- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.2 Miscue, and that's that for Charles tonight. Short ball on middle, it is the googly that goes away from him. Charles looks to drag the pull from outside off but skies it towards long-on. Willey runs in and takes a good, low catch. Charles' knock innings ends at a strike rate of under 100 99/54.3 Direct hit, is Monank short of the ground? Nabi thinks so! Oh, he has been ruled out on field. Full on the pad, he misses the flick and it rolls to the leg side. Monank comes down in search of a run but is sent back. Willey quickly gets to the ball, turns around and hits the bull's eye! The free-flowing Monank walks back and Warriorz have been given a jolt 34/17.6 Timberrrr! Fires in the length ball around off, 97.6kph. It skids off the surface, too. Abell should have played forward to it. Goes back to punch it away, gets a nibble on the outside edge and sees the stumps light up. Haider has his finger on his lips in celebration 51/29.4 Kohler-Cadmore is done in the flight. Haider tosses it up once again, outside off, 92kph. Lands and spins away from TKC, who charges down to go big and straight. He is nowhere close to the ball and Jahangir does the rest 65/313.1 Catching practice! Back of a length on leg and going away from off, looked to be the offcutter again. Holds up on the surface a touch. Raza goes back and across to nudge it through the on side but gets it off the outer half back to the bowler. Simple as they come 88/416.1 Sharp catch at short cover. Warriorz's freefall continues. Tossed up full on off and middle, drives it inside out. Straight to Willey, who catches it despite the light flashing in his eyes 101/715.5 Beauty, knocked him over! Salamkheil tosses up the googly outside off, 83.8kph. Draws D'Souza forward but beats him with the dip and turn. It goes through bat and pad to knock the off stump 101/619.2 High... but is it long enough? Sensational take from du Plooy in the deep. Length ball on middle and leg, Harmeet backs away and hoists it across the line. It is the longer square boundary. Du Plooy has his eyes on the ball as he runs to his right from deep square leg. Dives and pouches it inside the rope. Just superb 122/8Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL134/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.7)Fall of wickets: 1-34 (Monank Patel, 4.3 ov), 2-51 (Tom Abell, 7.6 ov), 3-65 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 9.4 ov), 4-88 (Sikandar Raza, 13.1 ov), 5-99 (Johnson Charles, 15.2 ov), 6-101 (Ethan D'Souza, 15.5 ov), 7-101 (James Rew, 16.1 ov), 8-122 (Harmeet Singh, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.6 Knocked him over! Sees Atal shuffle in the crease. Harmeet fires this on a length on middle and leg, 98.3kph. He goes for the sweep but misses and the stumps are shattered. Just the early strike that Warriorz needed 17/114.1 Raza breaks through! Where were you all this while? Tossed up outside off, gets it to turn in despite the dew around. Jahangir gets down to slog sweep it away. Gets it off the toe end, Kohler-Cadmore at long-on takes it easily. End of the 76-run partnership 93/214.5 Catching practice to deep square leg and Raza brings Warriorz back. Tossed up outside off, once again Nabi thinks of playing it with the turn. Does not turn as much as he expects. Gets it off the toe end to D'Souza in the deep. A double-wicket over for Raza and Capitals wobble 97/317.3 Played on! Du Plooy never looked in today. Hopped across to scoop it over short third but ended up getting an inside edge onto the stumps 114/4Extras4 (nb 2, w 2)TOTAL138/4 (19.1 Overs, RR: 7.2)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Sediqullah Atal, 3.6 ov), 2-93 (Shayan Jahangir, 14.1 ov), 3-97 (Mohammad Nabi, 14.5 ov), 4-114 (Leus du Plooy, 17.3 ov)
