- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 What a start for the Lightning! Adair slams the ball in the air towards extra cover, the fielder dives down low to his left to take the catch 0/12.3 Edged through to the keeper! Stirling looks to drive the ball down the ground, and gets a think edge through the Tucker. The Lightning are delighted to have that wicket. Both openers are gone now 15/24.5 What a catch from Wilson! McCollum swings hard at the ball and it rockets off the edge down to deep third. Wilson moves to his left quickly and dives full length to take the catch inches off the ground. Amazing fielding 32/313.4 Rock hits the ball back over the bowlers head. Doesn't get as much power into this shot, McCarthy takes a couple of steps back at mid-off to complete the catch 116/414.4 Egan looks to hit the ball over cow corner. Hand is out on the boundary and he takes a couple of steps in off the rope to take the catch 123/516.2 Adair looks to keep the big hitting going, pulls this ball from Dockrell towards the legside boundary. Didn't hit the ball as cleanly and Hand moved to his right to take the catch 147/618.2 stumps go flying! Pretorius had moved across the stumps, looks to scoop the ball down to fine leg. Moved across too much and the straight ball from the bowler hits the stumps 163/719.2 looks to hit the ball over cow corner this time. The ball is in the air for an age as Tector settles under the ball. Bobbles the ball as he catches it, and grabs it at the second attempt 180/820 thick edges the ball down to deep third. He charges the first run and comes back for the second. The throw comes into the keeper and Mayes is run out by a couple of yards. 191/8Extras9 (lb 2, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL191/9 (20 Overs, RR: 9.55)Did not bat: MJ HumphreysFall of wickets: 1-0 (Ross Adair, 0.1 ov), 2-15 (Paul Stirling, 2.3 ov), 3-32 (James McCollum, 4.5 ov), 4-116 (Neil Rock, 13.4 ov), 5-123 (Jake Egan, 14.4 ov), 6-147 (Mark Adair, 16.2 ov), 7-163 (Ruhan Pretorius, 18.2 ov), 8-180 (Tyron Koen, 19.2 ov), 9-191 (Thomas Mayes, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.4 Balbirnie steps out of the crease and looks to pull the ball towards deep mid-wicket. Didn't connect very well and the ball flies up high in the air. The fielder runs in from the boundary and takes the catch. 72/112.4 Tector looks to drive the ball and gets a thin edge through to the keeper. The Umpires finger goes up and Tim looks so disappointed as he drags himself away from the middle. 147/214.4 Tucker looks for the big shot to get to his fifty. Clips the ball towards the square leg boundary, and McCollum runs down to take a diving catch. 166/315 off-stump goes flying out of the ground! Harbinson plays the drive, and the ball swings back in and is bowled. Every fast bowler loves to see that! 170/416.4 Dockrell doesn't get to hit the winning runs today! Hits the ball down the throat of long-on, who takes the catch and then throws the ball back to the middle. Not much celebrating going on out there 185/5Extras7 (lb 2, w 5)TOTAL192/5 (17.1 Overs, RR: 11.18)Fall of wickets: 1-72 (Andy Balbirnie, 6.4 ov), 2-147 (Tim Tector, 12.4 ov), 3-166 (Lorcan Tucker, 14.4 ov), 4-170 (Samuel Harbinson, 14.6 ov), 5-185 (George Dockrell, 16.4 ov)
