Jordan to Shaun Marsh, SIX, this is a grand finish from Marsh. Short delivery, Marsh pulls, hit flat and all the way over the mid-wicket boundary, incredible hitting

Jordan to Shaun Marsh, FOUR, the overcorrection from the bowler, bowled a short ball previous ball, now tries the yorker and offers a low full toss, Marsh drives, looked like he lost grip on the handle but he creams it well enough to fine the cover boundary

Jordan to Shaun Marsh, SIX, kabooom! This slower ball sat up nicely, Marsh waited for it on the back foot and smashed it hard over long-on

Gurinder Sandhu to Nick Hobson, SIX, oh Rainbird, he tried to catch this near the boundary and let this go right through his hands. Not sure if he even got a finger on it. Slower delivery on the leg stump, Hobson whips stylish, should have been out caught, but escapes

Gurinder Sandhu to Nick Hobson, FOUR, short of length delivery outside off stump, Hobson slashes hard, gets a thick edge that flies over and wide of short third man

Daniel Sams to Shaun Marsh, SIX, and again! This is an unbelievable hit. Not easy to hit a slower ball hard over cover when the length is short, Marsh really went hard at slapping the ball and found the middle of the bat

Daniel Sams to Shaun Marsh, SIX, oh Marsh slogs and nails it. Length ball, asking for trouble, Marsh waits for the ball to come and absolutely bludgeons it over the mid-wicket boundary

Daniel Sams to Shaun Marsh, FOUR, that's a lot of width outside off stump and it's way too short as well, Marsh goes back and slaps it hard over cover for a one bounce for four

Jordan to Nick Hobson, byes, FOUR, oh the bowler has bowled an excellent slower ball and the batsman couldn't make contact, the ball lets the ball escape and the Scorchers get four bonus runs

Gurinder Sandhu to Cartwright, out Lbw!! That is absolutely plumb in front. Good length delivery angled in, not sure how Cartwright actually missed that, pretty straight ball, rushed on him and smashed the back pad in line with middle stump. Cartwright lbw b Gurinder Sandhu 20(14) [4s-2 6s-1]

Gurinder Sandhu to Shaun Marsh, FOUR, oh he's sliced this with one hand, yet managed to get enough power on the shot to easily clear the man at backward point, the wide yorker attempted, but went as a low full toss

Fawad Ahmed to Shaun Marsh, 1 run, flicked to deep mid-wicket and that's the fifty for Shaun Marsh, who is in very good touch of late

Chris Green to Cartwright, FOUR, too much width and on the shorter side as well, Cartwright goes back and cuts square of the wicket on the off-side, beats backward point and third man comfortably

Chris Green to Cartwright, SIX, down the pitch, to the pitch of the ball and smashed, nicely went through with the lofted hit, the played that on the move without actually being greatly balanced, yet the timing and placement (between long-off and long-on) was very good

Chris Green to Cartwright, FOUR, the reverse sweep, hit pretty well, no one at third man, so Cartwright got into position and helped the ball on its way as Chris Green this full and on the stumps

Chris Green to Turner, out Caught by Jordan!! Don't think he's hit this well. Turner tries to power this over the rope, had to fetch it from outside off and he ended up dragging it straight into the hands of the man ta long-on. This is clever bowling from Chris Green, he saw the batsman lining up for a big hit, so he fired this wide and forced Turner to drag it from a wide angle. Turner c Jordan b Chris Green 4(7)

Chris Green to Shaun Marsh, FOUR, poor line from Green, drifted this one down the leg-side, Marsh gets inside the line and tucks it fine, runs away to the ropes in a jiffy

Chris Green to Mitchell Marsh, out Caught by Gurinder Sandhu!! No duck luck for the younger Marsh - pre-empted the charge, Green saw it and fired this one wide of off, Mitchell had to reach out on the lofted drive, gets a fat top-edge, straight up and towards short third man. Sandhu was down there and he doesn't drop those. Mitchell Marsh c Gurinder Sandhu b Chris Green 31(23) [4s-4]

Fawad Ahmed to Shaun Marsh, SIX, massive, this is painful for Thunder, well flighted on off, Shaun runs down the track, gets close to the ball and lifts it high and over long-on for a maximum
8.3
Fawad Ahmed to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, tossed up on the leg-stump line, flicked wide of mid-on for a single
8.2
Fawad Ahmed to Shaun Marsh, 1 run, that's another sitter and Sams has shelled it, Shaun has been to a lucky charm any time before today's game? Dropped short and just outside off, he swivelled across and pulled it flat and hard - straight in and out of Sams hand at deep mid-wicket

Jordan to Shaun Marsh, FOUR, pumped, the slower ball and Shaun spotted it early, floaty delivery outside off, Shaun prodded forward and drove it back past the non-striker, beats mid-off to his left and runs away to the ropes

Jordan to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, smashed, tad too short from Jordan, can't do so with his pace, Mitchell swivels across and drills the pull through mid-wicket for a boundary

Daniel Sams to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, lovely, short and at the stumps, Mitchell swivels across and pulls it over mid-wicket, couple of bounces and over the ropes

Daniel Sams to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, too full and too straight from Sams, whipped away backward of square on the on-side and the man in the deep gave up the chase pretty early

Gurinder Sandhu to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, easy pickings for Mitchell, length ball on the pads, he gets inside the line and clips it fine, runs away to the ropes for a boundary

McAndrew to Bancroft, out Lbw!! A full-toss and Bancroft has missed it, struck bang in front of middle and leg - would have been smashing into the leg-stump. A first-ball dismissal for McAndrew, a gift and the batsman returned it with favour, was looking to flick it square on the on-side, once he missed, it was always going to be close. Bancroft lbw b McAndrew 8(10) [4s-1]

Gurinder Sandhu to Bancroft, FOUR, cracking shot, full and wide of off, Bancroft leans forward into the drive and places it wide of cover, the timing is sweet and the ball races away across the fast outfield

Gurinder Sandhu to Shaun Marsh, no run, that's a clanger, the debutant keeper has dropped Marsh - that was a sitter and he juggled it twice or thrice - before putting it down. Full and swinging away from wide of off, Marsh's feet went nowhere as he pushed at that, gets a thick edge and to the left of the keeper, came at a very good height, the nerves took over, will it cost his team?
