- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.4 Excellent catch from Keemo Paul running in from deep point! It's a slower ball wide outside off, Dunk looks for the big shot over cover, but is deceived by the change of pace and has no control over it. It goes a mile up in the air, Paul dives forward and holds on to it, and then the ball bobbles out as his elbow hits the ground. Paul somehow manages to use his body to trap the ball before it hit the ground. Great athleticism and excellent presence of mind to secure the ball after the bobble. Much-needed breakthrough for the Warriorz. 41/18.6 Rashid has the last laugh! This one is a grubber, really unlucky for McMullen. This was pushed through flatter and quicker, and back of a length on middle stump. McMullen looks to repeat that shot which went for a boundary earler, but the ball just doesn't get up, so it sneaks under his bat and rattles the timber. 76/214.6 Janat has reward for a very good over. He had Raza's number throughout the over, and now sends the Capitals' skipper back. It was again back of a length and outside off, Raza looks to drive it over extra cover, but gets a top edge. Milne runs in from sweeper cover, slides and holds on to it. 137/319.1 This time, the Warriorz hold on to a chance! It's Karim Janat, who holds on after a little bit of confusion. Really full ball on leg stump from Southee, Powell looks to whip it over midwicket, but gets a thick leading edge that loops to Janat at extra cover. 191/419.3 Four and out for Shanaka! Short from Southee this time, rushes Shanaka as he looked to play the pull shot, a top edge skews to short fine leg where Rashid takes an easy catch. 195/5Extras10 (b 2, lb 2, nb 3, w 3)TOTAL201/5 (20 Overs, RR: 10.05)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Ben Dunk, 4.4 ov), 2-76 (Brandon McMullen, 8.6 ov), 3-137 (Sikandar Raza, 14.6 ov), 4-191 (Rovman Powell, 19.1 ov), 5-195 (Dasun Shanaka, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.4 And that will be that for Roy! Short of a length, Roy looks for a pull shot, doesn't time it at all, Stone runs in from deep midwicket and takes a straightforward catch. 75/25.2 Stone has the breakthrough! No room for Charles to free his hands this time. Seam up delivery on a length on middle and leg, Charles plays a tentative stroke looking to push it down legside, but gets a thick leading edge, which loops nicely to Gulbadin who takes a simple catch at extra cover. 56/115.3 Avishka's fun is over, but was that unforgettable or what? It's short and angling across, he looked for the upper cut and got a thin outside edge. Dunk takes it nicely over his head. Stunning, stunning knock from Avishka, he's made a 200+ run chase look a cakewalk, and gets a standing ovation from his team as he walks back into the dressing room. 182/412.1 The partnership is broken. Slower ball, Mustafa looks to go over extra cover again, but checks his shot after being deceived by the length, but that loops straight into the hands of Shanaka at extra cover. 132/316.3 Janat's attempts at dismissing himself have finally paid off. Slower ball, full on off stump, Janat swipes at it across the line. He gets a thick leading edge on it, and McCoy settles under it and easily pouches it at third. 183/5Extras8 (lb 2, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL202/5 (18.1 Overs, RR: 11.11)Fall of wickets: 1-56 (Johnson Charles, 5.2 ov), 2-75 (Jason Roy, 7.4 ov), 3-132 (Rohan Mustafa, 12.1 ov), 4-182 (Avishka Fernando, 15.3 ov), 5-183 (Karim Janat, 16.3 ov)
