- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Bowes bites the dust! Back of a length delivery outside off stump that climbs onto Bowes. He tries to swipe it away but the ball gets too big on him. Skews up off the top edge and Zahoor does just enough at short third man, gobbling it up after a slight juggle! 16/14.6 what a catch! NZ are two down! Short delivery on off stump and this seems to hurry onto Seifert. He tries to hack it away but the extra pace and bounce means that he top-edges it. The ball arrows to Hameed's right at deep backward square leg. He judges it to perfection, dives to his right and snares a sharp chance! 35/214.6 Young perishes, and Siddique is pumped! Beautifully-disguised slower delivery that pitches on a full length outside off. Young tries to go inside out but loses his shape completely. Slices it up into the air and extra cover, running back, takes a smart catch! 119/316.4 holes out to deep backward square leg, Siddique has three! Back of a length delivery on leg stump that seems to just stick in the surface a little. Chapman tries to heave it away but the lack of pace means that he shanks it. The ball arrows off the toe-end and straight down the fielder's throat! 135/419.4 soft dismissal! Another slower delivery dug into the track outside off. Foxcroft is again a week early into the stroke and mistimes it badly. The ball spoons up and Waseem does the rest at extra cover! Foxcroft never came to grips with Zahoor's variations! 159/5Extras7 (b 1, lb 2, w 4)TOTAL166/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.3)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Chad Bowes, 2.2 ov), 2-35 (Tim Seifert, 4.6 ov), 3-119 (Will Young, 14.6 ov), 4-135 (Mark Chapman, 16.4 ov), 5-159 (Dean Foxcroft, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.1 stumped by a mile! Darted in on a length outside off and the ball, even after pitching, keeps coming in with the arm. Might have been a seam-up arm ball, and Aryansh has no clue about it. He advances (perhaps pre-meditates it) and is nowhere near the pitch of the ball. Swishes, misses and Seifert has all the time in the world to effect the stumping! 44/31.4 edged and taken! Waseem has to go, what a moment in the game! Length delivery angled across the batter outside off. Waseem comes down the track and tries to tonk it into tomorrow. Loses his shape completely and only manages to feather it through to Seifert! 8/14.3 Jamieson gets Aravind again! Dug into the track outside off and Aravind's eyes light up. He gets into position for the pull but the ball comes off a little slower than he expects. Gets it off the toe-end and he picks out Young at mid wicket to absolute perfection. Jamieson gives Aravind a bit of a send-off too, and UAE are now two down! 29/28.3 Adithya Ashok has his first T20I wicket - the first of many, you'd guess! Flighted up again and Asif's eyes light up. He plants his front foot and tries to smash it over long on. He is not to the pitch of the ball, though, meaning that he cannot get the power he is after. Hits it straight to long on and Ravindra gobbles it up! 53/48.5 Tandon has run himself out, oh dear! Very full delivery on leg stump. Hameed tucks it towards mid wicket and calls for the single. Tandon is always struggling to get to the other end and his woes are compounded as the fielder hits the stumps at the batter's end, catching Tandon a few yards short of his ground! 53/518.2 picks out mid off to perfection! Full on leg stump. Aayan backs away and tries to get under it. Does not get under it enough, though, and hits it straight to Southee! A vibrant knock but it was always a case of this being too little, too late! 121/618.4 Lister has another! Wonderfully-disguised slower ball that pitches on a length outside off and sticks in the surface. Faraazuddin has not picked this one bit and ends up spooning it tamely to Santner at extra cover! 122/7Extras18 (lb 3, w 15)TOTAL134/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.7)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Muhammad Waseem, 1.4 ov), 2-29 (Vriitya Aravind, 4.3 ov), 3-44 (Aryansh Sharma, 7.1 ov), 4-53 (Asif Khan, 8.3 ov), 5-53 (Ansh Tandon, 8.5 ov), 6-121 (Aayan Afzal Khan, 18.2 ov), 7-122 (Mohammed Faraazuddin, 18.4 ov)
