Sydney Thunder vs Brisbane Heat, 24th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Gurinder Sandhu to Peirson, FOUR, you can't bowl short and slow with third man and backward point inside, Peirson so easily backs away and upper-cuts the ball to get the score into the 180s

Daniel Sams to Peirson, FOUR, that's a full toss down the leg-side, another high full toss, not a no ball this time, Peirson helps it away on its way past short fine leg

Daniel Sams to Swepson, FOUR, that's a handy boundary, they will take anything that comes their way. Shortish from Daniel Sams, Swepson stays leg-side of the ball and guides it past short third man

Daniel Sams to Doggett, out Caught by Jonathan Cook!! The Art of Giving, a book written by the Heat on how to be generous in life. Fancy a Big Bash wicket against your name today? Just rush to the Showground Stadium. The Heat are gifting them. Slower delivery on the stumps, Doggett mistimes the loft high in the air as he doesn't read the change of pace, holes out to long-off. Doggett c Jonathan Cook b Daniel Sams 4(5)

Chris Green to Pattinson, out Lbw!! From 141/1 to 157/7, wow, this is an incredible collapse. A pretty thoughtless batting display to be very honest. This was a very full ball from Chris Green, Pattinson stepped out and got hit on the pad, plumb in front despite him advancing. Pattinson lbw b Chris Green 0(4)

Fawad Ahmed to Labuschagne, out Caught by Jonathan Cook!! This is crazy batting from the Heat. They have lost 4 wickets for 1 run. All the hardwork the Bash Brothers put in was undone. Nothing but a flighted delivery outside off stump, Labuschagne leans forward, doesn't control the drive and offers the simplest of catches to the man at mid-off. Labuschagne c Jonathan Cook b Fawad Ahmed 0(2)

Fawad Ahmed to Renshaw, out Caught by Gurinder Sandhu!! Top edge on the sweep shot, taken at short fine leg. What are Heat doing? They have lost three wickets in four balls. Harmless flighted delivery on the stumps, Renshaw went hard on that and perished. This is a great comeback by the Thunder. Renshaw c Gurinder Sandhu b Fawad Ahmed 0(2)

Jonathan Cook to Cutting, out Lbw!! Now hang on! That was so lazy from Cutting. This is a full ball and he's not bothered to move his front foot forward. Missed the flick and it thuds into the pad pretty adjacent to the sticks. Meanwhile, Cutting is angry at something. He's removing the gloves off in anger. Did he get an inside edge on that? Cutting lbw b Jonathan Cook 3(4)

Jonathan Cook to Chris Lynn, out Caught by Chris Green!! This one doesn't have the distance, this is taken at deep mid-wicket and this will count. Flighted delivery on the leg stump, Lynn steps out and mistimes the slog as the bat turns in his hands. Key wicket for Thunder. This could make a difference of 15-20 runs to the final score. Chris Lynn c Chris Green b Jonathan Cook 54(30) [4s-4 6s-4]

Jonathan Cook to Chris Lynn, SIX, down the track, lofted in the air wide of long-on and McCullum takes the catch. But it won't count though. Lovely fifty from Lynn, started slowly but he picked up pace like only he can

Gurinder Sandhu to Chris Lynn, FOUR, he's got the length slightly shorter than the previous one, and the line was more leg stumpish too, so Lynn was able to help it on its way and beat the man at deep backward square leg to the right

Gurinder Sandhu to Brendon McCullum, out Caught by Fawad Ahmed!! The Bash Brothers are separated but they did the damage. 65-run stand off 35 balls. This was a cleverly bowled short of length delivery from Gurinder Sandhu, he spotted McCullum backing away and followed him, Baz tried to guide the ball towards third man, but picked out the man at 45. Fawad Ahmed juggled as it came quickly, but he was able to hold on to the rebound. Brendon McCullum c Fawad Ahmed b Gurinder Sandhu 56(35) [4s-3 6s-4]

Rainbird to Chris Lynn, SIX, in the airrrr, oh Sangha made a brilliant attempt to catch the ball on the rope but couldn't hang on. Really poor full ball from Rainbird, Lynn absolutely gives it all and muscles this, Sangha runs to his right, jumps really high, gets both hands to it but he didn't have room to balance himself as he was too close to the rope

Rainbird to Chris Lynn, FOUR, this is a normal pace delivery and Lynn powers the pull shot through backward square leg this time

Rainbird to Chris Lynn, FOUR, now that is brute power for you. Rainbird took pace off on this short of length delivery so that it sticks on the pitch, Lynn won't mind those because he really can tonk the ball hard, flat-batted really hard to the right of long-off

Chris Green to Chris Lynn, SIX, noooo! He's not learning. It only takes a matter of 3-4 balls for players like Lynn to really up the ante. Chris Green tossed this up again and disappeared again as Lynn was great with his feet, another power hit over long-off

Chris Green to Chris Lynn, SIX, can't let these two use their feet to get close to the ball if you are a spinner. So easily smashed over Baz's head into the side of the sightscreen, umpire lifts his arms

Fawad Ahmed to Brendon McCullum, SIX, that is a fine hit from Baz. The key to stepping down to spinners is to delay that jump out of the crease till the bowler releases so that he can't adjust, Baz anyway has fast hands and he was in an excellent position to muscle this flat and hard into the sightscreen. Fifty for the veteran off 29 balls. Mind you, he was 6 off 12 balls at one stage

Fawad Ahmed to Chris Lynn, FOUR, down the pitch now and to the pitch of the ball too, lofted nicely back over the umpire's head and no chance for long-on or long-off to cut that off

Fawad Ahmed to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, nicely played, fraction short and at the stumps, McCullum was slightly cramped for room on the pull, managed to arch back and heaved it over mid-wicket, beats Green's desperate dive near the ropes

Jonathan Cook to Bryant, out Bowled!! Cook has his man, pushed through flatter and quicker, Bryant was looking to work it to the on-side, off his thigh-pad and then ricocheted onto the stumps, ends a handy knock, gave his team an ideal start. Bryant b Jonathan Cook 36(23) [4s-4 6s-2]

Jonathan Cook to Bryant, SIX, lovely, tossed up on a fullish length, Bryant gets a big stride forward and shovels it high and wide of long-on for a maximum

Fawad Ahmed to Brendon McCullum, SIX, huge, turning out to be an expensive over from Fawad, slower and well outside off, McCullum gets down low and heaves it high and wide of long-on, went a long way over the ropes

Fawad Ahmed to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, low-full toss and that's another gift from Fawad, bends down low and at the stumps, heaved over square leg and the ball almost went all the way, bounced just in front of the ropes

Daniel Sams to Bryant, FOUR, inside edge and four, very full and at the stumps, Bryant was looking to flick, got an inside edge and the ball ran away past the keeper and into the fence

Daniel Sams to Bryant, wide, low full-toss and sliding down the leg-side, Bryant was looking to flick and missed, called as a wide

Daniel Sams to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, more runs for McCullum, banged in short and angling down the leg-side, McCullum swivels across, rolls his wrists and pulls it past short fine for a boundary

Daniel Sams to Brendon McCullum, SIX, clubbed, back of a length and at the stumps, McCullum runs down the track, made room as he did so and clubbed it flat and over mid-wicket, went a long way over the ropes

Chris Green to Brendon McCullum, SIX, McCullum breaks the shackles, low full-toss from Green, McCullum gets forward and pumps it high anbd over long-on for a maximum

Gurinder Sandhu to Bryant, SIX, massive, change of pace from Sandhu, Bryant comes down the track, gets close to the ball and then lifts it high and over long-on for a maximum

Daniel Sams to Bryant, FOUR, lovely, length ball outside off, Bryant leans forward and powers it over mid-off, couple of bounces and the ball rolls over the ropes

Daniel Sams to Bryant, FOUR, cracking shot, fraction too short from Sams, Bryant swivels across and pulls it over mid-wicket, couple of bounces and over the ropes

Rainbird to Bryant, FOUR, poor ball to end the over, full and on Bryant's pads, he gets inside the line and clips it fine, runs away to the lomng leg fence for a boundary
