    6.3 beautifully bowled, jags back to hit middle stump! Seemingly bowled like a topspinner but it curved in viciously at pace to cramp Waseem and rearrange the timbers. Mujeeb is bang on target from the off and Giants have their second wicket 44/2
    1.2 prodded limply back to the bowler! Back of a length, Smeed attempted to work it leg side but plopped the ball low to the bowler's right, Drakes stooping to hold on and complete the dismissal. First blow landed by Giants after a slow start from MIE 3/1
    11.5 short and slashed... straight to deep third! A pretty tortured stay for Fletcher is brought to a close. The ball flew off the top edge but he could barely have picked out the man better had he been aiming. Overton strikes and MIE sink a little lower in their attempts to set a testing target here 66/3
    17.3 full toss, Pooran picks out cover! Not quite the ball Jordan wanted but sometimes they are the hardest to hit properly. Pooran freed the arms but sliced across it, tame connection and simple catch to his opposite number on the edge of the 30-yard circle 137/5

    17.1 cleans him up! Middle stump has been broken in half! Hits the mark with his yorker, the ball skidding through Rayudu as he swings to leg. Woodwork demolished - literally, in this case. But the partnership between Rayudu and Pooran has rescued this MIE innings 135/4

    5.2 a dolly for Bravo. Smith backs away to launch it over the bowler's head but it was a slower one and he ends up miscuing it towards mid-off. A simple catch for Bravo there 48/1
    13.2 goes for the big hit - but can't clear long-on! Vince departs and the chase hits the skids. Boult was the man back and he tracked it all the way into his hands. Was close enough to the rope that he needed to do a little hop-and-toss before completing the catch, but no doubt about it despite the third umpire check. Giants beginning to wobble 101/4
    5.3 two in two for Farooqi. A length ball just outside off. Cox looked to steer it behind point only to chop it on 48/2
    11.5 googly, top-edged to point! Usman departs with the asking rate just beginning to get ticklish for Giants. Salamkheil angled this across, asking him hit against the turn in pursuit of a boundary, and a dolly inside the ring was the result 96/3
    18.3 full and wide, jammed into the off side, Hetmyer wants the strike... Farooqi underarmed into the stumps, and this could be two in two! Hetmyer dived full length for his ground, but didn't manage to ground any of his bat over the line! Almost the entire bat was over the line, but unfortunately it had bounced up (without being grounded initially, which would have saved Hetmyer). Giants lose both set batters from successive balls and quite possibly the game with them 155/6
    18.2 bowled 'im! Farooqi lands another blow! Pace on, perfect length, rattles into the top of middle and off. Will that finally fell the Giants chase? Wasn't there for Overton to hit but he tried to anyway, heaving across the line - and zing went the bails 155/5
    19.2 swings hard, big top edge and Boult completes the dismissal! Janat toe-ended this almost straight up and it was a pretty straightforward catch running across towards cover 157/8
    18.4 fired in full and straight from round the wicket, 137kph and thumps the pads. Jordan was walking across his stumps and Pooran calls for a review. This could be close. Struck him in line with off, I reckon. Yes, it's three reds, smashing into middle stump! Farooqi has two in three balls and Giants are crumbling 155/7

    19.4 short ball, hoicked to deep square leg! Mujeeb holes out to the man running in off the rope and this one is almost done and dusted for MI Emirates 159/9
