- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Lynn takes a sprawling catch around deep backward square! This was launched high into the night sky and Gurbaz got the elevation but not the distance, shot was on but he just got a fraction late and it lobbed up in the air, Lynn covered a lot of ground and pouched it safely in the end. No real timing behind the shot 12/15.1 Gottim! Strangled down the leg side and he gloved it through to the keeper. That's a massive scalp for Giants as they get the big fish. Cadmore saw the wayward delivery down leg and went hard at it 44/26.2 Another one bites the dust! Hetmyer holds onto a brilliant catch at deep backward square, charging to his left, locked his eyes on the ball and into his hands. Another massive wicket as he mistimes the flick. it was pitched shorter and just outside off 50/310.5 Done in the flight! Rehan wins the battle, slowing his pace down and getting him to mistime a skier on this googly, it went miles up in the air and into the safe hands of Hetmyer at deep square. 87/419.1 Hammered in and veering off side, straight up in the air as he tries to hoist it over long-off, mistimes the skier as Wiese tracks the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hand 145/616.1 Appeal for a caught behind, pitched up wide of off, flings the bat out, there might have been a deflection, sent upstairs, he was trying to squeeze it away to third man, Banton took a regulation catch and Jordan was convinced he nicked it and the ultra-edge confirms it as well, Nabi starts to take the long walk to the dressing room 127/519.5 Dug in short, pace off the ball and Jordan swallows it up in his follow-through, this is turning out to be a menacing spell. The ball got big on him and he was in a tangle, not in a position for the pull. 150/7Extras1 (b 1)TOTAL151/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.55)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 2.2 ov), 2-44 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 5.1 ov), 3-50 (Dawid Malan, 6.2 ov), 4-87 (Moeen Ali, 10.5 ov), 5-127 (Mohammad Nabi, 16.1 ov), 6-145 (Joe Denly, 19.1 ov), 7-150 (Chris Woakes, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 Bagged at backward point by Denly! Ideal start for the Warriors, you could just sense wicket was around the corner, pressure was building and he capitulates with this nothing shot in the end, just left the hanging willow and spooned it to the fielder inside the ring 0/11.3 Edged and taken! wafting and edging this rising delivery way outside off and Cadmore gobbles it up, takes a stunning catch and he was wrong-footed but held onto it nicely. Crucial breakthrough for Warriors 7/212.1 Around the wicket on a length, turning in from outside off, he takes the aerial route, doesn't clear the fence, finds Woakes at long-on who calmly reverse cups it and made sure he doesn't steps outside the boundary marker. Massive wicket as Giants stare into the abyss 71/73.5 Chips it takes it! Effort delivery rises steeply off the deck and he holes out to mid-off, Nabi sticks his hands out and pouches it safely. Came off the toe-end and you could see he was trying to play that jailbreak shot. Massive wicket! 21/34.5 What an incredible delivery! Hid one away from his swinging arc and scratched his outside edge, Cadmore swallows it up at first slip, Woakes is showing his dexterity here and getting wickets at will 22/45.3 Good length, jagged back and rapped on the pads, shrieking for a lbw and Moeen Ali decides to take the review. Ultraedge shows deflection off the bat and it's adjudged caught behind, Hetmyer cannot believe this and is totally perplexed. This is a massive wicket, man in form back in the hut 26/57.1 Snaffled at gully! It's going from bad to worse for Giants, they find themselves in a rut. It was pitched on a shorter length, got a bit of lateral movement, Dawson was stuck in his crease trying to get on top of the bounce, ended up straight down Cadmore's throat 30/616.2 Gets the big fish! Just a bit short on an attacking off stump line, he tried to get on top of the bounce but couldn't clear long-off who takes an easy catch with hands in front of his face. Wiese was the last glimmer of hope for Giants 98/819.3 Flexes his muscles and launches it again, tried to whack it out of the park, but didn't get all of it and found the fielder at wide long-on, Nabi hangs on to a good catch 130/919.4 Disturbs the furniture! Naveen takes a fifer and he is on the money, slow ball aiming for the top of off and wrecking the stumps to seal an emphatic win over Giants 130/10Extras20 (b 1, lb 2, w 17)TOTAL130 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 6.61)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Rehan Ahmed, 0.4 ov), 2-7 (James Vince, 1.3 ov), 3-21 (Tom Banton, 3.5 ov), 4-22 (Aayan Afzal Khan, 4.5 ov), 5-26 (Shimron Hetmyer, 5.3 ov), 6-30 (Liam Dawson, 7.1 ov), 7-71 (Chris Lynn, 12.1 ov), 8-98 (David Wiese, 16.2 ov), 9-130 (Chris Jordan, 19.3 ov), 10-130 (Richard Gleeson, 19.4 ov)
