- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 Gone! Johnson holds his nerve and serves up a peach on the top of off, just kicking on off the surface, and castles Root! 19/21.4 Gus in the game! Another low score for Hales. Muyeye just got out to deep point and an attempt at going over cover skews high to the Kent man, who jogs in to complete the dismissal 9/17.3 Taken! Sowter gets his 10th of the competition, flighting one outside off and enticing TKC into another big shot. Hitting against the spin means the ball skews high towards long off who takes a straightforward caatch 54/45.5 Gone! Shorter length, but flat enough to surprise Hain, who rocks back and tries to hit back over the bowler. Zampa takes a smart catch above his head 44/316.4 Great work by Zampa! Goes fuller but throws the ball slightly wider knowing Munro will try and work against the spin of a wrong-un to get it to the leg side. Toes high in the air, well-taken by Will Jacks circling under the ball from cover 124/517.4 TC gets LG! Very low full toss and Gregory tries to work around the corner but skews a leading edge high in the air. Billings keeps his cool, tracks the ball down to fine leg and takes a good catch 127/619.3 The correction works! This yorker is into leg stump and though Sams gets under it, he can only hit to Muyeye who takes a good catch jogging in from the square leg boundary 145/7Extras10 (lb 6, nb 4)TOTAL148/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.4 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Alex Hales, 1.4 ov), 2-19 (Joe Root, 2.4 ov), 3-44 (Sam Hain, 5.5 ov), 4-54 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 7.3 ov), 5-124 (Colin Munro, 16.4 ov), 6-127 (Lewis Gregory, 17.4 ov), 7-145 (Daniel Sams, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 Gorgeous shot... out! Swinging, full on the toes, Roy times this like a dream, flicking over to deep midwicket... and straight into the hands of Joe Root! 21/111.2 Rockets needed that! Pace off again and Jacks reaches for a length ball to get it across the line but only serves to scuff it onto his leg stump 94/43.1 Gone first ball! Sams goes short, Muyeye doesn't really commit to the flick around the corner and it's nonchalantly caught one-handed by Sodhi! The Kiwi had to jog back from his position on the 45 and sticks out a mitt to claim! 2 in 2... 21/23.2 THREE IN THREE! What a turnaround this is! Sams has gone right through Curran, nipping away off the surface and finding a gap through bat and pad as the left-hander looks to defend 21/312.5 Gone! Carter goes full, Neesham drops to one knee to slog sweep to the smaller boundary but the ball gets under the bat and strikes the Kiwi on the pad 101/5Extras3 (lb 3)TOTAL151/5 (18.2 Overs, RR: 8.2 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Jason Roy, 2.5 ov), 2-21 (Tawanda Muyeye, 3.1 ov), 3-21 (Sam Curran, 3.2 ov), 4-94 (Will Jacks, 11.2 ov), 5-101 (James Neesham, 12.5 ov)
