- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.1 Chopped on!. Waseem is stunned and looks on, Jordan is charging and leaps on the high-five. He's pumped. Was a slower length ball outside off. Waseem tried to push it towards extra but was early on the shot and the bat was too far and wide at contact. Went back on to send both bails on a flight. 67/41.4 Jordan leaps at slip and takes a stunner! Full ball just inside the tramline at 128kph. Fletcher reached out and slashed a cover drive. Jordan leapt up and clasped it with one hand. Got it with the tip of his fingers, his cap fell off as he came down but was in full control of the ball. No heroics from Fletcher today. 6/14.6 Skier, three fielders around cover point. Aayan takes it! Tucker made room and charged, Jordan went length trying to follow him. The ball, off the miscued lofted-cover drive, went right up. Point and cover were coming in along with Aayan who called, got under and took it 31/29.2 Edged and taken by a Erasmus with his stretched left hand! Was on a length outside off at 121kph, Mousley stood still and tries steering it but gets too thin an edge. Erasmus, who Niall O'Brien says is back keeping after seven years, sticks out a mitt and leaps across. Clings on despite the tumble 64/317.3 Shortish ball is slow and angles away towards the off-side tramline, Pooran tries to drag it across with the pull. Fourth time's the charm because it's Jordan under the ball at long-on. Runs in and takes a dolly around the bread basket 138/5Extras16 (lb 8, w 8)TOTAL167/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.35)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Andre Fletcher, 1.4 ov), 2-31 (Lorcan Tucker, 4.6 ov), 3-64 (Dan Mousley, 9.2 ov), 4-67 (Muhammad Waseem, 10.1 ov), 5-138 (Nicholas Pooran, 17.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.6 full and drilled to cover! It was there for the drive but he sliced across the shot and presented Mousley with a straightforward catch inside the ring. MIE make a much-needed breakthrough with the final delivery of the powerplay 64/17.5 bowled 'im, done in by the googly! CDG is on his way after a brief tussle with Rashid. Don't think he picked that one, flat and skidding back at him from outside off, cramped him on the cut and pop go the bails. Rashid rips out a second for MIE 81/212.2 goes aerial on the pull... and Mousley grabs a blinder! Farooqi does get rid of Erasmus from his very next ball, but the fielder has to get most of the credit here. But hang on, they are going to check this to make sure the catch was clean. Soft signal was out, but this is going to be a tough one for the third umpire. Given! Mousley's confident reaction carries the day. Slowed-down replays suggest the ball may have touched the ground, but hard to be sure. Fingers were under the ball, and that's good enough for Alex Wharf 108/312.3 short ball, hooked to fine leg! Farooqi goes bang-bang! MI Emirates are delighted, they think they're back in this. Simple ploy but it's devastatingly well executed. Hetmyer swats at the bouncer and it sails out to the waiting Boult to take on the run at chest height. No doubts about this one carrying 108/415.5 belted leg side... but straight to deep backward square! Wiese's attempt to get this done ends up with a flaccid connection and a simple catch for Waseem stood in from the rope. MIE chip out another, but it feels like too little, too late 144/517.6 bowled 'im! Full outside leg again and it deflects off his back knee into the stumps as Brathwaite holds the pose on a golf swing to leg. Not quite over yet, though there isn't much celebrating in the MIE camp 164/6Extras11 (lb 4, w 7)TOTAL168/6 (18.1 Overs, RR: 9.24)Fall of wickets: 1-64 (Chris Lynn, 5.6 ov), 2-81 (Colin de Grandhomme, 7.5 ov), 3-108 (Gerhard Erasmus, 12.2 ov), 4-108 (Shimron Hetmyer, 12.3 ov), 5-144 (David Wiese, 15.5 ov), 6-164 (Carlos Brathwaite, 17.6 ov)
