Matthew Gilkes | Player of the Match: Always nice to have a bit of luck. A sigh of relief after that dropped catch. (On Warner) To watch him play on TV for so long, and to do it out there is unbelievable. He’s so good to bat with, talks you through the innings. (On today’s innings) I had to play tactically, it was tough out there. It was all about not taking too many risks and taking it deep. This was a must win, happy to take it to the next game. Love playing here, and have played a lot of grade cricket out here. Always lovely to come down to Manuka, especially with the sold out crowds.

22:20 Local Time, 11:20 GMT, 16:50 IST: A comprehensive chase by the Thunder and they join the Gades with 12 points. Ther visitors will look back at that dropped chance off Matthew Gilkes - would have been a third wicket of the over and the match could've been flipped. Fawad dropped him though and they never got a second chance. The left-hander milked the bowling around and added 87 runs for the unbroken third wicket stand with Ross to seal victory and push themselves into the 4th spot. The win was actually set-up by the bowlers who were very disciplined and only a last over surge by Will Sutherland got them to a sizeable total. Thunder's win has nicely set-up the back-end of #BBL12 - the Scorchers and the Sixers are all but through and they should take the first two positions. Gades, Thunder, Strikers, Canes and Heat are all still in with a shout. The Stars have left themselves too much to do and are practically eliminated, although mathematically they're also still in with a 1% chance. That was the BBL action for today. Join us tomorrow for two more crucial slug-fests as teams look to book their playoffs berth, For now, cheers and bye..
