- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 Samson beaten by jaffas from Siraj, nicked by a shorty widey ball from Rabada. More length but with that width, it's made for the cut. 148ks, Samson reaches out for the cut with the upper body and no footwork, wanted to go square. Got a thin edge off the bottom of the bat that flew to Buttler's right 21/13.6 Urvil's aggression lasts two balls, Rabada too hostile and accurate. He goes hard length at 149ks after being driven off a full length. Same line - around leg stump. Urvil made room but not enough, cramped on the flat-bat hit down the ground. Top-edge goes to mid-on's left 25/24.4 Golden duck for the impact sub. Sarfaraz wants to pull his first ball over square leg for six. But it's a cross seamer that skids through just over off. Bat went from slightly low to high. Like Tendulkar vs McGrath in the 2003 final. This one though, went back to the keeper 26/38.2 No-look out! Gill takes the high ball at cover, well in the ring too. Pace in the early 80ks, fullish ball lands on middle and turns away. That's what did Brevis in. He made room and went for a swipe over long-on, diagonal-bat swipe. Bounce on the ball meant it took the top edge and went in the other direction. 37/415.3 TIMBER! If you guys won't catch it, I'll clean up the stumps, says Arshad. Length ball on off stump, Dube looks to go across the line, misses and sees his off pole flattened 96/517.5 That's how you take catches says Jason Holder as he holds onto one at deep third. On-pace back of a length ball outside off, Kartik looks for a pull, gets a big top-edge that sails straight up. Holder does the rest 122/618.6 A tennis forehand from Overton but only as far as long-off who takes a comfortable catch. Banged in short on off, was the offcutter. Overton looks to clear the ropes but can't get enough power behind the shot and Shahrukh does the rest 143/7Extras12 (lb 2, w 10)TOTAL158/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.9)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Sanju Samson, 3.3 ov), 2-25 (Urvil Patel, 3.6 ov), 3-26 (Sarfaraz Khan, 4.4 ov), 4-37 (Dewald Brevis, 8.2 ov), 5-96 (Shivam Dube, 15.3 ov), 6-122 (Kartik Sharma, 17.5 ov), 7-143 (Jamie Overton, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.2 A little too late, but Brevis has taken a stunner to see the back of Sai Sudharsan. Dragged down outside off, he absolutely shellacks the pull to the right of Brevis at deep midwicket, who runs to his right, flings out both hands and takes an excellent diving catch. 155/26.2 Appeal for stumping, sent up to third ump. 98ks length ball landed just down leg and went past the flick. Gill's back foot slid just outside the crease as Samson collected the ball and pushed the bails off his right hand. He was sliding leg side, didn't let the momentum carry his hands back. Gill's foot is centimetres in the air, if at all that, and that's enough for the third umpire to rule him out quickly 58/1Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL162/2 (16.4 Overs, RR: 9.72)Fall of wickets: 1-58 (Shubman Gill, 6.2 ov), 2-155 (Sai Sudharsan, 16.2 ov)
