- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.4 dug in... and Salt holes out! Another pace-off short ball and Salt can't get the power required as he aims a baseball hit down the ground. Goes high but nowhere near far enough, and long-on settles under a straightforward catch 85/24.1 fun over, McKinney holes out! A fast and furious Hundred debut for the Durham man, but it comes to an end via a Jamie Overton bouncer that he doesn't quite connect with. Sails high towards deep square leg, where Jafer Chohan settled under the catch. Given Originals a great start, though 47/118.3 short, wide... slapped to mid-off! Slower delivery once again and Buttler can't get the power he is after. Still hit firmly enough to sting the fingers as Overton takes the catch running to his right. Big wicket for Spirit, could be the difference at the death 151/516.2 miscued and picks out mid-off! Klaasen has struggled for timing all innings and ends up plinking a catch to the edge of the ring. Back of a length, he was looking to club it over the off side, feet off the ground but no great connection and it's a simple take for Williamson 134/317.1 googly, Chapman slaps to cover! Diving take from Williamson and Spirit dislodge another. Wicket on Hundred debut for Chohan, nice moment for him. Originals continuing to lose their way after a dominant first half 136/419.2 short ball, plinked to deep square leg! Good from Overton, making Gregory hit to the longer, square boundaries. Gets the bouncer up high and a top edge goes straight to the fielder jogging in off the fence 154/6Extras14 (lb 5, w 9)TOTAL163/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.15 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-47 (Ben McKinney, 4.1 ov), 2-85 (Phil Salt, 8.4 ov), 3-134 (Heinrich Klaasen, 16.2 ov), 4-136 (Mark Chapman, 17.1 ov), 5-151 (Jos Buttler, 18.3 ov), 6-154 (Lewis Gregory, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.1 Fired down the leg side... and gone! Warner has nicked that attempting another lift over backward square! Looked an optimistic appeal but Warner tucks his bat under his arm - bit of glove - and walks off. 126/311.1 Williamson is put out of his misery! Into the surface, Williamson goes across his stumps and pulls - bottom hand off the bat - into the hands of his fellow countryman Mark Chapman out at deep backward square 75/114.3 Currie strikes back! Brilliant, pace on delivery, Smith done on the full, straighter ball, clearing his front leg but leaving the back one exposed. Would have hit low down middle. Goneski 101/218.1 And there it is! Short, sharp, Turner tries to hack that to leg but skies it to Gregory who snaffles the catch at mid on 134/517.4 Tongue bumps Dickson! Searing pace, 89mph, no variations needed, Dickson can't react quick enough, gloving to Buttler. Brilliantly targeted and executed from Tongue 130/419.3 Full, straight, whipped around the corner but straight to deep square - Mark Chapman - who gathers and hurls to the keepers end, where Buttler takes in front of the stumps - 2019 anyone? - and takes the bails off as Overton legs it back... and continues on towards the dugout 150/6Extras14 (lb 5, w 9)TOTAL153/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-75 (Kane Williamson, 11.1 ov), 2-101 (Jamie Smith, 14.3 ov), 3-126 (David Warner, 17.1 ov), 4-130 (Sean Dickson, 17.4 ov), 5-134 (Ashton Turner, 18.1 ov), 6-150 (Jamie Overton, 19.3 ov)
