- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.3 that is a gifted run-out. And for what? A quick single? Holder cramps Stokes up as he looks to dab it, the ball has hardly gone off the pitch, but Uthappa wants one. Stokes sends him back, but he is slow to turn back, and Holder is alert, quick and accurate. What a waste on a night that he was looking so good 30/112.1 double strike. Rashid gets Stokes. A long struggle comes to an end. Legbreak, middle and leg, turns in, beats the inside edge as he drives, and deflects off the pads onto the wicket 86/311.4 Holder has his own back immediately. Slower offcutter, just short of a length, turns back and beats his attempt to dab it square. Top of leg. Look at how much this has turned 86/215.3 and Shankar adds the huge Buttler wicket to an already impressive night's work. Buttler looks to walk at him and across too to create his own pace. Shanks slips this wide, takes the thick outside edge, and is caught at backward point 110/418.1 Smith gets no power. He is expecting the yorker, so he goes deep into the crease to turn this full ball into a half-volley, but manages no timing in the slog. Caught at long-on 134/518.2 smart bowling, smart catch. Parag leaves the crease, Holder bowls the slower wide short ball, taking it out of Parag's reach, who still flat-bats it and skies it. Warner back-pedals from mid-off to gets under it, but because he is still on the move, the catch is not clean. He juggles it as he falls over, and is lucky the ball has not bounced too far from him and completes the catch 135/6Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL154/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.7)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Robin Uthappa, 3.3 ov), 2-86 (Sanju Samson, 11.4 ov), 3-86 (Ben Stokes, 12.1 ov), 4-110 (Jos Buttler, 15.3 ov), 5-134 (Steven Smith, 18.1 ov), 6-135 (Riyan Parag, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.4 and he has got him again. Never mind the format, the team, the colour of the ball, the colour of the jersey. Archer gets Warner all the time. And great captaincy to have that second slip in. This length ball seams away from him, takes a healthy edge, and Stokes dives to his left, full length, to take it. Archer to Warner in all formats this year: 7 innings, 45 balls, 32 runs, 6 dismissals 4/12.4 Can he ever? A 149kmph length ball seaming in to take the top of middle. As good as his ball to Shaw earlier in the season. Top-quality bowling. Some ego from Bairstow too? Three balls to go this over, could he have played them with a low back lift? This one allows him a gate to burst through. And burst through Archer does 16/2Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL156/2 (18.1 Overs, RR: 8.58)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (David Warner, 0.4 ov), 2-16 (Jonny Bairstow, 2.4 ov)
