- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 Squealing for an lbw, the umpire is not interested but there is massive confusion between the two batters as the ball deflects towards point and Brathwaite in his follow through collects the ball from Qais and runs him out, that's a needless wicket, poor bit of communication out there 13/21.1 What a snare! Pitched up and a hint of inward seam movement, just spoons it straight into the hands of Vince who pouches it safely. This is a massive breakthrough, man in form back in the hut! It was a tentative shot, he was caught in two mind and ended up checking his shot, excellent effort in the field as he lunged forward and got his fingers underneath it 8/14.3 Banged in short and he goes for the pull, Brathwaite at deep fine leg tracks the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hand, sticks his big hands out and gobbles it up, another one bites the dust, it was a touch and go call for no ball, got some part of the landing foot behind the popping crease and got away with it 25/314.4 That's a stunning grab from Wiese! Dances down the track and the bat turned in his hand, gets the splice of the bat and the ball lobbed up in the air, Wiese takes a one-handed blinder at mid-off, tumbles but the ball didn't burst out of his hands, excellent effort, that's what wins you games and Vipers find themselves in a spot of bother, but Hasaranga has been striking the ball really well so they would hope he stays for a few more overs and press on the accelerator 116/58.3 Grabs a one handed stunner! Let me catch my breath, this is an absolute ripper, he bangs it short and induces a false stroke, Jordan kept running in his follow-through and hangs on to it brilliantly. Wickets are tumbling and it's the big fish Munro! He was a little too early into the shot and got befuddled by the cunning change of pace, Jordan showing his dexterity in no uncertain terms. It's a tame end to a promising innings. 44/415.1 Tossed up, right up to the toes, tantalizingly in the air and he miscues a skier! Qais Ahmed has the last laugh. This is a crucial breakthrough and once again Wiese produced magic on the big night, safe as a house in the field as he swallows this at wide long-off 116/618.2 Sounds the death rattle! Excellent seam position, bangs it on length and it jags back viciosuly and the zingers are lit up! Top delivery 134/817.4 Nicely tossed up, the ball drifts away gently across Wood, wrong'un, he was looking to go over midwicket but found Lynn inside the ring who takes a regulation catch 130/7Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL146/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.3)Did not bat: SS CottrellFall of wickets: 1-8 (Alex Hales, 1.1 ov), 2-13 (Rohan Mustafa, 1.5 ov), 3-25 (Adam Lyth, 4.3 ov), 4-44 (Colin Munro, 8.3 ov), 5-116 (Sam Billings, 14.4 ov), 6-116 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 15.1 ov), 7-130 (Luke Wood, 17.4 ov), 8-134 (Tom Curran, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 That's a tremendous riposte! The extra bounce from Wood does the trick, effort ball, got this to bounce off a length, just around off and it was nibbling away, Vince with a feeble push from the creaase ends up nicking it through to the keeper. Incredible delivery that triggered the false shot 25/14.1 Knocked him over! He is castled, the man in form rearranges the stumps with this brute of a delivery, he is right on money, pitched on a length and nipped back sharply, through the gate and Giants lose their second wicket. 26/214.3 Manufactures pace for himself and pumps it over the bowler's head, he didn't middle it and Tom Curran gobbled it up gleefully at long-on, spelndid work in the deep and Hasaranga gets his first wicket. Erasmus departs for 30, this was a much-needed wicket for Vipers. A sigh of relief for them, he found the elevation but didn't get the distance though. 99/3Extras7 (lb 3, w 4)TOTAL149/3 (18.4 Overs, RR: 7.98)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (James Vince, 3.5 ov), 2-26 (Colin de Grandhomme, 4.1 ov), 3-99 (Gerhard Erasmus, 14.3 ov)
