- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2 fuller and slower outside the off stump. A touch wider than the ball that Porterfield played a chipped drive off. He wants to play a similar shot but since the line is a bit wider, he only gets an edge to point, which is taken easily 7/15.4 he has been making room often to play the shots on the off side. Guruge decides to follow him this time around. Stirling looks to go inside out and misses. The ball just shaves the outside half of the leg stump, enough to dislodge the bails 36/34.3 with the ball not turning much, Shannon thinks he can come in the line of the delivery and play it straight. He is caught out by the arm-ball as he is struck in front of the off stump. The bowlers are making inroads into this impressive batting line-up 30/213.3 looks to sweep and misses. there was no doubt in the umpire's mind as to where it was headed- the stumps. And he was right 83/57.3 reverse sweeps again and finds the lone man in the circle on the off side at short fine-leg. That was a poor shot by Wilson 42/419.1 looks to reverse sweep and gets the toe of the bat as it goes to the fielder at cover. Amjad had to dive back to take the catch 140/718.5 looks to go for the lofted shot again. This time, Mustafa spears it in. Johnston can't get any bat on it and is bowled 138/619.4 he looks to go for the slog and gets an inside edge that is to the right of the keeper. Sorensen wants to get to the other end . The keeper fumbles in collecting the ball, but he has time enough to throw the stumps down from a distance of couple of meters 143/8Extras9 (lb 7, w 2)TOTAL147/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35)Did not bat: TJ MurtaghFall of wickets: 1-7 (William Porterfield, 1.6 ov), 2-30 (James Shannon, 4.3 ov), 3-36 (Paul Stirling, 5.4 ov), 4-42 (Gary Wilson, 7.3 ov), 5-83 (Kevin O'Brien, 13.3 ov), 6-138 (Trent Johnston, 18.5 ov), 7-140 (John Mooney, 19.1 ov), 8-143 (Max Sorensen, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Azam's tortured stay at the crease comes to an end as he tamely pulls it to mid-on. That's the first wicket down for UAE 17/14.1 yorker length delivery on the off stump. Shaiman goes for one slog too many as he is bowled by Sorensen. A deserved wicket 26/210.1 short ball outside the off stump. Javed looks to pull and manages to loft it to the fielder at long-on. Shannon runs back a bit and completes an easy catch 45/44.4 pitches it in line and gets the batsman going back. It straightens a touch and Khurram Khan is hit on the back pad. There must be no doubt in anybody's mind as to where it was headed. UAE in a spot of bother now 26/311.5 fuller ball on the off stump. Patil lofts it to mid-off where Dockrell takes an easy catch 60/517.4 skips out of the crease in an attempt to loft it and is beaten in flight. Easy stumping for Wilson 85/1012.3 comes forward and chips it straight into the hands of O'Brien at midwicket 62/612.4 fuller and slower outside the off stump. Enough to lure Asim to have a poke at it. That's two in two for Murtagh 62/714.2 good length ball on the off stump. Aziz swings wildly and misses. That's the third wicket for the man who took 60 wickets in the county season 68/817 hits it straight to the fielder at midwicket and that's nine down for UAE 85/9Extras7 (b 4, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL85 all out (17.4 Overs, RR: 4.81)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Mohammad Azam, 2.2 ov), 2-26 (Shaiman Anwar, 4.1 ov), 3-26 (Khurram Khan, 4.4 ov), 4-45 (Amjad Javed, 10.1 ov), 5-60 (Swapnil Patil, 11.5 ov), 6-62 (Mohammad Shafiq, 12.3 ov), 7-62 (Asim Khurshid, 12.4 ov), 8-68 (Nasir Aziz, 14.2 ov), 9-85 (Shadeep Silva, 16.6 ov), 10-85 (Rohan Mustafa, 17.4 ov)
