    9.3 Raza gets Waseem! Dangles the carrot outside off and Waseem bites. Tries to fetch it and go over long off but has to reach out too far. Shanks it off the toe-end and Holder does the rest standing at long off. Vital breakthrough! 103/3
    1.2 back of a length outside off. Shapes away and Smeed goes fishing at it. Gets a healthy outside edge that flies towards Billings, who takes a superb diving catch to his right. Billings was standing wide of first slip, and that is just the start the Capitals would have wanted! 7/1
    6.5 holes out to long on! Hard length outside off. Fletcher advances and tries to smash it over long on. For a change, though, he miscues his shot, with the ball coming right off the toe-end. Powell settles himself and completes a regulation catch! 79/2
    13.4 cleans him up with an absolute corker! Fired in on a length on off stump. Grips in the surface and straightens just a smidgen. Pooran plays for the ball coming in with the angle and watches in dismay as his off stump is uprooted. Massive, massive moment in the game! 120/5
    9.6 the softest of dismissals! Length outside off and this seems to just hold in the surface a shade. Rayudu is too early into the stroke and all he does is offer the simplest of return catches to Raza! MI Emirates in a spot of bother now! 105/4
    19.5 David departs! Full and speared into middle and off. David sits back in his crease, looking to hit the sightscreen. Slices across it a little too much, though, and Holder accepts the offering gleefully at long off! 158/9
    14.2 Anderson bites the dust! Full on middle and leg, and this seems to cramp Anderson for room. He tries to heave it over cow corner but the lack of room, plus how full the ball was, meant that he could not get the elevation he was after. Arrowed it to Billings at deep mid wicket, who made no mistake! 123/6
    15.1 Holder traps Bravo in front! Length on middle and off, and this seems to nip back sharply. Bravo is caught on the crease, perhaps expecting the short ball. Beaten for pace and by the movement and gets pinned, right in front. The umpire raises his finger and Bravo does not even bother with the review! 126/7
    18.3 straight up, and taken at long on! Fullish on leg stump. Hosein opens up his stance and aims for the moon. Clinks it off the bottom part of the bat and Billings does the rest. MI Emirates slide further! 140/8

    2.2 Boult rips out Warner! Back of a length in the channel. Shapes away late and squares Warner up completely. He dangles his bat and the ball flies off the outside edge towards short third, who snaffles it up. Just the wicket MI Emirates would have wanted early in the powerplay! 15/1
    12.2 Gurbaz falls for 81! Length delivery angled into the batter's pads. Gurbaz, having backed away, is cramped for room and cannot extend his arms fully. Cloths it a touch towards deep mid wicket, where Waseem runs to his left and completes a smart catch! 140/3
    10.4 straight to long off! In the slot outside off. JFM swings through the line and gets a decent piece of it too. The only problem, though, is that he cannot generate the elevation he is after. Anderson takes it reverse-cupped in front of his face. Take nothing away from this extraordinary knock, and it has put the Capitals on the cusp of victory! 129/2
