    0.4 He's chipped a full toss back to the bowler! Thushara likely didn't want to bowl that, but he'll take it! Full toss around off and swinging away, Waseem was looking to whip it leg side but it pops back to Thushara off the leading edge and Waseem goes for just the one run 2/1
    4.6 Takes a juggling return catch! Thushara has two! It's full around middle and Bairstow gets a leading edge back to the bowler's right. Thushara was veering away and has to adjust and sticks a hand out. The ball pops out of his hand the first time, but even as he was falling over to his right, he holds on in the end! 30/3
    2.6 Knocks him over! Omarzai gets a big wicket here and MI are two wickets down early. It's full outside off and swinging in. Banton backs away a tad bit too much and looks to drive on the off side but is beaten and the ball hits off stump 17/2
    17.5 Great catch at long-on from Gurbaz! Full outside off and Pooran can't get under it as he looks to loft it down the ground. Gurbaz runs in and dives in front to take the catch, and Pooran gets out two runs short of 10,000 T20 runs. Haider Razzaq picks up his maiden T20 wicket to round off what has been an impressive debut spell. Much deserved for him 135/5
    9.5 Has Moeen had Tajinder stumped? Yes he has! This is on a length outside off and it goes on with the angle, beating the attempted drive. He had overbalanced forward and his back foot raised off the ground. Gurbaz was quick behind the stumps and Tajinder Singh has to walk back for a 19-ball 15 57/4
    19.5 Goes short and wide, and it does the trick for Omarzai! 125kph bouncer and taken away from Pollard's arc. He reached out for it and looked to slap it away over cover, but can't clear the fielder in the deep. Sub fielder Dickson takes a good catch moving to his left 157/6

    14.2 Ghazanfar takes a great return catch, running back to mid-on, for a consolation wicket. Nissanka looked to take on this carrom ball outside off and skies it. Tough catch running back and he does very well there. Nissanka walks off to some applause after playing a splendid knock 157/4
    0.5 Skies it, and taken! Danced down a full ball outside off that was shaping away. Looked to loft it straight down and slices it. Banton settles under it moving to his left from mid-off and pouches it 8/1
    2.2 Chops on, Woakes gets his second! Brings his bat down on a length ball outside off and gets an underedge onto the stumps! Cramped him for room as he went for the cut and Giants are two down early on! That seamed in 16/2
    7.3 Full outside off, eased to point for a single. But wait, Tajinder nails the direct hit at the non-striker's end and it's given out! Tajinder is absolutely pumped, that's great fielding and Moeen, who was looking really good, is run out out of the blue! He deviated a little to avoid clashing into the bowler as he ran in and I think that's what cost him in the end 63/3
