- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.1 super catch at the edge of the ring at cover. No timing and Bird runs back, puts in a jump and holds on to it 48/16.1 leading edge, this time point takes the catch. Went a mile in the air, the fielder trembled briefly. Ran back, ran forward, then composed himself to take it. Hales was looking to go over midwicket, this was a slower ball that gripped the surface and bounced a touch more. Good take in the end from Jack Edwards. 50/219.6 swings and misses, they try to scoot a bye but the keeper underarm flicks a direct hit. Ferguson can't be saved despite a full-length dive 149/87.6 cracker of a delivery and he's got a wicket he deserved. This one drifts away, angles across and skids through to beat the outside edge as he prods, along the way drags his ack foot out of the crease too and the keeper effects a simple stumping. 54/314.3 pitched up, he backs away to drill it down the ground but toe-ends. Long-on has to come in a long, long way, which he does. Abbott also had to run diagonally, cover a lot of ground, pick it up amid the lights and then slide across the turf. He did all of these and yet managed to keep his eyes on the ball to pull off a wonderful catch. 110/415.1 chips this googly to midwicket. Pope continues to impress with every outing. Sharp turn and bounce with the wrong'un, hint of dip as well which meant he had to reach out to play. Superb from the youngster 112/515.6 magnificent! Pope to the fore again to break the back of the middle order. Spun the wrong' un nicely, got it to hit length outside off, he went for a slog too early, missed and the ball flicked the pad, hit the stumps 114/616.3 chipped straight to long-on. For some strange reason, he seemed to check his shot instead of teeing off properly. 115/7Extras10 (b 2, lb 4, nb 2, w 2)TOTAL149/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.45)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (Usman Khawaja, 5.1 ov), 2-50 (Alex Hales, 6.1 ov), 3-54 (Matthew Gilkes, 7.6 ov), 4-110 (Alex Ross, 14.3 ov), 5-112 (Chris Morris, 15.1 ov), 6-114 (Chris Green, 15.6 ov), 7-115 (Daniel Sams, 16.3 ov), 8-149 (Callum Ferguson, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.1 given and his brush with good luck is over. Phillipe was frustrated with being unable to score freely, looks to whip it up and over square leg, misses and is plumb lbw 38/20.5 through the gate, the slider has done the trick. Looks to work across the line, this one spun away a hint to beat his swing to crash into middle stump. 1/18.6 beautiful ball and he's gone! This is a superb in-drifter on a length, gathered pace after it pitched to beat the batsman on the inside as he played for turn 67/317.1 slower and fuller, deceived by the change in pace and he's toe-ended this lofted hit to cover. Ferguson runs back and takes it with a tumble. The game turns again 122/69.6 stunning direct hit at the bowler's end. Gamechanger courtesy Green, who hares in, picks up the ball one-handed and fires a throw one bounce. Moises only tried to dink it into the leg side and pinch two, instead sees the plan fail spectacularly. 72/416.3 whips this straight into Chris Green's bucket hands at deep midwicket. Would you believe it? It was a dolly of a full toss 110/519.6 we're going into a Super Over, folks. He pulls straight to deep square, has to turn back for the second, the throw is good, keeper alert, gathers the throw cleanly and gone! What a finish. It's not over yet. 149/7Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL149/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.45)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Hayden Kerr, 0.5 ov), 2-38 (Josh Philippe, 6.1 ov), 3-67 (Daniel Hughes, 8.6 ov), 4-72 (Jordan Silk, 9.6 ov), 5-110 (Jack Edwards, 16.3 ov), 6-122 (Moises Henriques, 17.1 ov), 7-149 (Tom Curran, 19.6 ov)
