    1.1 One slip in position.Comes from over the wicket, short of a length on an attacking off stump line, awkwardly fended to cover, and Gurbaz is well short of the crease at the non-striker's end, direct hit clatters the stumps and he has to go, that's a massive scalp upfront, single was never on and there was huge miscommunication in the middle, Zuhaib hits the bull's eye, great awareness 2/1
    7.4 Off-stump is rearranged! Bangs it on a hard length and gets to shape back just enough to go through the gate, he played down the wrong line and exposed his stumps, Brathwaite is right on money and that is a lovely sight of the bowler, Warner admonishes himself for not getting behind the line 40/4
    2.3 Snaffled straight to Hetmyer at deep backward square who times the jump perfectly and pouches it above his head, didn't find the meaty part of the bat as he tried to play a release shot but it hasn't come off, it hasn't been easy scoring. Another fiery delivery on a shortish length and aiming at the body, he takes the aerial route but didn't get the distance 6/2
    4.3 Top edge caught by Cordan Cox at deep midwicket and Sam Billings has to take the long walk back to the pavilion! Braithwaite with a lovely dancing celebration, he got down low and connected well after shimming across off but got more elevation than distance, struggled for timing in his innings 18/3
    11.5 Dominic Drakes, what a catch! Zubair bowls a full ball wide of off, batter goes down on one knee to clear the long-off fence but can't. Drakes moves to his right, slides and takes a low, sensational catch to send Chopra back. Replays confirm the catch was taken cleanly 67/5
    18.6 Yorker wide of off, gets down on one knee and slices to backward point. Is that out? yes, replays confirm it went from the toe end of the bat to Erasmus, who jumps and takes the catch head-high. 122/7
    15.1 Jordan strikes in his first delivery of the over! Bowls full length ball on the stumps, the batter swipes at it. The ball went so high and didn't go the distance. Brathwaite completes the catch near long-off boundary to send Powell back 92/6

    0.5 Cleaned him up! Full length ball outside off, nips back in to disturb Smith's off stump. Brilliant stuff 4/1
    7.3 Brilliant catch, Sam Billings, take a bow! Full ball again on stumps, he charges down and heaves this towards long-off where Billings takes a single-handed catch after perfecting the jump 67/3
    6.5 Gone! Akif gets the big wicket. Lynn just wanted to hit everything. Full length ball outside off, he doesn't connect it well, gets an inside edge onto the stumps 61/2

    13.2 Holes out to short third! Tossed up outside off, Usman looks to hit this across the line, but gets a top edge to Holder. Raza strikes in his first over 112/4
    13.4 Warner takes the review. Full ball on the stumps, it spins away as Hetmyer leans forward to defend. Ball hits his back thigh. Loud appeal for wicket but umpire thinks otherwise. Three reds light up! Umpire has to reverse his decision. Hetmyer completely misses the line to hand Raza his second wicket 112/5
    14.3 Bowled him! Spinners are bringing the game back for Capitals. Tossed up on off and middle, Brathwaite leans forward to defend but plays the wrong line. It just spins away to take disturb his off stump 119/6
    14.4 Back-to-back wickets! What's happening, Giants?! Van der Merwe bowls a short ball wide of off, Jordan just casually lofts this straight to Raza at cover 119/7
