- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 holes out! It was a chancy innings from Mustafa and his fun comes to an end. Length ball, heading for the top of off stump, and Mustafa looks to haul it across the line and into the stands... but he picks out Chamika on the square leg boundary 45/30.6 nicked off! Back of a length, cross-seamer angling across him. Hales fences at it. Thick edge to slip, where Yusuf fumbles it, but Uthappa grabs it off him after the parry. Big wicket. 5/12.3 chipped back to him! Munro runs outside leg stump looking to access the short off side, but Yusuf follows him and cramps him for room. Little leading edge back to the bowler, and Vipers have lost two early ones 18/218.3 slower ball, wide full toss outside off stump. Billings looks to swing over the leg side, but plinks it straight to Rovman at wide long-on 158/610.3 leggie gets leggie! Tossed up, Hasaranga gets down looking to slog-sweep. Top edge skews miles up into the air... and Uthappa settles underneath it. 76/417.4 chaos! Slower ball, Billings shuffles across looking to scoop. He doesn't make much contact, and it goes straight to Uthappa on the half-volley. Rutherford puts his head down, looking to get through for the single, but completely skewers himself and is out by miles as Uthappa under-arms into the stumps 156/519.6 wide cutter outside off, mistimed straight down the ground... and Karunaratne pouches it. 182/7Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL182/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Alex Hales, 0.6 ov), 2-18 (Colin Munro, 2.3 ov), 3-45 (Rohan Mustafa, 5.5 ov), 4-76 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 10.3 ov), 5-156 (Sherfane Rutherford, 17.4 ov), 6-158 (Sam Billings, 18.3 ov), 7-182 (Tom Curran, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.6 Amends made! Wood puts a little more into this bumper and Atkinson needed to run a little further, but the catch is taken easily and Uthappa has been seen off 42/21.2 GONE! Glorious from Cottrell, questionable from Munsey. The Scotland international walks at the bowler, which seems all well and good, until a hooping delivery arcs around his legs and takes out his leg stump! 11/112.4 GONE! Raza's neither here nor there innings comes to an end. Tries to go inside out over extra cover but is cut off by the brilliant Mustafa, who charges around and takes what in the end is a pretty straightforward catch 90/411.2 Brilliant from Rutherford! Atkinson rushes Shanaka who flails a top edge towards third man. The ball is so high it almost hits Spider Cam. Rutherford steadies himself after running in and dives to complete a fantastic catch 88/318.4 Outstanding - and game, you'd think. Wood puts a little extra on this and shapes it into the right-hander. Trims the top of middle stump 146/713.2 Inevitable end, really, especially after how badly he played that first delivery. Pathan gets another googly and immediately opts for a sweep and loses his leg stump 96/516.1 Another over started with a slower ball and this time Curran gets what he deserves. Chamika was already charging before he saw the delivery and reached for it while moving forward. This time it's a far simpler catch for Rutherford who doesn't have to move at point 118/6Extras13 (lb 1, w 12)TOTAL160/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (George Munsey, 1.2 ov), 2-42 (Robin Uthappa, 4.6 ov), 3-88 (Dasun Shanaka, 11.2 ov), 4-90 (Sikandar Raza, 12.4 ov), 5-96 (Yusuf Pathan, 13.2 ov), 6-118 (Chamika Karunaratne, 16.1 ov), 7-146 (Rovman Powell, 18.4 ov)
