11.00 pm That's all from the Big Bash League from Thursday. We enjoyed another nail-biter in the tournament as we approach the business end. Hope you enjoyed ESPNcricinfo's ball-by-ball coverage of this top encounter. On behalf of Akshay, it's Sreshth saying good bye!

Handshakes all around, as McClenaghan enjoys that victory. Smiles for the team in green today, as Perth Scorchers succumb to a rare loss. A cracker of a match that keeps the Thunder alive.

Here's the winning captain Shane Watson: "I told Mitch about execution for the final over. His variation, wide yorkers are good. So was important to trust our main bowler. Sandhu, and our spinners, were excellent today. Nair's bowling great, Fawad continues to get beter. Green gets a bunch of tough overs, but he delivered today too. Some poor fielding for us, but good to take the win. Will be nice to have James Vince in our midst too. Usman's batting was very pleasing, and so was Sandhu's bowling. That's vintage Sandhu. Those two guys were outstanding tonight."

McClenaghan to Cartwright, 1 run, low full toss outside off, and the slog is mistimed to deep midwicket. Only a single on offer and Sydney Thunder win by three runs

Little bit of a breather as Cartwright tends to his bat's toe.

Phillip Martin: "So the so-called worst Baggy Green in history is striking at 157 and on the edge of victory. Cricket = marvellous "

McClenaghan to Cartwright, 2 runs, full on off stump, muscled down the ground to long off. They race around for the single, and it's a chance for a run out, but the bowler can't grab the ball. Means that's two runs, instead of what would've been a single and a wicket. Five needed off the last ball, four for a super over.

Seven needed off two balls.

McClenaghan to Cartwright, 2 runs, full toss wide outside off, smacked it cross-batted down the ground to long off. No brainer as they turn around for the second run

Nine off three balls. And a free-hit coming up.

McClenaghan to Cartwright, (no ball) 2 runs, waist-high full toss outside off, smacked over cover's head for two. The square-leg umpire calls it a no ball. A fair call in a crunch situation

Twelve needed off three balls.

McClenaghan to Cartwright, 2 runs, full and wide outside off, down on one knee and smacked inside out past cover, work for the man at deep extra cover, but intercepted.

McClenaghan to Cartwright, SIX, Hits the roof! Full on off stump and that's a huuuuuuge six! Rocks back, clears his front leg, and smacks this over long on. Hits the roof on the full. Whoa, a biggie. And the ball has taken some hammering, we need a new ball
