- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 That's a bail-trimmer! First-ball wicket for Klaassen in the ILT20. Back of a length, swings back in against the angle from left-arm over. TKC swings for the hills and does not make contact with the ball. Klaassen hits the middle bail and celebrates 14/15.3 Holes out to Dawson at long-on. Charles has been put out of his misery. He backs away outside leg once again, Forde chases him. Tries to bowl a yorker, but it comes out as a full-toss. Charles can't get it away and offers a regulation catch to Dawson 48/214.2 drag-down from Aayan but he hides it away from the reach of Abell. The batter catches up with the wide line and toe-ends it to deep midwicket. The outfielder dives forward and snags the catch. End of a fine knock from Abell. Gone for 68 off 41 balls 119/316.5 Rew misses the reverse. Wood hits the stumps. A bit too full and straight for that shot. Rew still goes for it and perishes for 39 off 33 balls 137/418.1 taken at deep point. Wood goes wide, trying to hide the ball from Raza's reach. He gets the toe end of it looking to drive over the top. He does go over the top but obviously doesn't have the distance 154/519.6 swings it out over short fine, this time they aren't able to complete the second run. 174/6Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL174/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.7)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 2.1 ov), 2-48 (Johnson Charles, 5.3 ov), 3-119 (Tom Abell, 14.2 ov), 4-137 (James Rew, 16.5 ov), 5-154 (Sikandar Raza, 18.1 ov), 6-174 (Dwaine Pretorius, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 picked up and picks out Abell at deep midwicket. Wasim loves it. Another inswinger, a bit too full, Nissanka middles it but hits it straight down the throat of Abell 11/14.3 slowie from Pathirana and knocks him over. 122.7ks slower variation from Pathirana, grips in the surface. Gurbaz is through with his shot even before this offcutter arrives. Castled. Pathirana still has it 38/42.6 Caught at mid-off! Raza takes it. Back of a length and outside off, Vince stays leg-side of the ball but can't get on top of the bounce. He splices an overhead catch to Raza. He leaps and takes it. Taskin is pumped and why not 23/23.6 Chipped to mid-on. TKC dives forward and completes a smart catch. Another inswinger from Wasim, but probably not full enough for the drive. Mayers ends up chipping it to the infielder 38/317.6 Pathirana closes his spell out with the wicket of Moeen. Moeen steps away outside leg, Pathirana follows him with a sharp short ball aimed at his head. Moeen pulls weakly and holes out to deep midwicket. Pathirana has turned it around for SW 143/814.3 pitched-up delivery outside off, but it's a slower cutter from Wasim. Omarzai is a bit early into his swing. He holes out to long-off, where Abell completes the catch and snaps the stand 117/515.2 126.1ks slower offcutter. Pathirana drives another short slower ball into the pitch and finds some extra bounce to discomfit Forde. The WI allrounder slogs to the leg side and pops up a top edge to Rew. Pathirana could be in for a big payday at the IPL auction tomorrow in Abu Dhabi 124/616.3 Wasim settles underneath this skier! Short, into the pitch and hides it away from the reach of the batter. Asif miscues it to the right of short third. Wasim tracks it and completes the catch 135/719.2 taken at long-on. Dawson saw an opportunity, the ball in the slot around off stump, so he swung hard and swung free. Just that he couldn't clear the field 152/9Extras8 (w 8)TOTAL163/9 (20 Overs, RR: 8.15)Did not bat: CP WoodFall of wickets: 1-11 (Pathum Nissanka, 1.3 ov), 2-23 (James Vince, 2.6 ov), 3-38 (Kyle Mayers, 3.6 ov), 4-38 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 4.3 ov), 5-117 (Azmatullah Omarzai, 14.3 ov), 6-124 (Matthew Forde, 15.2 ov), 7-135 (Asif Khan, 16.3 ov), 8-143 (Moeen Ali, 17.6 ov), 9-152 (Liam Dawson, 19.2 ov)
