Upstairs for an LBW, not given on field. Gap between bat and ball. Hits back pad. Umpire's call on wickets, so it stays not out.

Glenn has Anika Learoyd given LBW for 3. It is sent upstairs as Thunder would be in a #Kimberly sized hole if it were to be confirmed. First impact is on front pad, and it is confirmed as out. Thunder 33-4, Glenn 3-4 early in her second over. Enter young all rounder Lucy Finn.

Tahlia Wilson gets Player of the Match for her 79 (51) and this time I have no quarrel with it (she was also POTM in Thunder's previous game when IMO two players had better claims, Phoebe Litchfield and Samantha Bates, the second of whom would have been my choice).

Voll bowls Hamilton with the first ball of the final over giving Thunder a win by 41 runs. That means that Heat have lost all of their first four matches, while Thunder have gone from having a 0/3 record to having a 2/3 record.

More by luck than judgement Heat have taken this to a final over. They are 159-9, meaning that they will need 42 from that sole remaining over. Bates 4-0-23-2.

Bates has O'Neill caught by Arlott at mid off for 22 (14) and it is 154-9, 47 needed off the last 10 balls with Lucy Hamilton the number 11 coming in to bat.

Annie O'Neil hits the last ball of the 15th over for six to reach a new #WBBL high score. Heat 126-8, need 75 off the last five overs at 15.00 per over, current RR 8.40.

The first ball of the 15th over just about seals Heat's fate as Nadine de Klerk goes, holing out to Ismail off Lucy Finn for 43 (28) to make it 116-8, 85 still needed.
