- BATSMENRB4s6sSR13.5 Oh dear! Short has holed out! Fuller length pace off delivery on middle-leg, Short stands upright inside the crease and flicks it away to widish long on, did not get quite hold of it this time, long on fielder moves to his right side and gobbles it up 160/28.2 Kenjige gets the breakthrough! Generously flighted ball outside the off stump, moves towards the line of the ball and drills it away towards the covers, did not get enough elevation to clear the ropes, into the safe hands of Pooran. 86/115.5 Pollard strikes again! Pace off delivery in the slot around the off stump channel, dances down the track and tries to go downtown, opens the face of the bat and swings it high in the air to long on, miscued the slog stroke and only managed to find the fielder near the ropes 192/316.4 Up in the airrrr... And taken! Banged in short pitched ball outside the off stump, moves onto the backfoot and plays the swivel pull stroke, miscued the stroke and skies it high towards deep mid wicket, Pollard calls for the catch and completes it with ease 197/4Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL246/4 (20 Overs, RR: 12.3)Fall of wickets: 1-86 (Tim Seifert, 8.2 ov), 2-160 (Matthew Short, 13.5 ov), 3-192 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 15.5 ov), 4-197 (Romario Shepherd, 16.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR16.1 Shepherd gets the big fish! Chops on! Slower through the air ball angling away wide outside off, plays away from the body, tries to bludgeon it through the covers, thick inside edge and dragged onto the stumps, the bails are flying! 167/39.3 Plunkett gets the breakthrough! Banged in short pitched ball on the stumps, full swing of the bat, slower bouncer and cramped for space, connects the leading edge of the bat towards short thirdman, substitute fielder Connolly tracks back and completes the catch 119/115.1 widish yorker ball darted outside off, tries to whisk it down to deep third, extends his arms and reaches for it, massive appeal from Seifert but the umpire shakes his head. Short decides to send it upstairs. It was too near, with the bat hitting the ground and the ball passing through it at the same moment. After an extended look from various angles, the third umpire decides to call it out! Two noise there, says the TV umpire. 159/216.2 Two in two, clipped the off stump! Back of a length ball on the off stump channel, plays across the line and failed to connect, goes through bat-pad and kisses the off stump on the way! 167/417.4 Catching drill for Gore! Banged in short pitched ball on the stumps, off-cutter, cramped for space, plays the swivel pull shot and miscued the stroke, did not get enough elevation or power to beat the fielder there, straightforward catch for the deep mid wicket sweeper fielder 174/519.2 Well directed bouncer delivery on the stumps, Richards goes for the big shot, swings his bat at it and skies it high towards deep mid wicket, Gore settles underneath near the ropes and makes no mistake 196/6Extras17 (lb 6, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL199/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.95)Fall of wickets: 1-119 (Monank Patel, 9.3 ov), 2-159 (Nicholas Pooran, 15.1 ov), 3-167 (Quinton de Kock, 16.1 ov), 4-167 (Michael Bracewell, 16.2 ov), 5-174 (Tajinder Singh, 17.4 ov), 6-196 (Heath Richards, 19.2 ov)
