- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.2 full outside off, and that's hit over the infield, but wait! Finch, at mid off, puts his hand out and the ball sticks! Almost cleared the infield before the local boy takes an incredible catch. Roy has to go 11/20.4 first-ball duck! Good length ball outside off and zipping straight through, tried to cut late, but takes the outside edge. Sharp take from the keeper 1/112.1 back of a length on off stump and spins into the right hander, smacks his pad as the bowler goes up for the appeal, but Maddinson, the non-striker, is halfway down the pitch! Super pick-up-and-throw from Bravo at short third man, and it's a direct hit! Maddinson is inches short, as his bat gets stuck near the crease. He's got to go! 56/48.2 tossed up full on middle stump, driven along the ground but it takes a leading edge, taken easily by White at long off. A check-drive from the batsman that doesn't have the distance. The ol' dog strikes! 34/317.1 full ball wide outside off and Bravo brings out the Chumpiyaan dance! Wild slog from Billings, and it's only a slice. In the air, and pouched by White at point 88/713.3 good length outside off and it's firmly struck down the ground, but straight down Bravo's throat at long off. Abbott walks back, distraught 64/514.1 slogged, but doesn't have the distance! Good length outside off and Sams tries to send this into the crowd, but it's not off the middle of the bat. Taken by wide long off racing to his right. Another wicket for the Afghan 65/619.5 short and wide outside off, and it's carved on the off side, but Richardson is there at deep point. Easy catch for the big man. It was well struck, but the sliced angle of the bat makes Dwarshuis sky that shot 109/8Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL111/8 (20 Overs, RR: 5.55)Did not bat: WER SomervilleFall of wickets: 1-1 (Peter Nevill, 0.4 ov), 2-11 (Jason Roy, 3.2 ov), 3-34 (Jordan Silk, 8.2 ov), 4-56 (Nic Maddinson, 12.1 ov), 5-64 (Sean Abbott, 13.3 ov), 6-65 (Daniel Sams, 14.1 ov), 7-88 (Sam Billings, 17.1 ov), 8-109 (Ben Dwarshuis, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.5 dragged on! Full outside off and no footwork as he tries to drive, inside edge takes the ball onto middle stump. There's the breakthrough 2/113.2 direct hit from Roy! Running throw from point to break the stumps. Good length ball on middle stump that White taps to point, they want the single, but the pick up and throw is a sight for sore eyes.
