    6.6 Superbly bowled! Pathirana has improved his game a lot over the last few months. Slingy action and thunderbolts creating problems as he bangs in a snorter of a bouncer around the line off and he takes on the short ball, got a top-edge and finds Hasaranga in front of square who takes a stunning running catch at midwicket as Giants lose their second! Both openers back in the hut 46/2
    0.5 Big shout for caught behind! Short of a length and swerves back towards middle, Amir looks convinced he nicked it but no real support from Azam Khan and no reaction from Aleem Dar. Amir convinces Colin Munro to use a review. It was very close to the bat. Amir got that absolutely spot-on! Indeed, there is a deflection as the ball passes the bat and James Vince has to go! That is great awareness and probing stuff from Amir, this is how you bowl with the new ball! Huge breakthrough 5/1
    7.2 Oh my goodness! Lynn what have you done! That's a harmless delivery fired down the leg side and he tries to power this through fine leg with a big sweep but ends up handing a simple catch to Pathirana who is safe as a house in the field. Once again, the Sri Lanka duo work in tandem to puncture Giants! Vipers right on top! 46/3
    13.5 Rolled his fingers on it and landed it on a length slanting across off, 126 kph so not that slow and he gets befuddled, really smart bowling from Amir, he uses his heaps of experience and manages to find a way to fox Cox! He fiddles with wide one unable to judge the pace of the ball and ends up getting a thick edge to Azam Khan who makes no mistake with the gloves, usually very safe with his glovework, what a timely breakthrough for Vipers! 91/5
    11.3 Miscues the skier! Tossed up a biting legbreak on a length around leg stump, gets down low to play a slog sweep, gets a top-edge and gives a regulation catch to Mustafa at midwicket, Giants losing momentum and just when he tried to break the shackles and accelerate, he has got it wrong! 65/4

    15.6 What a tremendous riposte, yorker was on the card and yorker it is! 146 scorching yorker right into the blockhole and he tries to hoist him through the leg side but he can't underneath, bails are off and he goes after a handy cameo! 114/6
    18.3 Luke Wood has taken a gem at deep midwicket with bright sunshine in his eyes but he still manages to hang on! Bouncer dug in and it was growing on him, tries to go big over leg side but got a top-edge, excellent change of tactics from Amir, he is a thinking cricketer! 145/7

    3.3 Brathwaite catches it like a bird catches its prey! That is marvelous caught and bowl, ball gets stuck in his big bucket hands, slower short of a length cutter teasing bowl outside off, gives himself room and tries to mows it downtown but ends up getting the bottom-part of the bat and gets only as far as Brathwaite, wild celebrations from the big man, he is absolutely ecstatic! 23/1
    10.1 Spoons it straight James Vince at cover! That is a soft dismissal! Gave more air and many revs on the ball, little bit of spin outside off, lungs forward and is early through the checked drive, can't keep it down the floor and has to go for 44, not happy with himself but an important contribution nevertheless but he just wanted to keep going 77/2
    16.2 Caught at midwicket! Back of a length angling in from outside off, launches the ball straight into the hands of Overton at deep midwicket and Munro cannot end the game in style, Giants will delay the inevitable result for some more time 159/4
    10.5 Tossed up fuller on middle, tries to smother the spin and club it big over midwicket but hasn't got the distance, got the top-edge and it Hetmyer did't have to move much to gobble that up at deep midwicket, Giants in a spot of bother! That is brave bowling, he is not afraid toss it up and extract turn, getting reward for some good old legspin. Vital breakthrough to thwart Giants chase 79/3
