    16.4 wide, full, almost a yorker, and Nissanka has just carved that to cover, where Reeza Hendricks takes an excellent diving catch, flying to his right. This wasn't an especially extraordinary ball, and Nissanka is kicking himself to be out for 88. 162/3
    3.6 gone! The short one works for Fizz. Mendis had hit a six off the pull shot previous over, but he pulls straight to the deep square leg now. The fielder didn't have to move far, as Mendis timing is not good. Mustafizur celebrates with a fist bump. That's an important wicket. 30/1
    7.4 this was coming. Rossouw was not having a great time in the last couple of overs. This was shorter and fired in, wide of off. The batter goes back and tries to bang that over long on, and he mistimes it terribly. The long on fielder does nicely to race in and get his body behind that. 62/2
    19.1 finally some relief. This is a slower one I think, sticks in the pitch after pitching on a length. Avishka tries to bang it over long on. Gets a huge top edge to it instead, and long on runs in to take the catch 207/5
    17.4 that's Mustafizur's experience coming through. This is a slower ball, cutter, bowled into the surface wide of off. Asalanka tries to crash this over cover for six again, but doesn't get hold of it. Long off runs around to his right and takes the catch. 175/4

    17.3 reflex caught-and-bowled! This was full, tight into the stumps. Hendricks was trying to drive down the ground, and mis-hit it badly, but still reasonably hard. Came at belly height at Omarzai who stuck his hands out to his left and got it stuck in his hands. 172/6
    2.5 clubs it straight to mid on. Has that carried? That's a length ball just wide of off, that KJP bashes, but doesn't get the connection he wants. It seems to come off the top part of the bat, and it goes aerially to Rossouw at mid off. He takes it very low to the ground, and KJP hangs around as the umpire's go upstairs to figure if it is a clean catch. Rossouw claimed it immediatley, and he's right to. That seems to have entered the hands on the full and he's got fingers underneath it. 33/1
    4.4 nicks it this time, and he's gone! Kusal Mendis holds on on this occasion. This is a length ball angled across the leftie, who tries to flay it through cover, gets an outside edge, and is out. Looks back at his partner as if to ask if he should walk. He should. That was very clearly out. 49/2
    6.4 stumped off a wide? Looks like it. Nuwanidu left his ground early, and Shamsi fired another one down the legside. Mendis manages to take off the bails just before the batter can reclaim his ground. A big blow for Sixers - Nuwanidu was looking good. 74/3
    11.3 out this time though. This was fuller, very wide, tossed up, and Chapman tries to carve this over cover. Mis-hits it though, and the sweeper cover has plenty of time to get under it. 121/4
    14.2 stumped! Nabi doesn't make an impact. This is a googly from Shamsi, but Nabi doesn't get anywhere close to the pitch of this. He's down the track playing a cross batted shot, when he would have been so much better off trying to hit this down the ground 140/5

    19.1 full, wide again, and that was a very slow slower ball. Back of the hand. Hemantha reaches for it and tries to mow it through leg, but it catches the top edge and it's a simple catch for Kusal Mendis with the gloves 181/7
    19.2 that's out too. Dilshan Madushanka, the new batter, has got a full delivery outside off, and he's sent it down the throat of long off, who is standing quite a distance in from the boundary. 181/8
