in the slot to hit over the boundary, but Munro can't quite clear the field. A stunning knock from Munro, but he misses a well-deserved century, and possibly the Heat miss out on a win here... 170/70.3 Bryant's tough time continues. Short and wide from Sandhu, Bryant timed it pretty well as he went for the big drive, but it went straight to Davies at cover point. A perfect start for the Thunder. 6/11.5 Green takes the catch and tells Renshaw to get going on his way to the dugout! 14/24.4 Beautifully bowled! Billings comes down the track to a slightly shorter ball - Green had also thrown this out a little wide - and gets beaten on the outside edge. Gilkes completes the job with a rather straightforward stumping. 47/37.3 What a catch, Matt Gilkes! That is an absolute screamer! A poor short ball down the leg side, Peirson looks to pull but gloved it fine, Gilkes moves well to his left and ensures the ball sticks to his left mitt. The Heat sink further... 64/411.1 full and wide outside off, Whiteley has smashed this straight to Doggett at mid-off 102/517.2 Bazley's a goner! Quicker, full, on the stumps, skids under Bazley's slog sweep, raps him on the pad and catches him plumb in front! 150/619.4 Neser goes. A slower shorter delivery again, Neser doesn't time the pull shot well enough and hits it straight down long-on's throat 171/819.6 slower short one again, and Kuhnemann smashes that straight to mid-off 171/9Extras9 (lb 2, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL171/9 (20 Overs, RR: 8.55)Did not bat: MJ SwepsonFall of wickets: 1-6 (Max Bryant, 0.3 ov), 2-14 (Matt Renshaw, 1.5 ov), 3-47 (Sam Billings, 4.4 ov), 4-64 (Jimmy Peirson, 7.3 ov), 5-102 (Ross Whiteley, 11.1 ov), 6-150 (James Bazley, 17.2 ov), 7-170 (Colin Munro, 19.2 ov), 8-171 (Michael Neser, 19.4 ov), 9-171 (Matthew Kuhnemann, 19.6 ov)
