7.59pm So Carey, Wells and Short are able to take Strikers to a decent total, which looked unlikely when the spinners were weaving a web early on. Hinchcliffe was superb, and Maxwell turned his arm over quite effectively too. The chase in just a short while from now. Stay with us.

Martin S: "Sooner or later teams will have to get to grips with the resource issue in T20s - putting Short in (career strike rate 115) with a handful of overs to go ahead of Rashid or Neser reduces your expected 20 over score. "
