- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 That's high in the air and taken! Woakes banged it in on a length, Smeed swung hard at it but ended up skying it. Gurbaz settled under it and took it comfortably. That's the first breakthrough for Sharjah Warriors 23/114.3 Nabi finally has his revenge! Goes around the wicket, fires it in flat and on a length on middle, Waseem looked to slog it away again, but doesn't connect and it's a simple catch for Evin Lewis at deep midwicket. Brilliant innings comes to an end. The highest individual score in the ILT20 as well! 149/37.5 Edged and taken! Woakes bangs it in on a length, Fletcher tries to guide it behind point but only manages a thick edge and Gurbaz makes no mistake. Woakes has his second wicket and it's the dangerous Andre Fletcher who departs 70/216.3 Holes out to deep midwicket just a run short of his half-century! That was banged in short outside off and Pooran fetched it with a pull, but that went flat and straight down Joe Denly's throat. He misses out on the milestone, but this was a very critical innings from the left-hander 163/416.4 And he is gone first ball! Bangs it in short again, Zadran looks to pull but gets a top edge and the ball goes high into the night sky. Rahmanullah Gurbaz makes no mistake and Siddique is on a hat-trick 163/5Extras17 (b 1, lb 7, w 9)TOTAL204/5 (20 Overs, RR: 10.2)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Will Smeed, 2.3 ov), 2-70 (Andre Fletcher, 7.5 ov), 3-149 (Muhammad Waseem, 14.3 ov), 4-163 (Nicholas Pooran, 16.3 ov), 5-163 (Najibullah Zadran, 16.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 Down the track, gets it on the low full toss. Gurbaz flicks, gets beaten, ball goes off the pad into the stumps. He yells in frustration, Bravo gets his wings out and swoops across the field in celebration. That was full pace, 127 kph. Ball hit the base of leg stump 64/41.3 Dragged on, Farooqi kicks the air in celebration. Was full around fifth, Lewis reached out and tried to drive it square, and got it back on the stumps. 4/11.4 Big LBW appeal, umpire waits and gives it. Malan looks to be in acceptance but Gurbaz chats and they take the review. Length ball snaked back in, a metre or so's gap between bat and ball, as Malan went for the cover drive. Hit on the knee roll in front of all three, hitting middle and leg. Justifies Malan's resignation, he was ready to walk. 4/27.5 Slower one into the pitch does Moeen for the lack of pace, ballooned to long-on. It was very wide, Moeen went across but still had to reach out to fetch it. Tried to heave it but was losing the power as the ball did not arrive. When it did, it took the top edge. 53/311.2 Middle of middle hit, Tahir charges behind. Goes to mid-off, roars with his arms up, kiss to the crowd, big typical celebration! Was a length ball at the stumps, Kohler-Cadmore charged and tried to heave it mightily over wide midwicket but the ball went under. 80/513.1 Tahir ends Denly's misery, holed out at long-off! Was in the slot, Denly went after it. Lofted the drive but couldn't get the distance. Comfy catch for Pollard. Tahir's off to his celebrations, has the Ronaldo jump. Seemed like only his roar was heard around the ground. 87/613.5 Nick off the cut, taken. Tahir is off again, beaming smile as he redoes the Ronaldo celebration. Was shortish and wide, but it spun away and bounced extra which induced the thin edge. Nabi's bad game ends. 90/719.6 Slog-swept, Waseem moves to the right at long-on, dives to the right and takes a stunner! Sent upstairs. Was tossed up outside off, first time Woakes has miscued in a while. Fingers firmly underneath the ball from Waseem. All over 155/915.5 Back of length ball induces a miscued pull to long-on. Siddique was hurried on the shot, easy catch 102/8Extras7 (b 4, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL155/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.75)Did not bat: KP MeiyappanFall of wickets: 1-4 (Evin Lewis, 1.3 ov), 2-4 (Dawid Malan, 1.4 ov), 3-53 (Moeen Ali, 7.5 ov), 4-64 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 9.3 ov), 5-80 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 11.2 ov), 6-87 (Joe Denly, 13.1 ov), 7-90 (Mohammad Nabi, 13.5 ov), 8-102 (Junaid Siddique, 15.5 ov), 9-155 (Chris Woakes, 19.6 ov)
