- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.2 Andrew Gale's ungainly innings is over, ends with another attempted slog, wanted to dispatch that to deep midwicket, instead edges it and the ball soars straight up, the keeper has loads of time to get under it and safely pouch it, Lions get their first wicket 54/110.5 pitched slightly up, Jaques misses a slog sweep and is bowled. It was slow but it wasn't certainly a delivery that one would be happy to get out to. Then again its in the middle of a Twenty20 innings so the batsman always has this shot ready to a part-timer 67/39.5 full ball, sweeps right into the lap of Sohail Tanveer at deep fine-leg. He was looking to hit every ball in this short innings and perished while trying a shot he tried a few times this over. Phangiso's successful tournament continues. 60/216.6 he's gone next ball, looks to launch a short ball over deep midwicket, this time he doesn't have enough on it and the fielder in the deep has a simple catch 111/515.3 caught at short-third man, the slog doesn't work, they really needed Ballance to be there longer, he's one guy who can hit them big 100/417.6 Tanvir strikes, Rashid is gone, adjudged lbw, that was a full ball that Rashid looked to sweep, he misses and was struck on the back leg, no doubt that was going on to hit the stumps 118/619.6 overpitched and looking to follow the batsman, who swings at it and sends it high into the air, that ends as an easy catch for Phangiso around extra cover, Yorkshire end on 131, doesn't look like that is enough, especially with a weakened Yorkshire bowling 131/7Extras14 (lb 4, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL131/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.55)Fall of wickets: 1-54 (Andrew Gale, 8.2 ov), 2-60 (Joe Root, 9.5 ov), 3-67 (Phil Jaques, 10.5 ov), 4-100 (Gary Ballance, 15.3 ov), 5-111 (Adam Lyth, 16.6 ov), 6-118 (Adil Rashid, 17.6 ov), 7-131 (Azeem Rafiq, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 caught behind, length ball and swings away. Petersen wanted to smash it through the covers and was no where near the pitch of the ball. The ball moved away and caught the edge through to the keeper. 27/14.6 full, swinging and slightly slower, the batsman waited on the crease and was hit on the pads. That is as plumb as you get. 31/212.6 on the leg side, slower ball, 112 kph, and de Kock tries the same shot he tried earlier, gets some bat this time, but it is the leading edge, goes high up in the air behind him where the keeper takes an easy catch. That was a big wicket for Yorkshire. 89/49.6 stayed on the back foot, McKenzie wanted to turn it on the leg side, completely misses it and is hit in front of the middle. Aleem Dar has no problem with that. 69/316.2 twist in the game? Pretorius is gone, slicing the ball towards sweeper cover for an easy catch in the deep, good cameo there from the man playing his first game this tournament 107/5Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL134/5 (19.2 Overs, RR: 6.93)Fall of wickets: 1-27 (Alviro Petersen, 3.4 ov), 2-31 (Gulam Bodi, 4.6 ov), 3-69 (Neil McKenzie, 9.6 ov), 4-89 (Quinton de Kock, 12.6 ov), 5-107 (Dwaine Pretorius, 16.2 ov)
