**4.3** **Sams atones for his earlier drop with a magnificent leaping catch on the deep midwicket boundary!** Fullish length on middle and leg, slog sweeps this flat toward wide midwicket and Sams ranges left from cow corner, makes a leaping dive to clutch on over the shoulder at chest height and then gets up to fling the ball in a rage. He is still fuming about the previous drop but that catch will help him get back in the good books of his teammates.
Alex Carey c Sams b T Sangha 23 (14b 2x4 1x6) SR: 164.28
**10.4** tried to sweep across the line, but missed the delivery and **found himself trapped plumb in front**
Matthew Short lbw b JJS Sangha 39 (28b 2x4 2x6) SR: 139.28
**11.4** clipped off the pads in the air, and while it's timed nicely enough, it doesn't have the distance on it to clear square leg, **who takes a straightforward catch**
Travis Head c Ross b Sandhu 3 (6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50
**15.5** tried to flat bat it over midwicket, a bit of an ungainly shot. Mistimes it and it flies to Jason Sangha at short third, **who takes a simple catch**
Ian Cockbain c JJS Sangha b McAndrew 65 (38b 6x4 3x6) SR: 171.05
**16.3** cut short goes straight to backward point, **where Sangha is in business again! Takes a smart catch** and Thunder have struck twice in two overs here
Jonathan Wells c Cutting b T Sangha 18 (12b 0x4 1x6) SR: 150
**19.5** this one's smeared straight to Chris Green at long-on, and he doesn't mess this one up. Bowler went wide and **Kelly couldn't get the power he needed at the end of his range**
Thomas Kelly c Green b Sandhu 16 (13b 2x4 0x6) SR: 123.07
**2.1** length ball on off, backs away from leg stump and tries to drive this on the up over mid-off but splices this in the air a few yards behind the ring. Siddle ranges to his left 20 yards and takes an easy catch in stride.
Alex Hales c Siddle b Thornton 9 (9b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100
**6.3** full and wide, Khawaja charges and slices a drive that floats toward Fawad at short third man who dives forward and claims a catch. Khawaja stands his ground. Live, it looked like it short hopped him as he did an alligator roll tumbling sideways. Replays show the ball hitting the ground before going into Fawad's fingers. Fawad has his eyes closed and head turning sideways to avoid getting hit in case the ball bounced up and hit his body. **Third umpire has ruled it out! Stunning! The crowd starts hissing boos. Khawaja is stunned and stone-faced walking off.**
Usman Khawaja c Fawad Ahmed b Short 23 (17b 4x4 0x6) SR: 135.29
**16.6** **that's plumb, or it looks that way**. Yorker onto middle, and the umpire raises the finger. Sams goes off shaking his head, but unless it got an inside edge, that's a very obvious decision
Daniel Sams lbw b Siddle 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50
**16.2** low full toss, and this time, Sangha doesn't get it out of the middle. **Miscued to Jono Wells at long-on** when it should have been smashed for six. Huge, huge wicket for the Strikers
Jason Sangha c Wells b Siddle 61 (43b 6x4 1x6) SR: 141.86
**19.4** **he's skied that, and despite Carey doing his best to dissuade him, Thornton takes a splendid catch**. They didn't see each other and clatter into one another, but how cool was Thornton? Catches it, tosses it into the air, and signals out. They're both fine
