    4.1 Height makes the difference as Holder gets Fakhar with his first ball. Looked like the cutter, Landed on a length and kept rising, Fakhar committed to the powerful pull but couldn't cope with the fizzing bounce. Thickish edge, high off the bat, goes up and straight back to the bowler 34/1
    11.2 Hales checking if that was a bump ball but is happy to walk off. Was a wide yorker, around the tramline. Hales had the fully open-faced bat reaching out to try and divert it in the gap. He had a four over short third earlier but found Russell there this time 105/2
    15.6 Taken at deep midwicket, no fifty for Lawrence. Decent innings though. He walked across to the off side again, got the full ball that he wanted while standing deep in the crease. Tried slugging it over cow corner but plated it to the fielder running around 144/3
    19.2 Pulled high... Holder runs to the left from long-on, and takes it! He travelled some distance, had a team-mate in his vision but composed himself, took it while having to turn to the right. Was a back of lengther on off to which Curran made room and hoisted 185/4
    19.6 Azam can't steal a bye as Mayers beats him on the race to the non-striker's end. Was a wide length ball, beyond Azam's swinging arc. He tried to heave it over the leg side but was done in by the angle, lack of pace and bounce 193/5

    0.4 Catch it is the call, and Sowter takes a comfy low catch at deep square leg. Amir delivered from behind the crease, went fullish and outside off. Salt top-edged the slog sweep and the ball floated down. Sowter lunged while on one knee and took it with fingers pointing up. He was helped by the fact that he was right behind it 2/1
    7.6 Self-assist brilliance from Wood at deep square leg! He was close to the ropes, in motion. He took the ball and his upper-body was falling behind as he turned around; he threw the ball back in. A few feet forward. Deep midwicket was running in, but Wood himself had enough time to catch the lobbed ball. Was a full ball on middle, Mayers got across and slog swept with the wind, not enough in the end 68/2
    10.5 Run out at the non-striker's end as Sowter parries a powered slash onto the stumps! Clarke was a couple of feet outside his crease and had too much to do in the end. Was a loopy fullish ball outside off, Narine got the bat high and cuffed it to the bowler's right. Two wickets in the over, Vipers well in front now 83/4
    10.3 Finger no issue for Sowter, he flights one and gets Asalanka. The batter tried to go inside out but got the drive off the outer-part of the bat 83/3
    11.3 Goes again for the slog sweep, it's taken at deep midwicket! Was a full ball on leg that hit the splice of the bat. Floated straight to the fielder in the deep 90/5
    12.4 Another stunner from Wood! He parried one back to himself earlier, now he's thrown the ball to his team-mate who was about ten feet away, mid-air, while jumping back! He twirled to the right to get his body facing the right direction, took it with both hands, and the fact that he had enough power to control an above-head throw is astonishing. Just to confirm, he threw it before landing, which he did beyond the ropes. Was a flat, shortish ball that Russell pulled with all his might. Big swivel too. Ball was going flat off the bat too. ADKR slip from 83 for 2 to 98 for 7 98/7
    12.1 Sharp catch behind and it's given! Evans reviews straightaway. Was a length ball, legbreak, that landed on off and spun away a touch. Evans' feet were jammed as he tried to punch it towards cover, Ultra-Edge has a spike with ball next to outside edge, he's a goner. 91/6
    17.4 Shortish ball has been pulled straight to deep midwicket and that completes a clinical win for Vipers 140/10
    13.3 Done him with a yorker on leg stump. Willey shaped to sweep but realised the length isn't there, decided last second he'd block it with a straight bat. Got beaten by the pace 101/8
    14.6 Small mix-up, direct hit at the striker's from cover. Keeper's convinced Holder's gone! Replay's in and Holder is indeed short. He wanted to retain strike, so he pushed the fullish ball to the infielder. Didn't go for the sixth straight boundary. He went for the run straightaway but realised the ball went too close and quickly to the fielder. What's more Hasaranga hit the stumps direct 128/9
