    11.4 Picks out deep midwicket! Tossed up with lots of revs gave it more air, the UAE-player Sagar Kalyan charges in and takes a superb diving catch, Knight Riders get a massive breakthrough, a much-needed one that might just decelerate the run-flow 103/1
    13.2 Over the wicket, good length on middle and off, whangs it away in the air and straight into the hands of Josh Little at long-on! Giants lose their second, two wickets in quick succession, both set batters back in the hut. It's an opportunity for Knight Riders to make use of the window and stem the run-flow 110/2
    15.1 Short and wide, thrashes it with no feet movement to cover, Narine with a sharp catch, dropped one earlier but this time he hangs onto it brilliantly, snaffled it under his throat. Good breakthrough because he is a dangerous customer who make can make you pay in the death overs 124/3

    10.6 Through the gate and pings the leg stump bail! Completely befuddles him with a cracking delivery! Stepped away leg side to swing him over midwicket but got beaten by the scorcher that straightened a touch and fizzed through the deck, smart bowling and Roy stood there for a while before reality dawned on him, appreciated the bowler 102/3
    0.4 Wow, majestic from Hetmyer! Made the ground quickly and took a staggering catch! Tentatively chases the away curler and gets a leading edge that balloons up, Hetmyer tracks the ball perfectly and takes a superb diving catch, has to be one of the best catches of the league! 1/1
    4.4 And Overton has the last laugh! That's a well-directed awkward short one that kicks up and he gets a top-edge, keeper settles under it gobbles it gleefully. Cliche but it is a crucial breakthrough, much-needed one for Giants 51/2
    11.4 Shimmy down the track to go for a big hit without sizing up Zubair at all and duly perishes, nowhere near the ball as it spun away from off and Smith didn't miss it on this occasion, clean stumping and Alishan has to go! Twist in the tale! Zuhaib Zubair produces the first bit of magic on an important night 104/4

    14.5 Skies a pull! Bouncer dug in and it's growing on him, tries to get on top and slug him over midwicket, top-edge sits up nicely for James Vince and mid-on who pouches it safely, that will raise the hopes of Gulf Giants fans; one more wicket and they are right back in this contest. 133/5
    16.3 141/6
    18.4 Whoa! It's all happening out there! Flicks this toe-crusher to Muzarabani at square leg and he was keen on taking the second, throw was pinpoint accurate, keeper whipped off the bails and that little bit of greediness results in his demise! OUT on the big screen and David Willey has to go! 156/7
    18.5 My word, I cannot believe this! Gottim with an absolute peach Chris Jordan rises to the occasion and lifts the entire up! That is SCREAMER! Length ball with bit of reverse I reckon and through his massive swish across the line, disturbs the furniture and ADKR have all the right to feel nervous now. Serious pace and accuracy getting better of him! 156/8
    19.5 Drama continues. Over the wicket, nails a pinpoint accurate yorker and he forces it down to long-on and can't make it in time for the second run, fielder hits the bull's eye and the ninth wicket is down! 162/9
