THU vs STA Live Cricket Score

6.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! First delivery and Couch gets the dangerous Hales! Short of a length, slower and on middle. Hales makes room and looks to ramp it away but gets cramped for room. Gets an outside edge to the keeper, Joe Clarke who pouches it. Sydney Thunder in a spot of bother here. 40/3

3.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The skipper strikes in his first over! Loopy ball, on middle. Whiteman backs away and looks to drive but gets the outside edge. The ball hits the gloves of Clarke and pops up. The keeper takes it on the second attempt. 24/1

4.5 OUT! BOWLED! You miss and I hit, says Qais Ahmad! Full ball, on middle. Gilkes shuffles across and looks to sweep it but misses. The ball goes onto hit the stumps and the innings of Gilkes comes to an end. 33/2

11.5 OUT! TAKEN! Billings goes and Thunder slip further. Qais Ahmad's good night continues. This was on the cards, the pressure was building and Billings needed a release shot. He looks to go inside-out over covers to this tossed up delivery on off. The ball though turns away a touch. It goes more off the outer half and lobs towards point. Nathan Coulter-Nile takes a good catch tracking backwards. 65/4

19.5 OUT! TAKEN! A good comeback by Couch after going for a maximum early in the over! He bowls it short and cramps Sams for room. He looks to pull but doesn't middle it. Qais Ahmad runs to his left from deep backward square leg and takes it. 149/5

11.2 OUT! TAKEN! That is a superb catch but Stoinis will be gutted with himself! That is one of the worst balls he has got out to! It is way too short and sits up to be hit. Stoinis rocks back and pulls, he may have lost his shape towards the end as he does not time it. It goes more off the splice and towards deep mid-wicket, it is also the longer part. Sams runs to his right and takes a good sliding catch. Is this the opening Thunder needed? 69 needed in 52. 83/3

2.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Sydney Thunder get the first breakthrough and Joe Clarke goes back on a duck. A length ball, moving a bit away from the right-hander, outside off. Clarke looks to drive but it kisses the outside edge to the keeper, Sam Billings who takes an easy catch. 15/1

4.2 OUT! TAKEN! The pressure was piling up and a wicket was always on the cards. A length ball, on middle. Nick Larkin chips it straight in the hands of Nathan McAndrew at short mid-wicket, who takes an easy catch. Melbourne Stars in some early trouble. 24/2

11.3 OUT! TAKEN! Two-in-two and the stars of the Stars, Maxwell and Stoinis depart on back-to-back deliveries. Thunder well and truly back into this one. What was that from Maxwell though? Having just lost Stoinis, that is a poor shot. He knows that but brave bowling from Sangha. He gives it air, floats it up and lands it on off. Tempts Maxwell to go big and he does. The ball though lands and then turns away. He ends up slicing it towards long off. Easy catch for Cutting. Game on here, the game is well and truly on. Sangha on a hat-trick. 83/4
