- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 Vital breakthrough! Holes out to long-on, Pollard didn't have to move a muscle to gobble that up, into his safe big bucket hands! Made room to slug it downtown but didn't get the requisite power behind that shot, got the height though, a terrific innings nevertheless, has given Rockets a blazing start and stuck to his guns, not changing his game 46/16.2 Manages to connect but finds fielder at deep square to perfection, fired quicker on middle, he got down on one knee and bonked it straight to Evans who swallowed it down his throat, made it look ridiculously easy; Brave with a brilliant reply, pegging Rockets back with quick wickets 46/210.2 Gone! Trying to smash him into the stands and gets flummoxed by the quicker delivery, stumps-to-stumps line, ball deviates in a touch and he was not near the line, skedaddled down the track and threw the kitchen sink along with with all the utensils, easy stumping for the keeper, has to go! This is top bowling 72/312.2 Keeper takes a screamer with gloves on! Leg-cutter swirling away outside off, tries to biff a cut and ends up getting a thick outside edge, Davies goes airborne to his right and instinctively flicks his right hand out and surprisingly the ball sticks in, unbelievable fielding 81/416.2 Dug in again at middle, slower one, hangs back, and tries to clonk it over deep midwicket but founds Evans to perfection who takes a sprawling running catch, diving forwards and pouching it cleanly, Powell screams in frustration and looks crestfallen, taking the long walk back to the pavilion, got a start and this was his time to accelerate and do damage but ends up perishing at a crucial juncture; Jordan is cagey as usual 106/517.3 Chipped in the air and it's the simplest of the catches for Vince at mid-off; Archer with a wide slower one slanting away from off, troubled by the slowness, hung in the air for a long while 115/619.2 On a length with some room on the off-side, swings for the fences and gets the top-edge and it went high in the air, Jordan says it's mine and pockets it right under his eyes, disconsolate after perishing without making a big impact, it's tough out there 122/719.4 Wrecks the stumps, you miss, I hit! Cutter on a hard length, tries to muscle it across the line and gets beaten, leg-stump bail flying everywhere, too good for thee 122/8Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL126/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.3 per 6 ball)Did not bat: JA TurnerFall of wickets: 1-46 (Tom Banton, 5.4 ov), 2-46 (Adam Lyth, 6.2 ov), 3-72 (Alex Hales, 10.2 ov), 4-81 (Joe Root, 12.2 ov), 5-106 (Rovman Powell, 16.2 ov), 6-115 (Lewis Gregory, 17.3 ov), 7-122 (Rashid Khan, 19.2 ov), 8-122 (Luke Wood, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 Edged and taken! Shortish and just shaping it away from Davies, he tries to jab it away and the ball scratches the outside edge, straightforward catch for Banton and Rockets draw first blood - they need wickets in succession to stay alive in this contest 43/112.4 Imad Wasim nearly shelled it at deep third; brilliant late adjustment in the last second; jogged in from the deep and put in the dive and it got stuck in his right hand; riskily taken but taken and that's what matters. Vince tries to biff him over midwicket and got perturbed by the pace, ball took the fat top edge and skied up. It almost felt like he was looking to get out; tried the shot on previous occasion and again now; didn't come off the way he intended. It's been an intriguing spell from Turner, one delivery to go 68/57.3 Oh, that's a brute of googly, roared back through the gate, he left a big gap and the ball sneaked through and rattles the stumps, excellent delivery; he was back trying to punch it into the covers, didn't pick it at all; good a good one. Rashid doing Rashid things 48/28.4 Strangled down the leg side and that's a faintest of the nick, Banton swooping to his right full-stretch and has taken another blinder; sharp reflexes and gobbled with shades on! Terrific snare, du Plooy found it tough to deal with his searing pace, moved away to get inside the line and got an inside edge as confirmed by the ultra-edge as well 55/39.5 Chopped on! Wheels away in jubilation! Screams come-on, what a sight for the bowler! A 92 mph thunderbolt that jagged back on an unimpeachable line and made him hop; beaten by the pace, ends up dragging it back onto his stumps; what a delivery; exhilarating stuff 63/418.1 Fraction short at middle, punched with soft hands to cover and he was trying to scamper a single, he is not even in the picture, fielder hits the bull's eye and Rockets aren't yet out of the contest! He hit five monster sixes in his 45-run rampage, take a bow! 118/715.5 Bowled him! That's a stunning yorker from round the wicket, Hosein shimmies across to work it behind square, went too far across his stumps and Cook does the needful, getting it right in the blockhole and smashing into middle stump. A pitch-perfect yorker 78/619.2 Short and the ball sticks in the surface, punched on the rise to cover and non-striker (Archer) kept sprinting, Jordan was not interested at all; massive mix-up, superb fielding, kept his composure and just threw it to Gregory who whips off the bails; pendulum swing again' excellent fielding, dived to his left and got rid of the ball quickly 123/8Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL127/8 (19.4 Overs, RR: 6.41 per 6 ball)Did not bat: TS MillsFall of wickets: 1-43 (Alex Davies, 5.5 ov), 2-48 (Andre Fletcher, 7.3 ov), 3-55 (Leus du Plooy, 8.4 ov), 4-63 (Laurie Evans, 9.5 ov), 5-68 (James Vince, 12.4 ov), 6-78 (Akeal Hosein, 15.5 ov), 7-118 (Kieron Pollard, 18.1 ov), 8-123 (Jofra Archer, 19.2 ov)
