- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.3 Amir strikes! Giants are thinking about a review, and they do not look convinced. Lyth has to depart. It's a full length ball around middle and off, nips back enough to trap him in front as he misses a push 2/14.2 Straight to Curran at mid-on! No timing at all on that one. Full length delivery around off stump, Rehan looks to go big but it comes off from the toe end of the bat to mid-on 23/25.3 Curran and keeper appeal for a caught behind. Vipers are celebrating but umpire is not convinced. Ferguson decides to review this. Short of a length ball, Cox looks to pull this away. Did he get any bat on it? UltraEdge shows there is a clear spike from outside edge of the bat. Cox has to depart. Giants are three down inside the powerplay 31/36.4 Cleaned up! Poor from Robinson. He looks to play a reverse sweep to this wrong'un pitched full and misses it completely. The ball crashes onto his leg stump. Looked like a premeditated shot. Giants in big trouble 35/49.3 Ferguson strikes again! Giants are collapsing here. Full length ball outside off stump at 145kmph, Hetmyer tries to throw his bat at it, gets an outside edge towards mid off where Ali takes a superb catch after jogging back a little 46/59.5 Adair gone! Excellent bowling from Ferguson. He bowls a short of a length ball outside off stump, Adair looks to guide this past keeper but gets a thick edge towards keeper. Six down inside 10 overs 50/614.6 Short ball approach works again! Banged in short, Aayan awkwardly looks to pull this away towards leg side. Ball goes high and straight to Naseer at deep backward square leg 83/715.4 Another wicket for Amir! Nice variation there. He goes fuller down the leg, swinging in and pace off, Saghir moves back and looks to hit this big with no control and it goes straight into the hands of Curran at extra cover 89/819.6 length ball moving away, Vince hits this towards deep extra cover. Vince wanted a second run but Mills was short of the crease at the non-striker's end when AMir took the bails off 119/9Extras10 (lb 2, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL119/9 (20 Overs, RR: 5.95)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Adam Lyth, 0.3 ov), 2-23 (Rehan Ahmed, 4.2 ov), 3-31 (Jordan Cox, 5.3 ov), 4-35 (Ollie Robinson, 6.4 ov), 5-46 (Shimron Hetmyer, 9.3 ov), 6-50 (Mark Adair, 9.5 ov), 7-83 (Aayan Afzal Khan, 14.6 ov), 8-89 (Saghir Khan, 15.4 ov), 9-119 (Tymal Mills, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.1 Adair strikes first ball! Length ball pitched around off stump swinging in sharply to rattle the middle stump. Maybe Fakhar Zaman got a faint edge as well. What a ball to begin the over! 7/110.5 Straight to mid-on! Hales finally departs after a 30-ball 20. Muzarabani bowled a short ball wide of off stump, Hales skipped down for a heave but didn't connect it at all. Comes off the edge to Adair on the leg side 56/31.3 Two wickets in an over for Adair! Full length delivery outside off stump, outswinger, impatient Lawrence charges down and hits this high in the air towards mid on where Mills takes the catch. It comes off his thick outside edge too 7/212.2 Gone! Full length delivery on leg stump, Azam Khan did not watch this ball fully and looks to loft this towards leg side but it comes off the leading edge and goes high and towards Aayan at extra cover. Poor shot 66/4Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL121/4 (17.4 Overs, RR: 6.84)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Fakhar Zaman, 1.1 ov), 2-7 (Dan Lawrence, 1.3 ov), 3-56 (Alex Hales, 10.5 ov), 4-66 (Azam Khan, 12.2 ov)
