Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Thunder, 14th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Daniel Sams to Jake Lehmann, FOUR, misses the yorker by an inch, and Lehmann picks out a mile. Get commits to his crouched stance, waits under the length and sweeps the low full toss through cow corner

Daniel Sams to Short, out Caught by Root!! Well this innings went nowhere. So Short tries to get funky, walking well across his stumps in looking to scoop it away, gets the leading edge in the end, teases short fine leg with the swirler, but this time Root's called for it, holds his patience under. Short c Root b Daniel Sams 15(22)

Fawad Ahmed to Ingram, out Caught by Daniel Sams!! Third time lucky on the wrong 'uns. Ingram goes back on a knee, looks to slog it away instead, heaving across the line, against the spin. There's a hint of extra bounce though, spitting up to take the top-edge, straight down cow corner's throat. Ingram c Daniel Sams b Fawad Ahmed 75(43) [4s-3 6s-6]

Fawad Ahmed to Ingram, FOUR, slows it down. But nothing slow in Ingram slap. Goes back-footed, spots the dragged down googly and smashes it through point

Jonathan Cook to Ingram, SIX, oh it CAN get more expensive, and it DOES. Ingram gets under the length, has the room to free up his arms and does it with a tonk, this time unleashing it straight into the stands at long-on

Jonathan Cook to Ingram, SIX, and flatter. Neater. More bat swing, more bottom-hand and a bigger slam to deposit it well over deep mid-wicket

Jonathan Cook to Ingram, SIX, big. Slam. Over. Juicy length, Ingram plonks his front leg down, sits under it and smokes it high and big over cow corner

Chris Green to Ingram, 1 run, dropped. Ingram just doesn't get hold of this low full toss, but he can't keep his slog down, can't get the distance either. The fielder out there does well to intercept, slide, get himself under it too, but can't keep it in his palms

Daniel Sams to Carey, out Caught by Watson!! The dots strung up against his name eats into his patience. Sams pitches it up, enticing a drive, which Carey looks to go uppish with. The bottom-hand rolls, he just doesn't get under and chips a meek slice to extra cover, where Watson does really well to judge it over his head, reverse-cupped. Carey c Watson b Daniel Sams 59(40) [4s-9 6s-1]

Rainbird to Ingram, SIX, Ingram has really upped the ante, but this was a really poor full toss down the leg-side that deserved to be thrashed. Ingram whips it all the way over deep square leg

Rainbird to Ingram, SIX, hey you! The bowler's bowled a decent good length delivery that is well outside off stump, but this bloke has so easily jumped across and wristed this, yes wristed this with a flick over square. How did he time it so well?

Arjun Nair to Carey, FOUR, low full toss, Carey reverse sweeps past point and that's the fifty up for the wicket-keeper batsman

Fawad Ahmed to Carey, SIX, whipped away and he's hit this all the way. Didn't swing fully at this ball, but went with a strong bottom hand grip, a checked on-drive almost and the power was good enough to take it over long-on

Fawad Ahmed to Ingram, SIX, short ball and Ingram pulls off the back foot over square leg, nicely hit and it's a short boundary out there, Fawad Ahmed pays the penalty for bowling short

Chris Green to Ingram, FOUR, this is lofted with the turn and it has bounced just inside the rope. Spinning away outside off stump, Ingram hit that drive very well inside out

Daniel Sams to Ingram, FOUR, bit of width and Ingram cuts well, just in front of square, to the left of backward point

Daniel Sams to Carey, FOUR, short ball, Carey rocks back and pulls along the ground to the deep mid-wicket fence. Carey is looking really good out there, so solid and clear with his shots

Fawad Ahmed to Carey, FOUR, chipped over the infield, mid-on runs back but can't cut it off, Carey has batted sensibly, his focus is mainly on placing the ball rather than smashing

Fawad Ahmed to Carey, FOUR, shortish delivery outside off stump, Carey cuts it square of the wicket on the off-side, gets it past point for four

Jonathan Cook to Weatherald, out Caught&Bowled!! That is a very soft dismissal. Just as the Strikers were really making this a great start, Weatherald offers a simple chance to throw his wicket away. It was a full ball on the stumps, Weatherald wanted to nudge the ball into the on-side, probably checked the shot and he ended up hitting it straight than towards long-on, the bowler dives to his right and grabs the ball. Weatherald c and b Jonathan Cook 11(5) [4s-2]

Jonathan Cook to Carey, FOUR, it's raining boundaries at the Adelaide Oval. Shortish and outside off stump, Carey cuts hard, places it past backward point

Jonathan Cook to Carey, FOUR, full and on the leg stump, now Carey is down on his knees and he placed this nicely behind square on the on-side for a boundary

Jonathan Cook to Carey, FOUR, lofted over the top as Jonathan Cook overpitches outside off stump, over cover-point and this runs away for four

Rainbird to Weatherald, FOUR, this is a really big over, 16 off it and the Strikers are up and truly running. Another poor ball, on the pads on a fullish length, Weatherald flicks it behind square on the on-side for a boundary

Rainbird to Weatherald, FOUR, that's nicely cut away between short third man and backward point, lot of room outside off stump to free the arms, split the fielders perfectly

Rainbird to Carey, FOUR, freebie, down the leg-side, Carey waits and tickles the ball fine to the fine leg fence

Jonathan Cook to Carey, FOUR, that's a top shot to get the game going. Flighted delivery outside off stump, Carey leans forward and lofts the drive easily and gently over mid-off without trying to go hard at the ball, the timing was excellent
