- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.6 Zampa's lucky to have QDK holed out at mid-off. QDK danced down the ground, read the googly and got to the pitch of the ball. But it was on leg stump and the shot attempted aimed to go over mid-off/extra cover. He toed it straight to Narine, who jumped a bit and took it around chest-height. Zampa did toss the ball up there. 32/14.6 Taken at short third but the batter's staying in, they're checking for the no-ball. Not front-foot but a second-bouncer thing. Anway leant back and tried to ramp it. Couldn't manufacture enough room, the ball looked a bit around shoulder height but Anwar was leaning back. That means the bouncer isn't too high. Spencer timed his jump well at short third and took a high catch took his right. Anwar's quickfire 32 comes to an end 45/28.4 Narine outsmarts Klaasen to knock over the stumps. Klaasen made room again but Narine darted a carrom ball on a length. The around-the-wicket angle took the ball away. Klaasen tried to go over cover again, the ball kept low. Klaasen tried to get low and check his shot, missed it and got his off stump rattled 81/313.1 Slog sweep is top edged. Flies straight to deep forward square. It was a bit too full and slow for the shot 104/414.2 Skier goes nowhere. Taken at cover. It was a fullish ball that Shanaka tried to whip down over long-on. Got it off the toe end 113/519.3 Misses the reverse lap, gets hit on the pad right in front. Lbw given right away. Imad was walking, turned back to go for a last-ditch review. It was a fullish ball that hit him in front of off, his feet were bent and he tried to slice it away Eoin-Morgan-to-Ravi-Rampaul style, sans the follow-through. Got hit in front of all three. Hawk-Eye shows it was going on to hit middle and off 168/6Extras8 (b 2, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL170/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.5)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Quinton de Kock, 3.6 ov), 2-45 (Nauman Anwar, 4.6 ov), 3-81 (Heinrich Klaasen, 8.4 ov), 4-104 (Shubham Ranjane, 13.1 ov), 5-113 (Dasun Shanaka, 14.2 ov), 6-168 (Imad Wasim, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.1 It gets worse as Imad skittles Roy. Length ball lands around middle, turns away subtly. Roy had made room and tried to cut it through point. He missed and the ball rattled middle and off. 8/31.2 Jayasuriya runs back and takes an excellent catch. He was looking up and hobbling a bit, managed to watch it through and lunge forward to maintain balance. The ball was on a back of length over middle, Malhotra was dancing down. Gave a bit of room to himself and tried to flap it over midwicket. Top edge takes it to backward point 4/11.6 Gannon's too quick, has Gajanand glove the pull back to the keeper. Not that short a ball. It was around waist-height, coming into the body. Gajanand tried to pull it fine but got cramped. It went right up and QDK took a dolly. Gannon's got two off his first. 8/24.4 Top edge off the slashing blade is taken at point. Saif goes, LAKR reeling at 22 for 4. Saif was walking down and got a hard-length ball outside off. Tried to go over the infield, got caught by Anwar 22/411.5 Russell goes on one knee and skies it to long-off. It was given air, was outside off. Russell tried to swipe it across, got it high and to Klaasen near the boundary 89/513.1 There's one. Tries to take on the midwicket boundary but the slower ball foxes Narine. It was on a length around off, Narine had an almighty smite at it but got it off the toe. Bread-basket catch for the man in the deep. Tye pumps the air in celebration 105/614.3 Two fielders converge and almost collide. Imad calls and does well to take it. Shortish ball angling down was pulled, went off the top edge. The fielders zig zagged across each other, Imad was running back from short fine. He took it with Shanuka, running in, right next to him 122/716.2 Jones comes in from deep cover and takes a good sliding catch. Ball was on a length outside off, Zampa sliced it off the top edge in an attempt to carve it squarer. Man from cover was running back but had to pull out, Jones chugged at full steam to make it 135/8Extras6 (lb 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL175/8 (19.1 Overs, RR: 9.13)Did not bat: Ali KhanFall of wickets: 1-4 (Jaskaran Malhotra, 1.2 ov), 2-8 (Gajanand Singh, 1.6 ov), 3-8 (Jason Roy, 2.1 ov), 4-22 (Saif Badar, 4.4 ov), 5-89 (Andre Russell, 11.5 ov), 6-105 (Sunil Narine, 13.1 ov), 7-122 (Shadley van Schalkwyk, 14.3 ov), 8-135 (Adam Zampa, 16.2 ov)
