Chris Morris to Mitchell Marsh. Length ball, off stump on the front foot flick, to deep backward square leg for 2 runs, fielded by Sandhu. The Scorchers crush the Thunder to win with 27 balls remaining. What a victory that was. Liam Livingstone and Josh Inglis put on a mammoth opening partnership, both hitting fifties, and allowing their team to cruise to the target. The Thunder were off the boil all evening, not playing to their best in any department. That win means the Scorchers move above the Thunder into fourth. Sydney slide down to fifth.The BBL continues tomorrow, with the Renegades taking on the Hurricanes. Should be another cracker!

OUT! Caught. Chris Jordan to Daniel Sams. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, Gloved to wicketkeeper, by Inglis. Strangled down the legside. Sams' poor form with the bat continues. Good bouncer from Jordan, it cramps Sams for room, and it kisses the glove on the way through to the keeper. Excellent take by Inglis, and Jordan has two in the over.

OUT! Caught. Chris Jordan to Arjun Nair. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump down the track driving, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Inglis. Clever bowling from Jordan. He changes it up when he sees Nair charging down, and it brings him a wicket. Arjun swipes across the line, is through the shot too early, and gets a little nick behind.

OUT! Caught. Fawad Ahmed to Callum Ferguson. Leg spinner half volley, to leg on the front foot flick, leading edge to short extra cover, by Marsh. That's a huge scalp for the Scorchers. Ferguson is the Thunder's most consistent performer, so there are big celebrations from Perth here. Lovely flight from the leg spinner, Ferguson plays against the turn, and it pops up off the edge to short extra cover. Bit of a soft dismissal really.
