- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 A little nick and Mustafa's short stay ends early! It's been the story of Mustafa all tournament. Back of a length ball on middle stump. He charges down, looking to flay it away, get only a tiny edge and Uthappa dives low to his right and completes the catch. Ball is elated and Vipers lose a wicket in the first over. 9/12.2 Straight through and Hales has fallen for less than fifty for the first time this tournament! Gentle length ball aimed at the stumps. Hales charges down looking to whack it away. Loses his shape and sees his stumps in a mess. Raja is over the moon! 20/213.3 and there's Zampa's third wicket. Flat and shortish, angling across to off stump. Not a lot of turn back in. It was there to be pulled, but Munro - much like Hasaranga in Zampa's previous over - picks out a deep fielder with a solid hit, straight to the man at deep midwicket 104/59.4 Gets across looking for a sweep, misses and is rapped right in front of the stumps. Zampa appeals and the umpire concurs! Billings, though reviews right away. Was the wrong'un and Billings was a wrong way across. This looks might close and it just has to clip, remember. Billings not looking confident at all. The third umpire is sure taking his time. Right, here we go. No bat for sure. He is hit in line, and the tracker shows the ball would have clipped leg stump. Billings goes and a timely wicket here for Capitals.. 85/311.4 now he bowls a loopy leg-stump full-toss - it's there to be hit, and Hasaranga hits it pretty well with a flat slog-sweep, but he ends up picking out the fielder at deep midwicket, who only has to move a few yards to his right to catch the ball 97/419.1 another terrific catch, this time from the captain. Slower offcutter, angling away into a wide line outside off. Reaches out to try and slap it over the covers, and he connects fairly well but not well enough. Powell sprints to his left at long-off and completes the catch with a tumble 146/718.5 There's been some poor catching so far today, but now Dasun Shanaka pulls off a blinder at extra-cover. Full outside off, it's there for the drive, and Rutherford hits it well, but ever so slightly in the air and just within reach of Shanaka, who dives forward and takes it inches off the ground 144/619.6 and the innings ends with a run-out. Slants another ball into that wide-ish channel, back of a length. Cottrell looks to swing it into the leg side, and misses. The batters look to sneak a bye, but Uthappa denies them, hitting the stumps at his end with a calm underarm flick 149/919.5 gone, eight down. Slower length ball angling into the stumps. Long boundaries in Dubai, and he invites the left-hander to take on the man at deep midwicket. Goes after it, but can't clear Shanaka on the boundary 149/8Extras15 (b 4, lb 2, w 9)TOTAL149/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.45)Did not bat: M PathiranaFall of wickets: 1-9 (Rohan Mustafa, 0.5 ov), 2-20 (Alex Hales, 2.2 ov), 3-85 (Sam Billings, 9.4 ov), 4-97 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 11.4 ov), 5-104 (Colin Munro, 13.3 ov), 6-144 (Sherfane Rutherford, 18.5 ov), 7-146 (Tom Curran, 19.1 ov), 8-149 (Ali Naseer, 19.5 ov), 9-149 (Gus Atkinson, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 Leading edge balloons straight up and Curran completes a simple catch! Length ball that shapes away from the batter, who closes the face of the bat too early looking to play across the line. He gets a massive leading edge and mid-on runs back and snaps it up. 7/12.2 Oh, that's just a meek dismissal! Short of a good length outside off. There was a bit of shape away there and Zazai just pokes at it half-heartedly. A nothing short really and walks off. He does not even wait for the umpire. 7/29.6 Gets underneath, gets a lot of height, but does not get enough distance. Fuller on middle stump, he looks to whack it over, but does not get as good a connection. Hasaranga settles under it at deep midwicket and pouches it comfortably. 53/48.1 Has he taken it? Oh, yes, he has! Legspinner on leg stump. Shanaka prods down the track, looking to push it away. He gets a bit of a leading edge and Hasaranga dives forward in his follow-through to complete a good catch. Removes his national captain and is elated with it. 45/313.3 got him, Raza walks. Billings went up as soon as it went into his gloves. Quick, back of a length, not that far outside off. Looks to open his bat face and dab it fine, but there's a bit of extra bounce and he feathers it into the keeper's gloves 85/5Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL137/5 (20 Overs, RR: 6.85)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Robin Uthappa, 1.6 ov), 2-7 (Hazratullah Zazai, 2.2 ov), 3-45 (Dasun Shanaka, 8.1 ov), 4-53 (Chirag Suri, 9.6 ov), 5-85 (Sikandar Raza, 13.3 ov)
