Right, then. We are done with this whirlwind of a game, with Warriors scoring their first points and what a way do to it. No shortage of cricket today, as we head over to the second game of the day, where Abu Dhabi Knight Riders take on MI Emirates, where the commentary is up and running. Thanks for joining in. On behalf of Himanshu and Binoy George, this is Ashish Pant, signing off.

J Pearce: "In the last week alone I've seen extraordinary innings from Salt, Jacks (x2), Hales, and now Kohler Cadmore. What do the English feed their white ball batsmen?!!" The Englishmen sure have dominated the batting charts so far this tournament.

5.15pm Sharjah Warriors have gunned down a 178-run target in 14.4 overs. Let that sink in for a moment. That is some way to register your first win of the tournament after three straight losses. Tom Kohler-Cadmore slammed 106* off 47 balls with ten fours and six sixes, and the Capitals had no answer to his onslaught. Hitting of the highest order. Warriors started off like a train as they tonked 95 runs in the powerplay for the loss of one wicket. Even as Dawid Malan and Moeen Ali fell early, TKC did not relent. He got an able partner in Joe Denly, who scored 29 not out off 17 balls. In the end, Warriors romped home with 32 balls still remaining. Stunning chase.

Karunaratne to Kohler-Cadmore, SIX, That's that! Ends it with what will probably be the biggest six of the innings! In his arc on middle and leg, Tom Kohler-Cadmore keeps his shape, goes back in the crease and absolutely wallops it way over wide long-on. Warriors off the mark with a rollicking seven-wicket victory!

Karunaratne to Denly, 1 run, Banged in short, Denly mistimes his pull in the gap between long on and deep midwicket. The bowler isn't impressed. He thinks long on should have done better.

Shanaka to Kohler-Cadmore, 2 runs, Century off 46 balls from Tom Kohler-Cadmore!Absolutely stunning century for the opener. Fastest ton of the tournament. There is an appeal for a run out but the batter is in. Removes his helmet and celebrates. Was a slower length ball on off, he works it away towards deep midwicket and scampers back for two. Uthappa flicked the throw back onto the stumps, but TKC was well in

TKC on 98
