    2.3 knocked the leg stump over! Hard length ball angling in on middle-leg, kept a bit low on the track, Pepper charges down the track and goes for the wild hoick across the line, misses the line and length and the ball strikes the timber! 21/1

    7.4 cleaned him up with a beaut! Rashid finds the breakthrough! Good length ball on the stumps, it was a googly, nips back in with slight deviation. Hales plays off the back foot with no foot movement, misses the back foot punch and goes through bat-pad to break the stumps! 75/2
    9.3 Rashid has the last laugh! Flighted length ball outside off turning away, Sharafu attempts to go downtown again, this time playing against the turn and mistiming the stroke straight to the long off fielder. TKC walks in a few yards and completes the catch. 88/3

    17.5 Rutherford has holed out! Slower delivery on a length outside off, gets inside the line of the ball and swipes it across the line, miscues the stroke in the air towards long off. Sikandar Raza comes around and gobbles it up near the ropes while running sideways. 183/4

    6.4 Chawla strikes! Generously flighted length ball in the slot on the stumps, charges down the track and misses the line there, enough turn to deceive the batter and is left outside of the crease, easy glove work by Pepper behind the stumps to clip the bails off. 54/3
    3.4 High in the air, and lands on Hales' safe hands! Fuller length ball shaping away outside off, slight deviation, and just enough to deceive the batter. Charles throws his bat at it across the line and mistimes the stroke up in the air to mid-off. Hales did not have to move an inch under the night sky, he gobbled it up with ease. 23/1
    5.1 Massive appeal and the finger goes up! Flighted good length ball pitching around the off stump line and turning in, plays the reverse sweep and hits the back thigh pad in front of the stumps. Abell sends it upstairs. Ultra Edge confirms no bat is involved. All three reds and hitting the leg stump, Warriorz lose their second wicket and their first review. 600th T20 wickets for Sunil Narine 36/2
    12.2 David slices it straight to deep backward point, and Ajay pulls off the DJ Bravo celebration! Fuller length ball angling away wide outside off, David throws his bat at it and slices it in the air, hitting it flat and hard to deep backward point; the fielder comes forward a few yards and grasps it comfortably. David joined the celebration with Ajay for a few seconds, then walked back slowly towards the dugout. 120/6
    10.3 Mistimed the stroke and has to depart! Full and overpitched ball angling away outside off, pace on delivery and Raza tries to send it downtown, connects the toe end of the bat and sends it miles high up in the air towards long off. Livingstone settles underneath the night sky and completes the catch. 96/4
    11.1 And Dre Russ strikes straightaway! Full and straight right on the money, 124.4 kph, pitched up front and DK plays it across the line, plays it too late and sneaks through the bat-pad, clips the off stump. 108/5
    17.3 Sends the off stump cartwheeling! Pace on fuller length ball darted on the off stump line, makes room outside leg and goes for the big heave, swing and a miss, the ball rattles the stumps! 161/8
    16.3 yorker ball on the fourth stump line, plays off the front foot and does not connect, hits the ground with the bat, Pretorius goes for the single straight away. Was there an outside edge, though? That looks close! The Ultra Edge confirms a large spike as the ball passes the bat. There was also another spike after the ball passed the bat. The third umpire is taking his time, as the bat also hit the ground, but he concludes that the edge occurred before the bat made contact with the surface. The final verdict is OUT! Raees' misery with the bat has finally come to an end. 156/7

    19.4 slices it straight to the backward point! Width on offer slower yorker ball, shovels it away but fails to find the gap, strikes it in the air and Ajay grasps it at the edge of the circle while moving to his left side. 193/9
