    0.2 huge appeal, and given! Ramjani with the early breakthrough! Fizzed through on a length on middle and leg. Grips in the surface slightly and spins back in. Vala is caught on the crease and has a hurried prod at it, only to play all over the line. The umpire raises his finger but Vala, after a chat with his partner has gone upstairs. Not sure if this is the right call. No bat involved. Pitches in line, impact in line and smashing into middle and leg. The PNG captain has to go, and he takes a review along with him too! 0/1
    3.3 Ura falls too! PNG are capsizing! Another hard length delivery, on middle and off. Bounces a little more than Ura expects and that meddles with his timing. Looks to go over mid on but can only splice it tamely to Mukasa. Kyewuta is delighted, and Mukasa does a salute too in celebration. Uganda well in the ascendancy here! 19/3
    2.3 Bau bites the dust! Hard length on middle and off. Bau has had enough of the pushing and prodding and goes walkabouts. Tries to muscle it over mid off but the ball does not quite arrive. Chalks it off the toe-end and Mukasa, back-pedalling from mid off, completes a smart overhead catch! 17/2
    6.5 Has Siaka been run out?! Back of a length outside off. Siaka rides the bounce and dabs it towards third man. They decide to come back for the second but the second run was never on. Siaka stretched every sinew, evening sprawling across the turf but was well short as the keeper gathered the throw and whipped off the bails. Just what PNG did not need at this stage! 36/4

    12.1 big appeal, not given! Fired in full on middle and leg. Hiri comes down the track and then has a fresh-air shot. Gets struck on the pads but the umpire is not convinced. Was he too far down? We go upstairs to find out. Nothing on UltraEdge, and the ball has hit Hiri on the back pad. Impact in line and Ball Tracking reckons it would have crashed into the middle of middle stump. Uganda have another, and PNG are now six down! 51/6
    10.2 Nsubuga has his first T20 World Cup wicket! Pushed in fuller on middle and off. Looks like an arm-ball or a slider from the release. Amini hares down the track, trying to smash it into next week but does not get to the pitch. The ball comes into him with the arm, beats his swing and rattles leg stump. PNG sink further! 48/5
    15.5 massive appeal, turned down! Slanted in on a length on middle and leg. Doriga gets down on one knee and has a yahoo across the line. Misses it completely and gets rapped on the back thigh. The umpire is not interested, but Uganda are, and they review. The major question here is whether this was sliding down. Looked good on height. No bat involved. All eyes on Ball Tracking now and....it shows the ball would have thundered into leg stump. Three reds and Doriga is outta here! 65/7

    16.3 hot knife through butter! Fizzed through on a length on middle and leg. The trajectory is flat, and that makes Soper go back. The ball, though, is not quite short enough to be camping in the crease. Pitches, skids on and Soper is awfully late on the stroke. Breezes past his bat to knock back the stumps, and Uganda are just two wickets away from bowling PNG out! 67/8
    19.1 edged and gone! Kyewuta hammers the final nail in PNG's batting coffin! Back of a length outside off. Vanua skips down the track and aims for the moon. Loses all shape and only manages to nick it through to the keeper. Kyewuta is jubilant, and Uganda will be thrilled to bits with their effort so far! 77/10

    18.4 leg stump knocked back! Back of a length delivery that pitches on off and continues on with the angle. Nao swings like a rusty gate and his bat ends up in a different postcode to the ball. Hits the top of leg stump, and PNG are on the brink of getting bowled out! 77/9

    0.3 pinned on the pad, and that is two ducks in a row for Mukasa! Length in the channel and this decks back sharply. Mukasa does not really commit to the front foot and has a waft at it. Misses the ball by a mile and it strikes him right in front. The umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger, and Mukasa does not even bother with the review! Just the start PNG would have hoped for! 1/1
    2.1 another massive appeal, and the finger goes up! Uganda are rocking now! Length ball that finishes on the stumps. Ssesazi, like Mukasa earlier, does not really come forward and plays from his crease. Plays all over it, though, and gets rapped on the flap of the front pad, in front of leg stump. Ssesazi has a chat with his partner and decides to review. Did that pitch outside leg? No, it did not. Pitching in line, impact in line and hitting the stumps. Three reds, and Uganda are three down! 6/3
    1.1 clothed to mid on! Now then. Now then! Hard length on off, and this seems to rush onto Obuya. He tries to muscle it over mid on but the ball comes onto him much quicker than he anticipates. Spoons it up to Vala, and Uganda in some early strife! 6/2
    17.5 goes straight up, and taken this time! Hard length just outside off. Riazat, like he did earlier in the evening, hacks across the line and skews it off the outer half of the bat. Kariko comes running in from third man, dives forward and takes the catch. Riazat walks off to applause from his teammates and the support staff. Is it too little, too late, though, from PNG's POV? 75/7

    5.5 cleans him up with an absolute ripper! Length in the channel just outside off. Snakes back in with the angle from around the wicket and Ramjani is all at sea. Goes for the booming drive but leaves a massive gap between bat and pad. The ball bursts through gap, and flattens off stump. Uganda lose another in the powerplay! 25/4
    6.3 simple return catch, and Vala has a wicket in his first over! Tossed up full otside off, enticing the drive. Nakrani cannot resist the temptation and goes after it. He is not to the pitch of the ball, though, and cannot keep it down. Chips it back at Vala, and the PNG skipper does the rest! 26/5
    13.4 oh dear, that is shocking running between the wickets! Zipped in full on the pads. Riazat flicks it towards long on. The second always seemed tight and that was made even riskier after both batters hesitated on the turn. Miyagi went through with it in the end, only to fall short by a fair distance. Will that moment of madness turn this game?! 61/6
