- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.4 gives him the charge, and Roy loses his middle stump! A touch under 90mph, skidding through on this unsympathetic surface as the bat hacks across the line towards cow corner. A decent hand from Roy but clear frustration brewing 49/23.1 full, straight, plumb! Up goes the finger, Jacks is reviewing but not convinced this is missing much. Playing across the line, close to the inside-edge but straight into the pad-flap. Yep, hitting a sizeable portion of the leg stump. No complaints there 24/18.4 nailed this time!Skids on, Muyeye didn't pick the leggie at all, tossed up, dipping, straightening, thumping the shin with feet stuck in the crease. Plumb again 57/311.3 skids through again! Klaasen is caught flat-footed by another fast straight delivery that flattens his off pole. Feet stuck on the crease and a huge breakthrough, nailing the in-form batter 75/414.1 stunning return catch! Just incredible from Mills, a change of pace lures Curran into a flash back through the line, Mills stuck out a speculative right hand, wasn't even looking at the ball, and somehow clung on, reaching back and across while flinching! Curran was utterly gobsmacked by that one 84/611.5 another stump-splatterer! Jordan's on a roll now! 88mph, full, fast, angled in, skidding low off the deck. Huge set! Billings was aiming across the line and looked like a thin edge into the wicket 75/515.3 firmly forward, pressed into the off side, and a calamitous run-out! Curran wanted two, as VInce slid after the ball, running back, and released quickly, super take from the bowler, reaching behind him and letting the momentum break the stumps. This innings is in freefall now 90/7Extras12 (b 3, lb 8, w 1)TOTAL139/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.95 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Will Jacks, 3.1 ov), 2-49 (Jason Roy, 7.4 ov), 3-57 (Tawanda Muyeye, 8.4 ov), 4-75 (Heinrich Klaasen, 11.3 ov), 5-75 (Sam Billings, 11.5 ov), 6-84 (Sam Curran, 14.1 ov), 7-90 (Ross Whiteley, 15.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 climbs through the drive, h-u-u-u-u-g-e steepler! Allen got right underneath that one, misread the slower ball, Roy sprints in from long-on, SCurran is in his eyeline, he juggles the first attempt, gathers the second and Allen's brief acceleration is all too brief! 57/24.2 finds the edge with the slower ball! Conway was coming down the pitch, Curran saw him coming and drifted it out wider, a thin nick as he over-reaches on the drive. Big wicket! 29/112.5 hacked off the full length, straight to long-on! That's quite possibly curtains for Brave! Vince climbed through the line, his bat turned on impact, Roy on the rope was perfectly set, and this innings doesn't look like concluding at two runs a ball... 70/410.1 dobbed up from round the wicket, dips, grips, pings the middle stump! That'll do as a sighter! Du Plooy trudges off bemused as he plays all round that one 60/313.5 short, pace off, skied to Whiteley in the deep! Into the surface once again from Curran, no chance to line that up with conviction, high on the bat and a simple take, ten yards in from the rope 73/516.5 skied off a leading edge! Jordan climbs through the line again, appreciable turn on the legbreak, Sowter slides in on his knees from deep cover and makes a tough chance look classy! 95/617.3 Huge top-edge, and a brilliant take from Billings! Swirling into the evening sky, miscued pull, Billings turns well, leaps as the ball gets away from him a touch, and clings on with a leap and both gloves tight together 95/7Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL131/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.55 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Devon Conway, 4.2 ov), 2-57 (Finn Allen, 9.3 ov), 3-60 (Leus du Plooy, 10.1 ov), 4-70 (James Vince, 12.5 ov), 5-73 (Colin Ackermann, 13.5 ov), 6-95 (Chris Jordan, 16.5 ov), 7-95 (George Garton, 17.3 ov)
