3.43pm Joe Root the star of the show as he ends the innings 80 not out off 54 balls. He did not get going right away, but made sure to rotate the strike well and get the important boundaries when required. Warriors started well getting rid of Uthappa and Suri in quick succession. But Lawrence and Root dug in with an 82-run stand off 59 balls, before Powell belted 44 off 27 to get Capitals to 177 for 4. Woakes and Naveen picked two wickets apiece, while Noor Ahmad was economical. Can Warriors get their first points? Join Himanshu in a bit to find out.

Here's Joe Root: Nice to contribute today and I think we have got a reasonable score. After the start, especially. A couple of important partnerships, and we got it done. [On the surface] You have to hold your length here, and bowl the slower balls. It didn't feel like a belting wicket, but they have a few good batters.

Yoel: "I think Moeen missed a trick with his bowling selections. He had experienced part-timers such as Nabi, Denly and himself, but chose to to go with young and unproven death bowlers."

Woakes to Pathan, SIX, He goes short and Pathan ends the innings in style! He was prepared for that short ball, gets across and back, gets under it and slams the pulls over the deep fine leg fence. Strike-rate of 600 for Pathan.

Woakes to Powell, OUT, Another chance and Woakes this time says, I am running across and catching it! Pacy short ball, Powell tries his hand at the pull again, gets a top-edge with the ball going towards the square leg region. Woakes sprints across, completes a good catch, and takes a tumble soon after. Flashes a smile.

Woakes to Root, FOUR, Banged in short into the body of Root again. But he stands tall, backs away and swats it over mid-on's head for a four. Was the slower ball too, so he had to generate all the pace.

Woakes to Powell, FOUR, Woakes is just having the most rotten luck today. Gets the short ball in, cramps Powell for room. He still goes for a pull, gets a top-edge that flies over the keeper

Woakes to close the innings.

Muhammad Jawadullah to Powell, 2 runs, Drilled back at the bowler, very hard. Technically a drop, but those just stick. Full on off, Powell smokes it back, the bowler gets a hand to it and the ball still almost goes all the way to the long fence

John: "Powell clearly not on board with the Root century here." Team game, mate!

Robbo: "For my edification, why aren't ILT20 matches being recognised in players' career averages?" According to the ICC's regulations, competitions hosted by non-Full Members - UAE in this case - cannot be attributed T20 status

Woakes to Powell, 2 runs, Another chance, come on can someone take this? Oh, man, Nabi now drops it at deep midwicket. Woakes doesn't know how to react. Back of a length ball outside off. Powell looks for the pull, does not get enough connection, but the fielder shells it
17.4

Woakes to Powell, 2 runs, Goes high, very high and keeper and deep third just look at each other. The ball falls between them. Woakes is livid. Slower length ball outside off, he looks to heave it away, gets a big top-edge but the fielders just don't go for it
17.3

Woakes to Powell, no run, Slower back of a length ball, Powell almost swings himself off his feet going for the pull and misses

Woakes to Powell, SIX, Oh, gets the length wrong and Powell shows his power. Over-pitches outside off and Powell swings it way, way over long on. Mid-off was up, anyhow.
17.1

Woakes to Root, 1 run, Back of a length ball into the body of Root, was the slower off-cutter. He swivel-pulls it to deep backward square leg.

Surely, Capitals need to target 180 here. Woakes back on. Field set for short bowling.
