Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Thunder, 31st Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Boland to Ross, SIX, huge, length ball from Boland - this isn't great death over bowling skills - Ross gets under it and sends it high and deep into the stands at long-on, watched it in admiration all along - Ross

Nathan Ellis to Cutting, SIX, massive, too predictable from Ellis, another slower ball that sat up to be smacked, Cutting gets across, picks the length early and clouts it high over deep mid-wicket for a maximum - 13 from the over

Nathan Ellis to Cutting, FOUR, clubbed, another slower ball from Ellis and Cutting was waiting on it - stays deep inside the crease and pulls it over mid-wicket, couple of bounces and over the ropes

Boland to Cutting, FOUR, 19 from the over, length ball at the stumps, Cutting backs away and drills the drive back past the non-striker - some serious shift in momentum in the power surge - 28 came from it

Boland to Cutting, FOUR, this is turning out to be an expensive over from Boland - low full-toss on the pads, Cutting bends down low and whips it behind square on the on-side - the fielder in the deep is square and has no chance

Boland to Ross, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Ross, full-toss on the pads and it's whipped away behind square on the on-side for a boundary

Boland to Ross, SIX, hammered, length ball at the stumps, Ross backs away and gets under the delivery, went high and has enough power to sail over the ropes for a maximum

Nathan Ellis to Cutting, FOUR, top-edge and four, banged in short and at the batsman, Cutting is late on the pull, gets a fat top-edge that lobs the fielder at short fine, runs away to the ropes

Nathan Ellis to Ross, out Arjun Nair Run Out!! Is it a run-out? Nair was diving into the crease, but think he's beaten by the bowler to the stumps. He's walking off actually, he thinks he's short - OUT by a mile. That's excellent work from the bowler - charged towards the ball after Ross had dropped it at his feet - a one-on-one contest and Ellis was always winning it, catches Arjun Nair short by a long way, as he bent down, picked the ball and broke the stumps - all in one action. Arjun Nair run out (Nathan Ellis) 15(13) [4s-1]

Nathan Ellis to Ross, FOUR, lovely, Lamichhane shortened his length and angled one back into the right-hander, quick hands from Ross as he backed away on the cut, finds the gap behind square on the off-side for a boundary

Lamichhane to Arjun Nair, FOUR, lovely shot, too full from Lamichhane, Nair gets a big stride forward and thumps it back over the bowler's head, couple of bounces and over the ropes

Lamichhane to Ross, 1 run, flatter and on the pads, nudged behind square on the on-side for a single

D Arcy Short to Ross, SIX, oh, Ross has managed to clear the fielder at deep mid-wicket. Wasn't in control at all as he slotted it across the line. But in the end, enough wood to take it over the ropes

D Arcy Short to Khawaja, out Lbw!! Got him. The wickets are tumbling for Sydney. Another one bites the dust and it's the big fish - Khawaja. Short, you beauty. Attacks the stumps, Khawaja went for the sweep and gets trapped right in front. Couldn't connect the shot and was rammed on the back pad. Khawaja lbw b D Arcy Short 49(33) [4s-7]

D Arcy Short to Billings, out Caught&Bowled!! You sensed it coming. Billings looked out of sorts and struggled to pick Short's googlies. Ends up gifting a leading edge back to the bowler as he hopes to turn it away on the leg-side. Goes slightly hard at it and pops a sitter back to the bowler. One wicket led to another and another.. Sydney in a spot of bother. Billings c and b D Arcy Short 1(5)

Lamichhane to Ferguson, out Caught by Botha!! Gone. Two wickets in two overs for Hobart. Both the spinners getting into the act. Ferguson wants to get going straightaway. Looks for a massive thump down the ground, it lacks the oomph and hits it straight to Botha at long-on. Ferguson c Botha b Lamichhane 1(3)

D Arcy Short to Khawaja, FOUR, that's gone past Ellis at deep cover and I hope he's okay. Khawaja drove it firmly wide of extra cover, Ellis ran to his left, slid awkwardly and couldn't stop the batsmen from collecting the fourth run. He's holding onto his ankle, that looked nasty..

D Arcy Short to Hales, out Caught by Nathan Ellis!! The man with the golden arm strikes. Short may be having a lean run with the bat, but he's making up with the ball by picking up timely wickets for his team. Hales was looking a bit scratchy, decides to flirt with the big leg-side boundary with a slog-sweep. Not much of power on this to clear the fence and Ellis settles under it. The dangerous Hales departs. Hales c Nathan Ellis b D Arcy Short 21(19) [4s-4]

Lamichhane to Khawaja, FOUR, flighted delivery outside off, Khawaja stretches out and slams it square past point

Nathan Ellis to Hales, 1 run, steered to third man

Winter to Hales, FOUR, this is a fiery response. Hales doesn't get bogged down by the blow. Backs his strengths, skips to the leg-side and carves it over backward point

Winter to Hales, FOUR, hoicked over short fine leg. Ah, the Calypso flavour from Hales. Lifting his back leg, shows off his swagger and dispatches it from his presence. So, that makes it four boundaries in the last five balls

Winter to Hales, FOUR, horror delivery. Winter loses his line and splays it miles down leg, Hales capitalizes by getting some bat on it and sends it very fine. Bleeding boundaries here

Boland to Khawaja, FOUR, 17 off the over. Boland's not had a great start. Ends up slipping this too full outside off, Khawaja plays it according to the merit by driving it right in the gap at extra cover

Boland to Khawaja, FOUR, blasted over extra cover. Khawaja is on song here. Sees a pitched up delivery outside off, his eyes light up and he leans forward to smack the leather off it over the in-field

Boland to Khawaja, FOUR, slaps, sweeps and scoops.. Khawaja is showing every trick in his book. Anticipated Boland to go outside off, so quickly jumped across and lifted it over short fine leg. Talk about innovation, this was right up there

Botha to Khawaja, FOUR, swept and swept beautifully. Khawaja has split the two fielders on the leg-side to perfection. Knelt down in time, took it from middle and leg, broomed it expertly between short fine and square leg

Botha to Khawaja, FOUR, Khawaja is pro at this. Anything hurled outside off, he just latches onto it in a flash. This was slow and turning away outside off, Khawaja reached out and slapped it over cover

Winter to Hales, FOUR, Hales throws caution to the wind and gets lucky. Backs away to open up the off-side field, this was sprayed wider of off and Hales threw the kitchen sink only to get a thick outside edge which flew wide of short third man
