Shadow-Shell: "Wow! Hattrick of runouts, I don't think I've ever seen it"

3.43pm So a stop-start innings by the Giants comes to an end. They started with a bang courtesy Gurbaz, but then lost three quick wickets after the introduction of spin early to lose that momentum. Vince and Omarzai rebuilt, and rebuilt well with a stand of 66. But that platform was also wasted with another three-wicket burst - this time in a single Mustafizur over. A couple of late blows pushed the score along, however the innings fizzled to a close. We'll have the chase for you shortly.

W
Mustafizur Rahman to Adair, 1 run, OUT, Hat-trick of run outs! Length outside off, clubbed to deep midwicket. Early call for two, but the throw is bang on and Adair is found well short! Giants have been bowled out for 156

MR Adair run out 12 (30m 12b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100

Fred Klaasen is the last batter in

W
Mustafizur Rahman to Haider Razzaq, OUT, cutter angled across, swing and miss. They look to run the bye, the keeper under arms and misses but the Fizz collects and flicks it swiftly back towards the non-striker's stumps to find Razzaq well short

Haider Razzaq run out 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

Mustafizur Rahman to Aayan Afzal Khan, 1 run, OUT, back of a length cutter, thwacked over the the Fizz. They look for the second, but it's never on. The throw goes correctly to the keeper and the batter is well short

Aayan Afzal Khan run out 3 (5m 4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 75

Neesham to Adair, no run, looks to lift it into the onside, inside edge into the pads and the ball bobbles to point. But confusion all round as the batters seemingly both end up at the striker's end, but the throw never comes to the bowler's end as the bowler is not in position. The batter's end up safe in the end

Neesham to Adair, 2 runs, another on pace-off, swung away down to long-on. They run hard to come back for the second

Neesham to Mayers, OUT, Neesham gets the last laugh though! Fuller outside off now and Mayers tries the cover boundary this time. Ends up slicing it high though, to give the boundary rider a fairly regulation take

Neesham to Mayers, FOUR, Greeted with a boundary! Length ball outside off, and Mayers muscles this across the line to the deep midwicket boundary

Mustafizur Rahman to Adair, FOUR, makes the early movement towards the offside, but Fizz reads it well and bowls a sharp turning cutter into the ground. Faint edge - or so indicates the umpire - as the keeper makes a hash of it and lets it run through. Races away for four

Khobaib Safi : "Waqar Salamkhil is a genuine wicket taker in middle overs don't why he has not played for Afghanistan yet except one test match."

Mustafizur Rahman to Mayers, FOUR, misses the length and is punished! Slower one outside off, looking for the yorker but just not full enough. Crunched through extra cover
17.2

Mustafizur Rahman to Mayers, 2 runs, connects better with the pull this time, gets a couple down to deep backward square leg as the boundary rider does well to field it
17.1
0
Mustafizur Rahman to Mayers, no run, Big appeal from the Fizz, but again the umpire is unconvinced! They review once more. This was a length ball, pace-on, and nipped back under Mayers' attempted pull. It struck the flap of his back pad, but was it in line with the stumps? No, impact was outside off, and the Capitals are out of reviews.
