- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.4 gone this time, slapped back to the bowler to end a scratchy knock. Outside off, trying to put some welly through the ball but a simple knee-high chance 35/115.1 bowled him! Well, have MIE just got too clever by half! Pacy full length, off stump out of the ground as Wasim plays all around it, and suddenly there are two men at the crease without a ball between them 122/314.6 flapped out to the leg side. Five overs to come. And 180 suddenly feels very obtainable 122/219.2 Has a hack, a big snick, keeper gobbles the edge! Clarke has to dive to scoop up the offering. Good awareness, and the dangerman goes 178/4Extras11 (b 1, lb 2, w 8)TOTAL180/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Andre Fletcher, 6.4 ov), 2-122 (Lorcan Tucker, 14.6 ov), 3-122 (Muhammad Waseem, 15.1 ov), 4-178 (Kieron Pollard, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 skips down, looking to hammer Boult's cutter back over his head for six. But it's a massive skier, and Pollard runs around from mid-on to settle underneath a straightforward catch. Stirlo falls early 0/18.5 charges a looping slower ball, which dips sharply underneath the toe of his bat and crashes into off stump! Superb from Bravo, not great from Clarke 80/43.1 juicy full-bunger, King frees his arms.... and picks out deep midwicket! Oh dear... Tahir runs off in celebration, King hangs his head in horror 25/26.3 lobbed up, struck on the pad sweeping... given! Tahir runs off and celebrates with a CR7-style siiiiiiiu. Asalanka reviews. No real turn, struck right in front of middle stump. No bat, three reds, salmon trout. 53/312.5 full toss, Russell looks to swing him over midwicket... but picks out the man in the deep! Russell stares at the toe of his bat in frustration and trudges off despondent. Is that the game? 114/517.1 pitifully slow slower-ball bouncer... pulled flaccidly into the deep... and pouched at deep midwicket. A fittingly grim end to a grim innings! 150/814.3 banged in short, Narine top-edges the pull into the leg side... Tucker settles underneath it! Narine goes, and MI Emirates are closing in 130/615.3 chipped back! Slower ball, Akeal doesn't pick it, and toe-ends straight back to Bravo, who celebrates by running past him, and roaring 134/719.2 speared in, huge inside edge into the stumps, Mousley celebrates! MI Emirates are through to the play-offs, and ADKR retain their winless streak! 162/1018.5 slower ball, plinked meekly to mid-off 161/9Extras13 (lb 1, w 12)TOTAL162 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 8.37)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Paul Stirling, 0.2 ov), 2-25 (Brandon King, 3.1 ov), 3-53 (Charith Asalanka, 6.3 ov), 4-80 (Joe Clarke, 8.5 ov), 5-114 (Andre Russell, 12.5 ov), 6-130 (Sunil Narine, 14.3 ov), 7-134 (Akeal Hosein, 15.3 ov), 8-150 (Connor Esterhuizen, 17.1 ov), 9-161 (Matiullah Khan, 18.5 ov), 10-162 (Marchant de Lange, 19.2 ov)
