    6.4 Chopped on! Flighted a length ball outside the sixth stump channel, Rickelton plays the expansive cover drive away from the pads and gets a thickish inside edge, drags the ball onto the stumps and has to depart after a quickfire start with the bat. Short gets his third scalp! 56/3
    2.4 Short draws first blood! Floated a length ball well outside off, QDK gets down on one knee and plays the slog sweep stroke, striking it flat and hard to the sweeper fielder at deep midwicket. QDK can't believe it, fell straight into the trap, and stands there in disbelief. 24/1
    4.1 Bowled'em with a straightner! Good length ball pitching on the off stump line, this one goes with the arm and Monank plays down the wrong line, plays with the cross bat to knock it through midwicket, gets nowhere near the line of the ball, rattles the middle-off stump. 34/2
    11.6 pace off length ball angling away down the leg-side, plays off the front foot across the line and does not connect. Soft appeal for a caught behind by Pretorius behind the stumps, Couch also joins the keeper. The umpire is unmoved. Short sprints in to consult with his bowler and keeper, then sends it upstairs to have another look. Looks close to me from here. Waiting for the Ultra Edge. Hello! A thin spike as the ball passes the bat, and the Unicorns are celebrating! Pooran shakes his head as he trudges back to the dug-out. 82/5

    10.2 Immanuel gets the big wicket and he is pumped up! Quicker wrong'un ball on the off stump channel, kept a bit low as Pollard tries to back away to play the square cut, under-edges onto the stumps and he hits the turf with the bat in disappointment. Massive moment for the young leg spinner and what a comeback! 76/4
    17.6 Chips it to cover! Full and overpitched ball outside off, plays it inside-out away from the body and only manages to connect the bottom part of the bat, lofts it straight to Short at the edge of the circle for a regulation catch 128/7
    17.2 That's gone miles up in the air, and Hammad holds on to it! Length ball in the slot, Anderson whips it away and plays the stroke half-heartedly, connects the inside part of the bat and miscues it high in the night sky towards deep backward square leg. Hammad settles underneath and takes a tumbling catch as the ball was swirling up there. 125/6

    18.4 Catching practice for Finn Allen! Boult's stay is cut short at the crease. Length ball on the stumps and the batter moves away from the wicket to make room, connects the toe-end of the bat and hits it flat to long on for a simple catch. 133/8
    18.6 Ouch! Ugarkar is hobbling and decides to review it. Rauf sends a scorching yorker right in the blockhole, catches the batter inside the crease and strikes the right boot. Ugarkar failed to get any bat to it. Is it angling down the leg-side though? Nah, it looks adjacent from here. All three reds and hitting the leg stump. MI New York lose their first review and the ninth wicket. 133/9
