- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 Payne ends Kohler-Cadmore's pain. Three deliveries, three false shots and off TKC goes. Pitches the length ball outside leg with TKC looking to back away and give himself room. The ball sticks on to the surface as TKC pushes at it. Gets a leading edge, and Payne takes the simplest of catches 7/12.6 Edged and taken and isn't Amir pumped up! Back of a length ball angling across Charles. He backs away eyeing a cross-batted swipe. The ball gets big on him and he gets a thick top edge to the keeper. Azam leaps and takes a good catch 19/219.5 That is a special delivery by Tanveer and Roy is a goner. Pinpoint yorker at 138.8kph on off stump. Roy is late to get his bat down in time, misses and sees his stumps rattled. 158/78.5 Another one bites the dust. Vipers get the all-important wicket of Seifert. A touch slower on middle and leg. Siefert looks for a slog sweep, doesn't connect cleanly and ends up hitting it straight down Gurbaz's throat at long-on 63/310.4 Leading edge back to the bowler. The spinners doing the job for Vipers. Legbreak on leg stump. Wade looks to work this to the on-side, but the ball sticks on to the surface after pitching which induces a false shot and Sowter makes no mistake in his follow-through. 76/415.6 Excellent catch by Curran haring in from long-off. Fuller in length on off. Moeen was looking to go wider over covers, gets it off the toe-end and Curran takes a lovely catch running forward. 115/519.2 Brings out the Rashid Khan-special snake shot, but doesn't get enough power behind it. Fuller in length on leg stump. He whips it but doesn't get hold of it enough and deep midwicket takes a simple catch. 157/6Extras7 (b 1, lb 1, w 5)TOTAL162/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.1)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 1.1 ov), 2-19 (Johnson Charles, 2.6 ov), 3-63 (Tim Seifert, 8.5 ov), 4-76 (Matthew Wade, 10.4 ov), 5-115 (Moeen Ali, 15.6 ov), 6-157 (Karim Janat, 19.2 ov), 7-158 (Jason Roy, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 Cleans him up with a ripper. Gurbaz is flummoxed. He is down on his haunches, and can't believe what's happened. Big inswinger on a length, that pitches outside off and seams sharply into Gurbaz. He eyes an on-the-up drive and leaves a big gap between bat and pad. The balls sneaks through and rattles his stumps. 3/18.1 And he strikes first ball on return. Is that the opening which Warriorz were looking for? Slower length ball on middle. Hales backs away, looking to belt this through covers, like he has all evening. This time though, finds Tom Kohler-Cadmore at covers who makes no mistake 74/212.1 And he strikes on comeback! Pacy 140.9kph ball that pitches on a good length and nips back into Holden. He is beaten by the pace and sees his leg stump pushed back 112/3Extras7 (lb 2, w 5)TOTAL165/3 (16.4 Overs, RR: 9.9)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 0.6 ov), 2-74 (Alex Hales, 8.1 ov), 3-112 (Max Holden, 12.1 ov)
