9:15pm A frantic end to the innings. It began much more sedately, though, and MINY, after losing Brevis and Pooran early, were content to consolidate. Patel did the bulk of the scoring and while his strike rate did not set the world alight, it ensured MINY had something to build upon. Rashid then entered the fray and provided the impetus the innings was craving. He smashed the ball to all parts and powered MINY to 163.

TSK, meanwhile, were largely good. Mohsin was tidy as always. Noor was expensive, particularly against Rashid, but picked up the wicket of Patel. Hardie also acclimatized well after being called in to replace Bravo at the death, and TSK, despite Rashid's pyrotechnics, will be happy with what they are chasing. Join us in a bit for the run-chase!

Monank Patel: As soon as we lost two wickets, the plan was to not lose any more wickets till the end of the powerplay. Good partnership between me and him (Jahangir). Great innings by Rashid Khan. This is a good total, the odd ball is keeping low and it is a little two-paced. In the past few innings, I was not able to play more than ten balls. I wanted to give myself more time, settle down and then play my shots. We (Rashid and me) communicated really well. He kept on telling me to back my ability. I followed it and got the results.

Hardie to Boult, 1 run, OUT, slower ball dug into the track outside off. Boult fetches it and drags it towards long on. Boult has to charge back for the second and seems to make it. Conway was a little slow in taking off the bails, but as it turns out, even that was enough. The bat was slightly up in the air as Boult dived to make his ground. A run-out to end the innings, and TSK finish off with three wickets in three balls!

TA Boult run out 1 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

Boult to face the hat-trick ball and the final ball of the innings

Hardie to Richards, OUT, two in two for Hardie! Full ball hung up wide outside off. Richards goes after it because he has no other option. Gets a decent chunk of it but not enough to clear Savage on the deep cover point fence. Fairly regulation chance and Hardie, all of a sudden, is on a hat-trick!

H Richards c Savage b Hardie 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Richards is the new batter in. He can clear the fence too

Hardie to Pollard, OUT, six and out! In the slot wide outside off and that was there to be hit. Pollard looks to go inside out but the bat face opens upon contact. Slices it a mile up and Savage, settling under it at deep cover point, clings on. Crucial wicket, even with just two balls left!

KA Pollard c Savage b Hardie 6 (3b 0x4 1x6) SR: 200.00
