- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.5 GONE! STUMPED! Hasaranga draws TKC down the wicket again but sends it wide. TKC misses, Azam Khan collects and whips the bails off in one smooth motion. Superb stumping and a crucial wicket for the Vipers. 75/31.2 IS THAT OUT? A wild heave from Johnson Charles, but he swings and misses as the ball carries to the keeper. Not out says the umpire in the middle, the Vipers take the review. Ultra-edge shows the spike as the ball passes the bat and that's out! 4/14.1 AND THAT'S TAKEN!Avishka isn't hanging around and flicks a length ball towards deep backward square leg, where Adam Hose takes a composed catch. Payne strikes again! 17/216.5 CLEAN BOWLED! A big wicket for the Vipers. Amir, around the wicket, with a beauty of a yorker. Roy has no answer as he swings and misses, and falls over as the ball hits the base of middle stump. Nonetheless an excellent innings on the trot from Roy, but the Vipers are stemming the tide late here. 125/615.2 GOT HIM! The debutant gets his first wicket! It's a length ball, angling into the stumps, and Seifert is cramped for room as he attempts a pull shot and misses. Khuzaima doesn't miss and the ball clips the top of leg stump! 117/415.6 RATTLES THE STUMPS AGAIN! Khuzaima has his second in almost identical fashion. Short, Mustafa heaves and misses, the bowler hits the top of leg stump. 119/517.5 GOT HIM! Adam Hose with another superb catch in the deep. Khuzaima sends in a length ball into the stumps and Wells heaves it towards deep mid-wicket, where Hose comes running in to take a diving catch. Excellent fielding. 134/717.6 RATTLES THE STUMPS AGAIN! Khuzaima has a dream debut, finishing with figures of 4-22. He sends in a length ball, Southee misses the line, and the ball clips the top of off stump.

Milne sends a short of length ball well wide of the stump, and Fakhar chases it, swining and cutting the ball square on the off side in the air, where the fielder in the deep takes a comfortable catch.
