10.6 two in the over, and Adil Rashid is at it again! This is a googly and even though it seems as if Waseem picks it, he cannot quite get the better of it. A bit of skid off the surface too and this length ball on off breezes past Waseem's swiping blade. Off stump pinged, and the Warriorz have more than a foothold now! 84/3

6.4 middle stump pegged back, and Siddique breaks through! Zinged in on a length on off. Comes in with the angle and Bairstow has made his mind up to deposit this onto the highway. Loses his shape, though, and does not watch the ball very closely either. Swipes at thin air and hears the rattling of middle stump soon after. A sprightly cameo nonetheless, but a timely breakthrough for the Warriorz! 56/1

10.4 Pooran shanks it, and pays the price! Zipped through on a back of a length on middle and off. Seems to hold in the surface and that does the trick for Rashid. Pooran, trying to go over deep mid wicket, is a tad early on the stroke and the ball skews off the bottom part of the blade. Theekshana nearly loses it in the sun it at deep mid wicket but recovers in time to snaffle up the chance over his right shoulder. Big moment in the game! 83/2

16.2 holes out to long on! The wily, old fox keeps coming up with the goods for the Warriorz. This is tossed up on a length on middle and leg. Banton hares down, thinking he can go over long on. Does not quite get to the pitch of the ball, though, meaning he miscues it off the toe-end. Kohler-Cadmore settles under it and does the rest. Banton walks back after a brisk cameo! 131/5

15.6 back of a length on middle and leg, denying Banton room. Helped off the hips towards deep backward square leg 129/4

17.2 simple catch at long on, and Pollard has to go! Fired in on a back of a length on middle and leg. Pollard hangs back and then mows at it. Southee, though, has placed himself very straight at long on, almost behind the umpire. Pollard could not quite middle his stroke and his opposite number made no mistake. Warriorz with another vital wicket at this stage! 149/6

18.3 goes straight up, and DK sends Tajinder packing! Slower bumper outside off and this gets up very high. Almost near the back shoulder, meaning that Tajinder cannot get the purchase he wants on the pull. A tame top edge and Karthik, running forward, completes the simplest of catches! 165/7

19.4 loopy bumper that balloons over for a wide, but we have a run out at the other end! All happening here in Sharjah. Ghazanfar plays three strokes in his head before missing with his fourth and actual attempt. Nearly runs into Shepherd thereafter as the latter calls him through for the bye. Karthik misses his shy at the batter's end, but Siddique does not, with Ghazanfar stranded. MI Emirates eight down but Shepherd is back on strike, importantly! 173/8

18.4 in the air, and taken at long on! Pinged in very full on leg stump. TKC thinks he can pop this downtown and land a decisive blow, but the ball is too full to get under completely. Off the bottom part of the bat, and he arrows this straight to Banton at long on. He tracks it all the way and takes it to his left with minimal hassle. TKC departs after a fifty, and the Warriorz are in a spot now! 171/6

2.4 Naveen sticks to his guns, and the slower ball does for Charles! Bowled fuller on the stumps and Charles is tempted into a swing. Does not pick the slower ball early enough this time, though, and is far too early into the stroke. Plinks it off the toe-end and Banton, circling under it in the wide long on region, gobbles up the chance. Charles is disappointed; MI Emirates, anything but! 21/1

4.4 soft, soft dismissal, and Ranjane has been put out of his misery! Off-pace and dug into the track outside off. Ranjane has a frail swipe at it and swipes at it too early. The ball spoons off the top edge and Farooqi takes the catch in front of his face at short fine leg. Ranjane never looked comfortable at the crease and he now has to depart, with the Warriorz in a spot of bother! 35/2

5.5 Farooqi has the last laugh, and he roars in delight! Seems like another slower ball, bowled at 118kph. Pitches on a length on middle stump and then comes in with the angle. David does not quite read it and swings far too early. Misses the line of the ball completely and his leg stump is pegged back soon after. Massive, massive moment in the game! 48/3

15.3 much bigger lbw appeal, and the finger does go up this time! But Raza will review now! Slower on a fullish length on middle stump. Raza gets down on one knee and swipes across the line. Misses it and gets pinged on the back thigh. Was it too high? The direction seemed alright. Long wait as Ball Tracking builds up. The nerves are palpable. Ball Tracking finally comes up and...reckons the ball would have clipped the top of middle. Umpire's Call, and Raza has to go! 151/4

15.4 no need for those fielders, because Ghazanfar has rattled the stumps! Oh my days! Floated up deliciously on a length on middle and leg. The ball hangs in the air, almost as if Ghazanfar has it suspended by a thread. He then gets it to dip and by then, Pretorius is committed into a swing, aiming to go downtown. Makes zero contact, and the ball thuds into the top of middle stump. Ghazanfar is over the moon and also on a hat-trick; the Warriorz' chase wobbling now! 151/5

19.4 DK bites the dust, and is that the game as well?! Shepherd holds his nerve, Karthik cannot quite get the innovation right. Full and slanting into leg stump. Karthik pre-empts it and tries to reverse-lap it over short third. Makes a complete mess of it and the ball loops up tamely off his blade for Farooqi to snare at backward point. Karthik seems in a lot of pain as he hobbles off, and he is now being assisted by the physio too. Not the outcome the Warriorz would have been wanting, but this is just the wicket MIE were after! 179/7
