10.45pm Great game here at the G. The Thunder eventually come out trumps after a match of tos and fros, ups and downs and what not. It all looked over when David Hussey was cleaned up, but some significant knocks from KP and Faulkner really got the game back in Stars' favour. 16 to win off 12, they should have done it but as happens with wickets, the match turns completely. In a game of fine margins, it came down to the smallest of small margins. Kallis held his nerve, ensured there were no extras in that last over and stuck to his guns. Thunder go 2-0, Stars go 0-2.

Usman Khawaja is the Man of the Match: 'It see-sawed throughout the game, nothing worse than scoring a 100 and losing. I feel really good, I was a bit worried when I went out there. Very happy with the win.

Kallis to Faulkner, 2 runs, agony for Stars, short ball on middle, thwacked to deep midwicket and the collect is clean, a good throw to the keeper. Faulkner comes back for two but not the third. Thunder win by 1 run.
