- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 gone at deep third! Hope slashes hard at this overpitched ball outside off but it flies off the edge and carries to the fielder down there! 28/15.2 length ball angling into him. Pulled, but mistimed, and the trailing fielder running around the boundary line at deep square leg takes a sharp catch! It's Hetmyer! 43/27.5 oh he's gottim! Full ball just outside off. Goes straight through with the batter coming down the track. He misses, keeper does the rest. 62/313.1 Muzarabani with a stunning effort! Full ball on middle and leg. Raza tries to hack it over the leg side. But it takes the leading edge and instead goes to short third. Muzarabani keeps his eyes on the action, races forward, and then dives ahead to complete the catch 107/415.1 holes out to long on! Length ball on middle, but skids through and gets onto the batter quickly. Flat-batted to long on 120/518.3 full ball around off. Uses the bottom hand to try and clear the boundary at deep midwicket but no mistake on the line by the fielder lurking 146/618.5 Holes out at long on this time. Another short of good length ball just outside off and the batter tries to take on the bowler right from the first ball. Mistimed, and he drags this straight to long on. 150/7Extras7 (lb 1, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL165/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.25)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Shai Hope, 3.2 ov), 2-43 (Ben Dunk, 5.2 ov), 3-62 (Brandon McMullen, 7.5 ov), 4-107 (Sikandar Raza, 13.1 ov), 5-120 (Rovman Powell, 15.1 ov), 6-146 (Gulbadin Naib, 18.3 ov), 7-150 (Scott Kuggeleijn, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 is that six? No! Fullish ball on middle, and Lyth appears to tonk a slog over midwicket for six but it's been mis-hit, and the man at deep midwicket running around the boundary line takes a simple one 53/33.1 length ball angling away from him. Vince tries to drag this pace-off delivery through the leg side but it goes high up instead. Gulbadin at midwicket turns around and runs behind and takes a catch from over his shoulder 28/14.3 short of good length ball, around off. Gets big on Zadran as he tries to play it down the V. Absolutely scuffed, and it's popped up for a simple catch to mid off 35/210.5 drags it to the deep for a wicket! Length ball just outside off. Cox tries to manufacture a shot by swiping across the line, but it's absolutely mistimed. Taken well inside the boundary line at deep midwicket 88/4Extras1 (nb 1)TOTAL168/4 (18.1 Overs, RR: 9.24)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (James Vince, 3.1 ov), 2-35 (Ibrahim Zadran, 4.3 ov), 3-53 (Adam Lyth, 7.2 ov), 4-88 (Jordan Cox, 10.5 ov)
