8.06pm: What a fightback from MI Emirates. Capitals were 88 for 0 in the ninth but proceeded to lose 9 for 56 and finish with what looks an under-par score. Max Holden gave them a flying start with 51 from 33 but only four other batters managed double-figures. MIE will surely look to pace things a bit better in their attempt to chase 148

Here's Holden on his knock: "Same process as before, sometimes it's your day in T20. Keep working hard and follow what the coaches say. Spinners were a challenge on that surface. Hopefully that's something we can do with the ball, too. We're well in the game, we back ourselves to defend a score. We've got a good bowling attack, aiming to put pressure on their middle order."

Thompson to Akif Raja, OUT, swing and a miss, now Kuggeleijn is run out! They tried to steal a bye to the keeper but Benjamin dead-eyes it with the underarm. Kuggeleijn is yards short and Capitals really could get bowled out here

SC Kuggeleijn run out 10 (17m 14b 0x4 0x6) SR: 71.42

Akif Raza is in

Thompson to Stone, OUT, chipped down the ground - taken! A fine running effort from long-on, Waseem the fielder diving forward and coming up with the ball. Capitals in danger of getting bowled out here

Thompson to Kuggeleijn, no run, slower ball, makes room and thick-edges into his pads

This innings has really fallen away for Capitals. Kuggeleijn is their best hope of clubbing a couple of boundaries in the final over. Thompson to bowl

Boult to Shanaka, OUT, hoicked high into the off side, taken on the rope! Shanaka experiences a failure to launch, looking for the big hit at the death. Made room and got under it but picks out the sweeper at deep cover. First of the night for Boult

MD Shanaka c Fletcher b Boult 11 (14m 13b 2x4 0x6) SR: 84.61

Boult to Shanaka, no run, round the wicket, beats the bat as Shanaka swings in the channel

Boult to Kuggeleijn, 1 run, low full toss, jabbed into the covers

Boult returns, he will only bowl three overs tonight. And MIE have made their super sub, I think: Kusal Perera replaces Waqar Salamkheil in the XI for the last couple of overs
