    3.3 clothed to Curran, and Nissanka is outta here! Dug into the track and this follows the batter just outside leg. Nissanka walks down, trying to manufacture something but this ball gets very big on him. Hits near the sticker as he hacks at it and Curran, lunging and sprinting forward from mid on, does the rest. Tanveer has three, and the Giants in a spot of bother early! 22/3
    1.4 cleans him up with an absolute seed! Back of a length delivery just outside off and this threatens to come in with the angle. On pitching, though, it straightens just a touch and that squares Gurbaz up completely. He has no clue on what to do and the ball breezes past the outside edge before thudding into the top of off. Dream start for Tanveer, and Gurbaz has to walk back for a low score! 16/1
    1.6 nicked and gone! Two in the over for Tanveer! Beautiful out-swinger outside off and a proper tempter. Vince is enticed into a loose waft away from his body and does so with minimal footwork. Too far out to reach and all Vince manages is a feather through to the keeper. Vipers and Tanveer up and about early! 16/2
    9.6 rapped on the pad, and the finger goes up! That looked pretty adjacent! But Mayers wants to check! Maybe worth a look, just because of how he is batting. This is a fizzing googly, pitching on a fullish length just outside off. Rips back in and Mayers plays down the wrong line. Impact seems to be in line. No bat involved either. And Ball Tracking has the ball thundering into the top of leg stump. Mayers has to go, and he takes a review along with him! 67/5
    5.5 simple catch for first slip, and Tanveer is on fire! Perfect Test match bowling. On a back of a length outside off. A hint of movement away and Erasmus is drawn into poking at it. A thick outside edge and Lawrence does the rest. Giants, who had lost just three wickets in the powerplay in all of their previous games combined, are now four down! 30/4

    16.5 knocks him over this time! Sizzling yorker and this zones into Omarzai's boots. He tries to squeeze it out into the on side but is beaten for pace a touch. The ball screams past, kisses the back pad and then deflects onto the stumps. No real celebration from Curran, but he will know, deep down, how important a wicket this is. A wicket at just the wrong time for the Giants, though! 116/6
    17.1 and Noor has another! Leg-spinner on a back of a length on leg stump. Adair backs away, trying to go inside out. The ball spinning into him, though, means that he ends up hitting it much straighter. Long on, placed a little wide, does not have to move a muscle and gobbles up the chance! 117/7

    1.4 straight through Fakhar, and Wood has an early wicket! Fullish just outside off and this seems to move in late. A bit of nip off the surface too and Fakhar, going searching for it in front of his pad, leaves a huge gap between bat and pad. The ball bursts through and thuds into the stumps. Fakhar has to depart for 14, and the Giants have a bit of a foothold in this innings now! 20/1

    3.6 oh dear - that is a terrible mix-up! Back of a length on off. Nawaz wants to drop and run into the off side. He sets off, only to be sent back mid-way. Holden also took a couple of steps before retreating and by then, it was too late for Nawaz. He sprawls but the fielder at extra cover holds his nerve to relay it to the bowler, who does the rest at the batter's end. Complete breakdown in communication, and the Vipers are two down! 35/2
