Fawad Ahmed 3-37(4 ov)
14.6
Fawad Ahmed to Ingram, no run, googly on leg stump, turning away and beating the edge and even the off-stump. The keeper collects and dislodges the bails, but he has grounded his feet. Almost lost balance there, but recovered well enough. The umpire has gone upstairs just as a precaution, but really, no alarms. Not out flashes on the big screen
14.5
Fawad Ahmed to Neser, 1 run, good length and tossed up on middle and leg, Neser smites it to long-on for a single
14.4
Fawad Ahmed to Neser, no run, flat and skidding outside off, Neser flashes and misses
14.3
Fawad Ahmed to Neser, no run, full googly on off, hits a sweeping Neser on the thigh and there is an appeal. Might have been going over the stumps
14.2
Fawad Ahmed to Neser, no run, tossed up googly on a length outside off, Neser comes forward to defend
14.1
Fawad Ahmed to Wells, out Bowled!! Looked like the flipper, short on leg stump, the batsman didn't read it off the hand and thought it was short enough to cut. The ball goes wait beneath his flashing blade and thumps into the leg-stump. Wells departs after a painful vigil at the crease. Wells b Fawad Ahmed 10(13)
10.6
Fawad Ahmed to Ingram, 1 run, slight fumble by Rohrer at cover. It was hit hard by Ingram, rocked back and found the length short, battered the drive
10.5
Fawad Ahmed to Wells, 1 run, slower outside off, a bit short and cut away towards deep backward point
10.4
Fawad Ahmed to Ingram, 1 run, flatter and outside off, stays back and punches it towards sweeper cover
10.3
Fawad Ahmed to Ingram, FOUR, another boundary! This is poor from Ahmed, again fired it down leg and Ingram calmly sweeps it wide of the short fine leg fielder
10.2
Fawad Ahmed to Ingram, no run, flatter and outside off, a bit short and punched off the back foot towards cover
10.1
Fawad Ahmed to Ingram, FOUR, easy pickings! Wrong line from Ahmed, down leg and Ingram helps it with a powerful sweep past short fine leg
8.6
Fawad Ahmed to Carey, out Bowled!! Ahmed has his man! What an over this is turning out to be! Lot of action and twists. Another googly and Carey is bamboozled once more. Played down the wrong line and saw the timber rattled. Once again, Ahmed is making a big impact for the Thunder. The Strikers need a partnership. Carey b Fawad Ahmed 34(28) [4s-4 6s-1]
8.5
Fawad Ahmed to Carey, no run, very full and outside off, the googly and Carey is beaten on the push
8.4
Fawad Ahmed to Carey, SIX, lot of drama! And Carey gets a six eventually. Walked down the track for the slog sweep and it went uppishly towards long-on. Patterson it was again in the firing line and he took the catch initially before realizing that the momentum is taking him beyond the rope. Throws it up and then gets back from behind the ropes to take it. Seemed a good job initially but replays showed that his foot had touched the rope while taking the catch. Anti climax!
8.3
Fawad Ahmed to Carey, FOUR, that's been blasted away! Brilliant shot, floated up by Ahmed and Carey takes it on the fujll with a fearsome slog sweep over mid-wicket. Picked the bones out of that shot
8.2
Fawad Ahmed to Carey, no run, flatter and around off, stays back and blocks it well
8.1
Fawad Ahmed to Head, out Caught by Kurtis Patterson!! Head has to go! His misery against spinners continues. For moment, this seemed like it was heading for a six though, but Patterson judged it well near the ropes to take it. Head walked down the track for the lofted stroke and probably middled it well but couldn't get the distance on the shot. It was a shorter boundary down there and so he did have a chance to get away but couldn't. Big blow to the Strikers. Head c Kurtis Patterson b Fawad Ahmed 12(13) [4s-1]
6.6
Fawad Ahmed to Carey, no run, the googly and it's quite slower as well, Carey mistimes the late cut that dribbled to short third man. Wanted a run but Head denies it
6.5
Fawad Ahmed to Head, 1 run, thrown up wider outside off, leans forward and drives it down towards long-off
6.4
Fawad Ahmed to Head, FOUR, Sandhu is late to get down on the dive at short fine leg and this sneaks past him to the fence. Wasn't a great ball anyway from Ahmed, floated around leg stump and Head connected the sweep well. A better fielder might have maybe got a hand to it, maybe
6.3
Fawad Ahmed to Carey, 1 run, drifting in fuller around middle, worked away towards long-on for a run
6.2
Fawad Ahmed to Carey, 2 runs, tossed up around leg stump, Carey backs away a touch and whips it through mid-wicket. The man in the deep has to cover a few yards to his right and it's an easy two
6.1
Fawad Ahmed to Head, 1 run, floats it wider outside off, on a good length and Head drags it down towards long-on
