    2.2 skies it, and Hosein has his man! Tossed up slightly on a length just outside off. Sharafu advances but again, does not get to the pitch of the ball. Has to reach out and loses control in the process. Slices it and David, back-pedalling to his left from mid off, makes no mistake! 12/1
    5.1 and he gets Gous too! Full and swinging into middle and leg. Gous plants his front foot, trying to go over mid on. The shape, though, means that he shanks it off the inside half of the bat. Loops up tamely and mid on does the rest. ADKR in all sorts of trouble now! 20/4
    3.2 edged and gone! No need for DRS this time! Fullish on middle and off. Pepper backs away and gives Boult the charge. Throws the plumbing at it but only manages a feather through to Pooran. Two powerplay wickets for MI Emirates, and they are in the ascendancy! 19/2
    3.6 Boult has two in the over! Back of a length outside off. Hain backs away too early and in the end, gets too far away from the ball. Slashes at it anyway and nicks it through to Pooran. Not great shot selection, and ADKR are three down inside the powerplay! 19/3
    6.1 off stump out of the ground! Angled in again, this time starting from outside off. Pitches on a hard length and skids through. Evans backs away, trying to go too square and swishes at thin air. Sees his off stump getting uprooted soon after, and half of ADKR's batting unit is now back in the shed! 22/5
    8.6 snaffled up by Bravo at first slip! Fullish in the channel and this seems to shape away very late. Imad goes following it with his hands and gets a healthy outside edge that Bravo snares comfortably! 47/6
    14.1 Salamkheil gets Russell straightaway! A bit of a drag-down on middle and off. The ball, though, seems to skid off the surface, hurrying Russell into the stroke. Clinks it and offers long on the easiest of catches! 95/10
    9.3 chops it on! And Rohid does the Cristiano Ronaldo celebration! Dug into the track on off stump. Bopara dangles his bat, almost half-heartedly. The ball hits the bat near the splice and then trickles onto the stumps. Rohid brings out the 'Siiuuu' celebration to add to all of it! 52/7
    9.6 ADKR are eight down - what is happening here?! Full on middle and off. Seems to just stick in the surface and Willey has to reach out in front of his pad. Cannot keep it down and chips it straight to David at mid on. Proper carnage in Abu Dhabi! 53/8
    11.2 Narine bites the dust too! Hard length outside off. Narine stands tall and swings at it without a care in the world. The ball gets big on him and he splices his shot. Spoons up to Boult at mid off, and he was never going to drop that! 59/9
