Sam Curran to Daniel Sams, out Caught by Babar Azam!! Third wicket in the over for Curran. He goes short and into the wicket, Sams takes it on and pulls it towards deep square leg. Long boundary there and Babar moves to his left, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes it calmly. 10 runs and 3 wickets from the last over. Warner walks off to an ovation.

Sean Abbott to Warner, 1 run, hundred for Warner. Second of the season for him. He has been a standout in a poor Sydney Thunder team. Over 400 runs this season. What's more he's got this at his home ground. He takes off his helmet and raises it along with the bat. No Warner leap this time. It has been a top class knock! He's hardly put a foot wrong in this innings. Coming to the ball: Low full toss outside off, Warner drives to sweeper cover and gets to the landmark

Ben Manenti to Maddinson, no run, stumping chance missed. Maddinson comes down the track, yorks himself and does not manage to squeeze it out, Josh Philippe does not glove the ball and that allows Maddinson to get back in. How costly will that prove?

Sean Abbott to Warner, SIX, wow! That's an incredible shot. Warner moves away and Abbott follows him, not quite yorker length and Warner is able to get under it, lofts it over extra cover and sends it all the way. He had very little room to free his arms and relied on timing to get it all the way

Ben Manenti to Billings, out Caught by Smith!! Excellent catch by Smith! The veterans are doing their bit to entertain the crowd. Warner with the runs, Starc with the first breakthrough and now Smith with a terrific catch. Billings comes down the track, gets bit too close to the flighted delivery and does not get the elevation needed for the loft to clear long-on, Smith sprints in and dives forward to take a good low catch. He made that look easy. Billings c Smith b Ben Manenti 14(13) [4s-1]
