- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.4 Gone! Straight to TKC. Length ball on middle and off, he looks to go over extra cover but doesn't get the elevation and ends up holding to Sharjah skipper. Big wicket for Sams 25/17.6 Warner's knock comes to an end! He wouldn't be happy with his frustrating knock. He was clearly struggling. Sams bowls in a full length slow ball slightly outside off, Warner looks to go big and ends up holing out to long-on 49/28.3 Woakes took it at the 3rd attempt! Tossed up, just outside off, hit it flat down the ground at long-off, Woakes juggles a bit but toot it at the 3rd attempt 51/319.1 slower ball, slightly short of a length, Billings nails the pull shot, but doesn't get the elevation he'd have liked as this one flies flat to Charles at deep midwicket 161/615.5 Raza just short of the fifty! Slow ball on a good length on stumps, he looks to pull this away expecting some pace on it, and misses. Ball hits his chest and then his glove and then the top of off. What a way to get out 132/417.1 Quicker on leg stump, he tries to go for a big hit but doesn't get the timing right. There's also no power on that shot. Sams runs in a few yards from long-on to take a low catch to dismiss Powell 148/519.5 slower ball, short again, Holder looks for the pull, gets a bit of a top edge, stays in the air for a bit, and Charles once again runs across from deep midwicket to take an easy catch 168/7Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL170/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.5)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 4.4 ov), 2-49 (David Warner, 7.6 ov), 3-51 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 8.3 ov), 4-132 (Sikandar Raza, 15.5 ov), 5-148 (Rovman Powell, 17.1 ov), 6-161 (Sam Billings, 19.1 ov), 7-168 (Jason Holder, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.1 Guptill has run himself out! First he wears a full ball on the pads and might have been out LBW, Guptill took off for a run, got sent back by Charles. Chameera runs towards it in his follow through, gets there in a flash, and smashes the stumps down with a superb throw 9/116.1 Gurbaz takes a good catch, and Chameera does it for the Capitals! It's a huge wicket as Charles goes. He looks to smash this over midwicket, as he's done so brilliantly throughout this innings. Chameera hits that hard length again, Charles gets a big top edge on it and it goes way up in the air, Gurbaz orders everyone to get out of his way, and then settles under it and pouches it with the big mitts 144/51.6 That's a seed! Full one this time, just a touch of away movement on it, TKC pushes with the line, doesn't cover the movement and nicks it behind to Gurbaz 19/23.6 Six and out! Dickwella looks to go for another big one, but he perishes. Chameera shortens the length, gets the pace up as well. Dickwella is late on the pull shot, but is beaten by the pace, and he can only plonk this straight up in the air towards mid-on, where Warner takes an easy catch. The skipper's pumped for the Capitals! 44/312.3 Cleans him up! He was brought back for this, and he delivers for Warner straightaway. Full and straight this time, Gregory plays all around it, and sees the furniture rattled. Gregory's struggle is over. 115/4Extras10 (lb 4, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL171/5 (18.5 Overs, RR: 9.07)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Martin Guptill, 1.1 ov), 2-19 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 1.6 ov), 3-44 (Niroshan Dickwella, 3.6 ov), 4-115 (Lewis Gregory, 12.3 ov), 5-144 (Johnson Charles, 16.1 ov)
