- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.1 Outside edge and Vipers get back-to-back wickets! This is a terrific start for Vipers. Angles this away from Waseem baiting him into a drive. He goes for it but the ball continues to move away and Waseem can only get a thin tickle to the keeper. Cottrell brings out his trademark salute. 10/21.6 Aravind is late on the in-dipper and sees his stumps in a mess! Bit of a nothing short from him. Atkinson gets one to shape into Aravind sharp and with pace. The batter is way too late to get his bat down, and by the time he does the bails had already started flashing. 10/18.2 On a length outside off, he taps to backward point. Oh, there's a direct hit and Fletcher looks to be struggling! Oh, dear he is! That is some sensational work from Hasaranga. He sprints to his right, picks the ball one-handed and hurls down the stumps directly. Was always going to be a tight run, and Hasaranga's speed did Fletcher in. 53/319.5 What a delivery to bowl in the circumstances!. Pooran knew that Curran was looking for a yorker. He was ready. He took the frontfoot out of the way and was looking to go leg side. Curran saw all of this and slips in a yorker that misses the bat and finds it way to the stumps in between the gap between the legs of Pooran. Pooran fell over after the ball passed him and for some strange reason, has a conversation with his captain. Pollard answers animatedly, but the end result is that Pooran has to go 169/419.6 slower ball wide outside the off stump. He looks to slog it away and ends up lofting the ball to Alex Hales at long-on. Quite an eventful over and Curran ends it with two wickets 169/5Extras16 (lb 6, w 10)TOTAL169/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Vriitya Aravind, 1.6 ov), 2-10 (Muhammad Waseem, 2.1 ov), 3-53 (Andre Fletcher, 8.2 ov), 4-169 (Nicholas Pooran, 19.5 ov), 5-169 (Najibullah Zadran, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.3 Boult strikes with his third ball and Mustafa departs! Tame dismissal, honestly. On a length on middle and leg, he backs away again looking to hack it over covers. Gets a top edge and Pooran running back from point pouches it comfortably. 2/17.2 Oh, my word, Pollard! What a sensational catch that is! We've seen this so many times in the IPL, in the international arena. But how does he do it time and time again. Low full toss on middle. Munro climbs into it and although does not get all of it would have hoped to clear long on. But, Pollard, who is a bit inside the ropes, leaps up one-handed, baseball style and takes a stunner. 74/27.5 Balloons straight up and Billings departs second ball! Tossed up outside off, Billings jumps down looking to hack it away. He is nowhere near the pitch of it. Gets a top-edge with the ball going straight up and extra cover takes a simple catch. 76/3Extras9 (lb 2, w 7)TOTAL170/3 (16.3 Overs, RR: 10.3)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Rohan Mustafa, 0.3 ov), 2-74 (Colin Munro, 7.2 ov), 3-76 (Sam Billings, 7.5 ov)
