- BATSMENRB4s6sSR12.3 fuller ball on the middle and leg line. Wells makes room and lofts it striaght into the hands of Abbott at long-on. He didn't have to move an inch to take the catch 92/30.3 yorker on the off stump and was coming in. Jaques looks to whip it across and is beaten. The ball hits the stumps and Edwards sets off on a 'You can't see me' run 1/16.3 Coyte gets the wicket that Thunder wanted the most. He traps Birt plumb in front of the middle stump. Is there a turnaround happening? 50/217.1 Gayle leaves his stamp on the game, while fielding. Believe it or not. Triffitt goes for the slice and Gayle goes to his left, one-handed and comes up with a brilliant catch 130/418.1 fuller ball outside the off stump. Lockyear goes for the drive and gets an outside edge back to the keeper 133/5Extras7 (lb 1, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL139/5 (18.4 Overs, RR: 7.44)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Phil Jaques, 0.3 ov), 2-50 (Travis Birt, 6.3 ov), 3-92 (Jonathan Wells, 12.3 ov), 4-130 (Tom Triffitt, 17.1 ov), 5-133 (Rhett Lockyear, 18.1 ov)
