- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.6 top edge flies all the way to backward square! Finch falls at just the wrong moment. Shorter length, he tried to roll a pull shot around the corner for a single with the Power Surge coming, he closed the face too soon, got a top edge and it carried all the way to Vince on the rope. Finch is fuming 75/114.5 caught at deep midwicket! He miscued this one. It was in the slot on leg, he cleared the front leg again, lofted it high but didn't middle it and it just fell short of the rope, Jordan Silk can catch those with his eyes closed so it was an easy take for him 121/215.6 holes out to deep midwicket! He advances to a ball that is in the slot, he gets it off the toe and it carries to the rope but not over it, Silk is there again and it's another easy catch 130/317.2 Given LBW! He missed a low full toss on middle and off! It was a well disguised slower ball that dipped late, he tried to heave over the leg side but missed it and he was hit plumb infront of off 137/418.6 towering sky ball caught by Dwarshuis! Good catch. It was a length ball, Nabi sat back and nailed it out of the middle of the bat but got under it and lofted it too high, it went above the lights, Dwarshuis and Manenti were unsure who should catch it behind square and Dwarshuis clutched it to his stomach 159/519.1 Bowled him off the pad! Full and well outside leg, Imad tried to clear the front leg and whip square, it comes off the inside off the right pad and ricocheted onto off stump, knocking it out of the ground 159/6Extras7 (lb 4, w 3)TOTAL168/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.4)Fall of wickets: 1-75 (Aaron Finch, 9.6 ov), 2-121 (Shaun Marsh, 14.5 ov), 3-130 (Sam Harper, 15.6 ov), 4-137 (Rilee Rossouw, 17.2 ov), 5-159 (Mohammad Nabi, 18.6 ov), 6-159 (Imad Wasim, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.2 Finally they catch him! Harper catches the sky ball! Well bowled by Imad. Philippe jumped out early, Imad threw it up slower and wider, Philippe had to reach and skied it straight up, Harper called everyone out and took it comfortably 76/26.2 holes out to long on! Pressure built and that is the result. Full, drifting into off, he tried slog sweep, got a top edge that sailed towards long on, Sutherland runs in and holds his nerve nicely to take the catch 53/112.4 caught at deep backward square! The President does it again! Shorter on leg, he swivels on a pull but hits it flat and hard straight to Harvey at deep backward square 97/410.3 Given LBW! Drifting into off and sliding on with the arm, it beat the inside edge as he tried to work to leg, it looked like it hit in line of off and was sliding into middle and off. Big wicket 80/317.4 Rossouw takes a diving juggler! Pure good fortune! Amazing catch! Silk sliced a wide slower ball high to deep point, Rossouw runs in and dives full stretch forward, it bounces off his hands, hits his face, lands back on his forearm and rolls up to his elbow and he cradled it against his body! It never touched the ground. What a catch! 143/614.2 holed out at deep midwicket! Harvey held his ground just inside the rope. Well done by Imad. Slightly fuller and quicker, 13kph quicker, Christian went back again and just mistimed it enough, it fell one metre short. Harvey took note of the rope and took an excellent catch 118/518.2 towering sky ball caught by Finch at mid off! Well bowled from Richardson. Banged in back of a length again, Brathwaite tried to launch down the ground, he sliced the ball high towards mid off, Finch camped under it and took the catch 149/718.5 caught at deep backward point! Short and angled across him, he slashed it off a thick outside edge and it flew straight to the well positioned Rossouw and he didn't juggle this one.
