It's an under-par score but both teams haven't batted yet and Giants could be struck by a Boult. Will that happen? Find out with Abhimanyu who'll come in to call the chase.

Chris Jordan lifts the white belt, says it's a great feeling to contribute. Says they didn't start well, but re-assessed conditions and took wickets. Few balls swung but they couldn't control it, he says, adding that they pitched up before going yorkers and into the pitch towards the end. Says playing with tight techniques, not following the ball, and punishing the bad one is what the batters need to do to chase down the scores.

7:46pm: A blow hot, blow cold innings. Just three scores of over ten, Drakes and Wiese started brilliantly. Rehan took the big innings and Jordan completed the innings. Waseem tagged along with Pooran after the first two wickets for Emirates, once Pooran got going, he took on Rehan. Was winning the battle before holing out. Pollard did it without having to get set. That led to a collapse where the last six wickets fell under 20 runs, Jordan was immaculate with his control of lengths and pace. No tail wagging was allowed. It keeps Giants well on course to secure a spot in the knockouts.
