- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.3 fuller ball outside the off stump. Gunasekera sweeps and gets a top edge. Stirling runs in from deep square-leg and takes a supreme catch 54/40.5 fuller ball outside the off stump. Patel has a go at it. The ball swung late. Patel who was drawn into the drive finds the outside edge and Stirling gladly takes it at first slip 1/17 and that's a wicket for him off the final ball of his spell. He drags Kumar forward with a length ball. Kumar is looking to square-drive and gets a faint outside edge. Enough for Wilson to go up in glee as he pouches the ball 38/28.2 and that's the arm-ball. Hansra comes forward in an attempt to defend it. He leaves a huge gap between the pad and the bat. Enough for the ball to slip in and hit the off stump 42/311.1 short ball outside the off stump. Cheema looks to flick it over the top. He doesn't get enough wood as Dockrell has to run to his right from mid-on and take the catch 55/518.3 fuller ball outside the off stump. Gordon comes down the track and lofts it straight down the throat of O'Brein at long-off 96/814.2 short ball outside the off stump. Baidwan is stuck on the backfoot and looks to drive. He gets an inside edge and he hears the death rattle. He should be disappointed with his shot selection 67/616.5 short ball outside the off stump. Bhatti moves across and looks to cut it. He gets an outside edge back to the keeper 81/7Extras8 (lb 6, w 2)TOTAL106/8 (20 Overs, RR: 5.3)Did not bat: Zahid HussainFall of wickets: 1-1 (Hiral Patel, 0.5 ov), 2-38 (Nitish Kumar, 6.6 ov), 3-42 (Jimmy Hansra, 8.2 ov), 4-54 (Ruvindu Gunasekera, 10.3 ov), 5-55 (Rizwan Cheema, 11.1 ov), 6-67 (Harvir Baidwan, 14.2 ov), 7-81 (Rustam Bhatti, 16.5 ov), 8-96 (Tyson Gordon, 18.3 ov)
