    12.4 Vince tickles an edge down leg! Fletcher knew it, celebrates immediately... and up goes the finger! Spinning down leg and turned straight into the gloves. Another bowling change pays off straight away for MIE, the big wicket of Vince. Giants struggling now 89/5
    4.2 swivels around and aims a reverse slog-sweep, hit on the back leg - given! Cox has a chat with his captain and reviews. No bat involved, looks pretty adjacent. Yep, would have spun through on the line of middle and off, hitting the timbers three-quarters of the way up. Off you go, son. MIE have the breakthrough they needed 44/1
    8.5 bowled 'im, neck and crop! Lynn didn't know what was coming down and exposes his stumps to play a wild hack, allowing a hard-spun leggie to come back and hit middle. Salamkheil strikes as the Gulf slowdown continues 68/2
    10.3 straight through him! Lovely bowling from Salamkheil. Pace up, maybe out the front of the hand, scrambled seam and zipping on to hit off stump as Hetmyer played back. Another Gulf Giant bites the dust against spin 74/3
    11.4 nicked him off! Pace and some movement going across the bows, Erasmus has a little fiddle and steers an edge through to Fletcher. Smith in the wickets now and MIE taking a grip on this game 83/4

    16.2 flubbed to long-off! Overton winds up for the big shot but sends it straight to the man running in, well taken by Boult. Salamkheil has varied his flight and pace superbly tonight and picks up a third wicket of the piece 117/6
    17.5 dug in short, Drakes is sconed on the helmet shoulder... and then beaten by the throw from short third! Bad luck for the big man, who was called through by his partner but had barely regained his composure as he scrambled for his ground at the non-striker's end. Lovely work from Boult to stick out a hand and deflect the ball directly into the stumps 136/7

    10.2 skied to mid-on, Kusal goes! Slower ball, a loopy offcutter from round the wicket and Kusal hit it high into the Dubai sky. That makes it a tough catch as the ball plummets to earth, but VInce took it well over his head before falling to the turf. Another big blow landed by Giants 70/4
    3.1 slogged into the leg side - doesn't have the distance! Waseem was hitting against the angle and to the longer side of the ground. Well taken a few yards in from the rope at deep square leg, Giants have their first 22/1
    5.3 slower ball, sliced to backward point! Fletcher throws the hands at one served up wide of the stumps but only manages to pick out the fielder in the ring. Hetmyer takes it tumbling over to his right. Jordan strikes with his third ball and Giants knock over another in the powerplay 40/2
    6.6 takes him on but holes out! The teenager does the job in his first over! Rayudu trudges off after making 1 from six balls, not the impact you want from your super sub (he also dropped a catch). Charged at Aayan but didn't get to the pitch and picks out long-on 48/3
    10.4 short outside off, pushed into the covers - and Overton beats him with a direct hit! Pollard was coming all day, Mousley hesitated and that was his undoing. Overton swoops, turns and hurls down the stumps, with the batter well short of his ground 72/5
    18.3 Jordan outfoxes Pollard and he is ecstatic! Massive wicket, and Jordan has out-thought him. Pollard moved across to play the scoop, but he bowled it wider. He then opened the face to get it over short third but couldn't make good contact. Muzarabani runs forward and holds on. This is the first time Jordan has dismissed Pollard in T20s! What a time to do it 127/7
    17.4 Goes length and Smith does not get the distance. Overton moves away from the yorker and bowls it back of a length. Smith goes for the heave to the longest part of the ground, does not connect well. Cox gets around at deep midwicket and takes a well-judged catch 123/6
