- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 Wiese takes an absolute screamer at mid-on! Length ball, swinging in, Crawley crunches the on-drive in Wiese's general direction. He flings himself low to his left and claims the catch... did this spill out at any point? They're having a look. Given. Crawley trudges off after a run-a-ball 12 14/112.4 wide outside off, gets down to sweep but is done by the extra bounce. The top edge hangs in the air for an enternity, before Short settles underneath it! 102/36.2 bowled on the reverse! Off stump comes out of its groove as Rashid goes full and straight, pushing it through as Lawrence looks to access the shorter boundary 36/215.1 full, straight, triggered! Wade reviews, but I'm not sure what's going to save him. He was looking to swing over midwicket... no bat involved, and Wade is walking off by the time the decision pops up on the big screen 120/419.5 yorker, dug out to mid-off. They take on the second, as they might as well, but Mitchell is well short coming back 160/617.2 wide outside off again, hacked towards the short boundary... Zaib settles underneath it! Bopara looks disconsolate as he drags himself off 135/5Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL160/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Zak Crawley, 2.4 ov), 2-36 (Dan Lawrence, 6.2 ov), 3-102 (Adam Rossington, 12.4 ov), 4-120 (Matthew Wade, 15.1 ov), 5-135 (Ravi Bopara, 17.2 ov), 6-160 (Daryl Mitchell, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.5 back of a length, swung away on the pull... a fielder holds on this time! Thompson is out there at deep backward square and gets down on one knee to take the catch 45/16.1 hoicked straight to midwicket, where Ellis makes amends! Horrible ball, slow and short, but Short can't get enough power into his cross-batted short and swings it out to the man on the rope on the longer boundary 51/27.1 knocks him over! Banton looks completely bemused as to what's happened. He steps outside his leg stump looking to give himself room but this jags away sharply off the seam to beat his bat and crash into off stump 54/315.4 hung very wide outside off, slashed out to deep cover! Mitchell takes it on the rope, tosses it back up to himself and takes it at the second attempt. Did his left boot make contact with the advertising sponge briefly? The TV umpire is satisfied, and deems it a clean catch! Brook has to trudge off 118/57.5 knuckles once more, swept straight to short fine leg! Bopara is running through the Superchargers with his change-ups! Tight line, fullish, Zaib looks to access the short side but doesn't get any of it and miscues straight to Dawson 56/418.4 gets down on one knee to slog-sweep, and Ellis takes a blinder at short fine leg! Runs back, dives over his left shoulder and holds onto a speccie! He has well and truly made amends for his drop early on in the run chase 137/619.4 full slower ball, swung out to deep midwicket where Thompson takes a tumbling catch! Game, set, match. The stage was set for Wiese but he missed his cue, and exits stage right 146/7Extras5 (lb 3, w 2)TOTAL147/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-45 (Adam Lyth, 4.5 ov), 2-51 (Matthew Short, 6.1 ov), 3-54 (Tom Banton, 7.1 ov), 4-56 (Saif Zaib, 7.5 ov), 5-118 (Harry Brook, 15.4 ov), 6-137 (Adam Hose, 18.4 ov), 7-146 (David Wiese, 19.4 ov)
