THU vs STR Live Cricket Score

4.3 OUT! That's a stunner and DANIEL SAMS REDEEMS HIMSELF! A flighted delivery, landing around middle, Alex Carey sits down on one knee and slog-sweeps it over mid-wicket. It's towards the longer part of the ground and Daniel Sams is manning that region. He spots the opportunity to redeem himself there. Runs back, keeps his eyes on the ball and then throws his body in the air to grab the catch with both hands. Sams gets up and throws the ball up, more in anger than celebration. That's the quality of class players, they don't stay down for long. A big wicket for Sydney Thunder as they get rid of the in-form batsman. 41/1

10.4 OUT! Given lbw! A nicely tossed leg spinner, landing full around middle at 89 kph and turning just a hint after hitting the deck. Matthew Short goes down on one knee to sweep it, a bit premeditated, but fails to connect. He is hit on the pads, they appeal and it's a straightforward decision for the umpire. Dead plumb. End of Short's eventful stay in the middle. 91/2

15.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Well planned and executed by Nathan McAndrew. He follows the batsman down the leg side with a sharp short ball at 141.1 kph. Ian Cockbain tries to power it over the leg side but it takes the splice of his bat and flies tamely to backward point. Jason Sangha takes the simplest of the catches inside the ring. A big breakthrough for Sydney Thunder as they remove the dangerous batsman. 146/4

11.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Adelaide Strikers lose Head and it's a good passage of play for the Thunder. Gurinder Sandhu speeds in from 'round the wicket and dishes out his trademark slower one at 116.8 kph. It's full and around middle and leg, Head picks it off his pads and tries to haeave it across the line. But it comes off the toe end of the bat and immediately Head shouts - Oh no! He has miscued it in the air towards square leg, Alex Ross comes running in from the deep and completes the catch safely by going down low. 94/3

16.3 OUT! Caught! That's another huge breakthrough and Tanveer Sangha continues to sparkle. It's tossed up around off, a touch short in length and is carrying some extra bounce, Jonathan Wells rocks back to cut but it takes the higher half of his bat and flies straight into the hands of Ben Cutting at short third man. 151/5

19.5 OUT! CAUGHT! On a length and around middle, Thomas Kelly smashes it down the ground, it's aerial but quite flat and finds Chris Green at long on. He makes no mistake and Gurinder Sandhu gets his second wicket. 182/6

2.1 OUT! CAUGHT! It's a huge, huge breakthrough for Adelaide Strikers. Henry Thornton delivers with his first ball. It's served on a length around off, Hales steps back and aims to pump it through the line but it catches the toe end of his bat and flies towards mid off. Peter Siddle circles under it inside the ring and takes the catch safely. 15/1

6.3 OUT! It's a clean catch, finds the third umpire and Matthew Short hits the jackpot. Have to say, it's an exceptional catch from Fawad Ahmed. Floated delivery, full and outside off, Usman Khawaja shimmies down the track to loft it over covers but he ends up slicing it towards short third man. The ball is dipping in front of Fawad Ahmed who goes down low to grab it inches above the surface. He gets up and is claiming the catch. Adelaide celebrate. The umpires though want to get it checked. The third umpire watches multiple replays and then makes the decision that Fawad has wrapped his fingers underneath the ball. The giant screen waits for the decision but there seems to be some issue. The red light is flashed where the third umpire sits and Khawaja trudges back. A massive moment in this match. A bit controversial too. The fingers were spread and some part of the ball appeared to be touching the ground. 129 needed off 81 balls. 56/2

16.2 OUT! There is the wicket and Siddle has bought a wicket off a juicy full toss. Sangha hangs back to heave it over the leg side but ends up towering it towards long on. Jonathan Wells makes no mistake in the deep and Jason Sangha departs after a well-compiled knock. End of a 90-run stand too. 39 needed off 22 balls. 146/3

19.4 OUT! A collision between Carey and Thornton but the latter has taken the catch. 9 needed off 2 balls. Another slower one, on a length around off, Alex Ross has to go after it and he swings his bat but only to get a top edge. It flies behind towards short fine leg and Alex Carey runs behind to attempt for the catch. Henry Thornton also reacts to his right from short 45. No calling between them and they collide. Luckily for Adelaide Strikers, Henry has caught the ball and also, no damage is done due to the collision. 176/5

17 OUT! That's plumb! What an over for Adelaide Strikers, once again Peter Siddle leading them from the front. A low dipping full toss on middle, Sams walks across the stumps a bit to whip it on the leg side but misses. He is pinged on the front leg, they appeal and the finger goes up. Two wickets in the first over of the Surge. 150/4

19.5 OUT! Cutting holes out and Adelaide Strikers are through unless there is some drama on the last ball! In the slot, on a length, Ben Cutting towers it in the air but fails to pack his shot with enough power. Ian Cockbain takes a simple catch at long on. 176/6
