0.2 Waseem departs as Joe Denly takes an absolute blinder at cover! Got the ball nibbling away and Waseem hurriedly throws his bat it and spoons it to Denly who swooped to his right and took a sensational catch! Waseem cannot believe it, shake of the head, but has to go! Success straightaway for Warriors! Woakes right on money, no looseners to start the proceedings 0/1

9.5 Mix-up in the middle! Carom ball from round the wicket thugs into the pads and prompts a lbw shout, not given but hold on, that's a dicey call of a run! Kusal Perera seems short of his crease at the non-striker's end, he puts in a full length dive but Theekshana collects the sharp throw from Hameed at point and whips off the bails in a flash. He is walking off, he knows he didn't make it. 93/3

9.4 slings a yorker on middle and it crashes the bottom of middle stump! Fletcher is bamboozled, he has no clue and wasn't anticipating that delivery at all! But he has played a crucial knock of 42 and his innings was laced with four fours and two sixes. He would have dearly liked to continue but you got to applaud Theekshana for his smartness here. 93/2

19.3 Hung in the air for a while snaffled by Denly at long-off, this time he makes sure to watch it closely and it doesn't pop out. Pooran with a non-fluent knock goes back in the hut. Superb bowling again from Jawadullah who has been such a revelation 172/6

12.2 Stumps shattered, what a sight for the bowler, look away Rayudu! Jawadullah brings something different to the table, certainly an aberration. Goes full and it's moving from middle, he tries to clonk it to the leg side but ends making a horrible mess of his stumps. 105/4

16.5 That is that. Daniel sticks to his guns and gets the massive breakthrough! Shortens his length and it's a cross-seam delivery wide of off bouncing steeply, he tried to scythe it away behind point but ends up getting a fat edge to the keeper! Smiles all around for SW 143/5

19.4 Gottim with a toe-crusher! Bowling straight and bowling gas, he reminds me of RP Singh. Creates awkward angles and is very accurate. Hosein tries to smash him over midwicket but ends up missing the line 172/7

5.4 Slow ball does the trick! Fraction short and came in prodigiously from outside off from round the wicket angle, too close to cut but he goes for the shot and sees the furniture getting disturbed. Sharjah Warriors progress beset by the frequent loss of wickets 46/4

0.6 gottim with an absolute peach! He was turning the ball extravagantly and this one came back sharply as well from off, through the gate and lights up the zingers, Hosein loved it, Charles, the danger in-form man, departs early in the piece; he was trying to punch that through covers but didn't account for the turn. Perfect start for MI Emirates! 3/1

1.3 Chipped back to Boult and second wicket fells! Whoa, MI Emirates couldn't have asked for a better start. Short of a length, swerving in at middle and leg, TKC tries to swipe it through the line, it hits him high on the bat and Boult does the rest, great awareness and reflexes to pouch it in his follow-through. Warriors off to a disastrous start on this tricky pitch which is not easy to bat 4/2

4.2 Chipped in the air straight to Tim David! Pitches it up at the stumps and Dickwella, who was batting so well, loses the plot with a miscued shot in the air and Tim David happily reverse cups it. So just when the momentum was shifting, MI Emirates have applied brakes again with a timely wicket. This is only going to make the task tougher for SW 37/3

7.2 Eased back to the bowler in the air and Hosein gobbles it up, another soft dismissal. He looks disconsolate after perishing on six. 181 target seems light years away now. Warriors staring into the abyss 56/5

10.6 Gone! over the wicket, fuller on middle and leg, goes down on one knee and hits it straight to Fletcher at deep midwicket who takes a few steps in from the rope and pockets the catch down his throat. The supersub doesn't get left behind and adds his name to the wicket column 68/9

7.4 Trent Boult takes a stunning running catch at mid-off, charged in from the deep and timed the dive to perfection, that's like a cheetah chasing its prey. Basil Hameed shimmied down the track and played it across the line, threw away his wicket 56/6

7.5 Appeal in unison for an lbw and the umpire raises the dreaded finger. Tossed up a bit short and straightening at leg stump as he tries to flick it away. Nothing on the ultra-edge. Let's move on to ball tracking. Pitching outside off, impact in line and it's umpire's call on leg, just clipping the leg stump. Sams goes without bothering the scorers and Hosein has picked up his fourth wicket. He could be a nightmare for batters in the T20 World Cup if he gets picked in the West Indies squad, well right now he is on hattrick 56/7

8.4 Chopped on! DJ Bravo turns back the years and is still amusing the cricket aficionados with his cunning methods. It's a treat to watch him still in action. Woakes meanwhile also goes on naught. It was a shortish ball wide of off, he threw the kitchen sink at it and ends up dragging it back onto his stumps. Time for a strategic timeout but I think it's too late to devise any strategies now. They should at-least try to play out the overs and avoid a massive blow to their net-run-rate 57/8

12.1 Jawadullah perishes as Sharjah Warriros bundle out on 74 which is the lowest total in the history of ILT20. They have capitated big time and succumbed under pressure, almost a no-show with the bat after bowling splendidly in the middle overs. Nicely tossed up delivery and lures him with the bait, he tries to go for a full-blooded slog sweep and makes a mess of his stumps. 74/10
