Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Thunder, 28th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Haris Rauf to Daniel Sams, out Lbw!! Yes, there it is! Haris Rauf bags a hat-trick, second of the day ... and he's taken off. A celebratory run. A pacy, in-slanter, Sams looks to play across the line from the crease and is beaten on the inside edge by a mile. Gets rapped on the back leg. Clipping leg, says HawkEye. Daniel Sams lbw b Haris Rauf 0(1)

Haris Rauf to Ferguson, out Bowled!! Two in two for Haris Rauf! Another slower delivery - 125.1kph. Ferguson walks across to help it on its way. Fails to put bat on ball, the ball deflects off the thigh onto his sticks. Ferguson b Haris Rauf 35(27) [4s-3 6s-1]

Haris Rauf to Matthew Gilkes, out Caught by Lamichhane!! The slower ball does the trick. Cutter at 122.5kph, Gilkes doesn't pick it and is early into his flick/glance. The ball goes up in the air and has enough wings to travel till fine leg. Lamichhane gets forward from fine leg to gobble that up. Matthew Gilkes c Lamichhane b Haris Rauf 41(35) [4s-1 6s-2]

Coulter-Nile to Matthew Gilkes, FOUR, 140.7kph, low full toss with mid-off inside the circle. Not a good option. Gilkes gets under it and tonks it over mid-off. Couple to bounces and into the fence

Haris Rauf to Matthew Gilkes, SIX, shot! Fuller than good length ball at 142.4kph, Gilkes moves across and swings his bat hard to send it over wide long-on

Lamichhane to Matthew Gilkes, SIX, now, Gilkes joins the party! He dances down the track, gets close to the pitch of the ball and bludgeons it straight down the ground. The sightscreen bears the brunt

Lamichhane to Ferguson, SIX, the partnership between Ferguson and Matthew Gilkes is now 53. 89.7kph, floater on middle, Ferguson moves leg-side, gets under it and tonks it over the bowler's head. Brilliant timing and it's gone all the way

Lamichhane to Ferguson, FOUR, struck powerfully! Flighted delivery well outside off, Ferguson gets low, fetches it from there and smashes it through mid-wicket with a sweep shot

Haris Rauf to Ferguson, FOUR, shortish ball, pulled in front of square on the leg-side. Got it off the meat of the bat. Stoinis puts in a dive after running to his left, to no avail. Split the gap between deep backward square leg and deep mid-wicket perfectly

Lamichhane to Ferguson, FOUR, first boundary for Ferguson! Fetches this leg-break from outside off and sweeps it hard in front of square on the on-side

Zampa to Matthew Gilkes, byes, FOUR, leg-break just outside leg, Gilkes moves across, gets low and misses the paddle-scoop. Misses everthing and runs away to fine leg. Missed the leg-stump only by an inch or two - hence not wided

Zampa to Hales, out Caught by Coulter-Nile!! 90.6kph - quick and angling in, Hales comes down the track to go downtown. He wasn't to the pitch of the ball against this leggie and swung his bat aimlessly. The ball ballooned up off the outer edge and NCN snaffles it at point. Hales c Coulter-Nile b Zampa 26(28) [4s-2]

Coulter-Nile to Khawaja, out Caught by Nick Larkin!! NCN strikes first ball! Banged in short at 141.6kph, a backing away Khawaja goes for the pull and doesn't middle it. More of a top edge and the ball lobbed up in the air. Larkin settles under the skier (after coming forward and then moving back) at deep square leg and gathers it calmly. Khawaja c Nick Larkin b Coulter-Nile 33(27) [4s-3]

Lamichhane to Hales, 1 run, Lamichhane shortens his length and Hales punches it down to long-on

Lamichhane to Hales, FOUR, thumped! Too full from Lamichhane, Hales gets under it and muscles it over the umpire's head

Haris Rauf to Hales, 1 run, 144.1kph, Hales jogs down the track to play straight, the ball pops up off the inner edge. Maddinson at mid-wicket leaps, but fails to hold onto it. Parried it up, but he can't grab it on the second attempt too as the ball falls away from him. Will go down as a drop

Maxwell to Hales, FOUR, backs away, gets under the length and has a simple swing, straight down, and just doesn't look to overhit as he holds his pose and tonk it uppishly over mid-on

Worrall to Khawaja, FOUR, lofts the off-drive through the line here. Stays his ground, pressing in front and absolutely nailing this straight of mid-off

Worrall to Khawaja, FOUR, clears out his front leg, swings big and slams it straight down the ground. Not quite off the middle, but there's enough in this outfield

Worrall to Khawaja, FOUR, overcooks this outside off. Khawaja isn't missing out on this, flaying away through the line and drilling wide of the diving backward point
