- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR18.2 Hammered in and veering leg side, takes the pace off, in his hitting arc and he goes for the big shot down the ground, Powell tracks the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hand! Excellent catch but what an innings from James Vince when his team was in dire straits 117/62.6 Gone! Chips the bumper straight in the air and gives a regulation catch to Sam Billings while trying to tuck it away, ruffled by the searing bounce and got a bit strangled on the leg side. Big wicket for Capitals. Usman was not in a mood to hang around for long and went hard from ball one, I think it was his role to make full use of the powerplay 25/14.5 Magnificent bowling! Darts in from round the wicket and targets the stumps, ball kept very low and perplexed him completely. He exposed his stumps in an attempt to play it through covers but is a little unlucky because it didn't bounce at all. Haider is pumped up, punched the air in jubilation 29/27.2 Looped up on middle and turns away towards middle and leg, plays it with the spin towards midwicket inside the ring, massive communication breakdown in the middle as Jordan Cox aimlessly heads down the pitch and the non-striker wasn't interested at all, single wasn't on and he knew his belated attempt to run back and each step was futile, gotta go, needless wicket 40/37.4 Another! Soft dismissal, this is irresponsible batting in such a crucial game! Tossed up on a tight off stump line and Jamie Smith larrups it straight into the hands of Olly Stone who pouches it in his big bucket hands. Giants in disarray. Jamie couldn't get underneath it properly 40/410.4 Dismissed! Hurls a teasing effort ball thumping it into the surface and getting that extra kick off the turf, he tries to work it away off his pads into the leg side and gets a leading edge to Sikandar Raza at cover-point, so just when they were rebuilding, Hetmyer loses the plot. Not good from Giants 62/5Extras7 (b 1, lb 3, w 3)TOTAL138/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.9)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Usman Khan, 2.6 ov), 2-29 (Chris Lynn, 4.5 ov), 3-40 (Jordan Cox, 7.2 ov), 4-40 (Jamie Smith, 7.4 ov), 5-62 (Shimron Hetmyer, 10.4 ov), 6-117 (James Vince, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.1 Miscues the skier! Tossed up from round the wicket on middle, he skips down the track and it was lofted out of the orbit as if it defied gravity, Overton at long-on settled under the skier and caught it comfortably.
