Key Stats
7.6 Gurinder Sandhu to Nick Larkin
Gurinder Sandhu to Nick Larkin. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off for 1 run, fielded by Ferguson. An entertaining cameo from Larkin to finish this game off but sadly for the Stars it will not be enough. They've been comfortably beaten tonight by the Thunder who showed real strength today in areas people perhaps might not have expected. Sangha and Sams particularly impressed, the early wickets of the latter meant that the Stars just never got going. That's all from me for tonight, join us again soon.

0.3 Sam Rainbird to Ben Dunk
Sam Rainbird to Ben Dunk. Full toss, middle stump on the front foot working, to mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Ferguson. Well the heavens have opened here. There was a pause for thought from the umpires but it really is coming down hard and the only option was to get the players off and get that pitch covered up. Some movement from the ground staff as the rain has eased here. It looks like the large sheet is coming off. Shane Watson is in discussion with the umpires, I believe there will be some sort of revised target when we do get a restart. Covers being unfurled again sadly as we're getting some more rain again now. We've lost five overs of the match so far. The latest news here is that the rain has stopped and the ground staff have begun the job of clearing up and getting the covers off. Play will resume shortly with the Stars needing 86 runs to win from 45 balls.
