- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 tame end for Balbirnie. Looks to hit the ball into the off-side, it floats straight into the fielders hands at point and the batter looks up to the sky in disappointment 64/25.2 Tector falls! Looks to flick the ball legside, but gets under it a little too much. The ball flies high in the air and McCarthy has a lot of time to settle under the ball at mid-wicket and takes the catch. 53/112.1 Tucker looks to run the ball down to deep third. The ball comes off the inside half of the bat and crashes down onto the stumps. 107/49.1 Tector falls early! He stepped out of the crease and slices the ball towards the cover boundary. Delany runs in off the rope and dives forward to take an excellent catch 80/316.5 Dockrell looks to power the ball again, gets the bat underneath it too much and it heads towards mid-wicket. Joyce gets another catch 160/614.5 Harbinson bends the knees and looks to drive the ball through the covers. Ends up playing down the wrong line and the ball flicks off the inside edge and knocks over the stumps. 137/517.2 Lynch launches the ball towards deep mid-wicket. The fielder doesn't have to move as the ball picks him out on the boundary. 162/718 McCarthy looks to muscle the ball over wide long-off. The ball holds up a little in the breeze and the fielder in the deep takes an excellent catch 163/8Extras8 (lb 2, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL196/8 (20 Overs, RR: 9.8)Did not bat: F HandFall of wickets: 1-53 (Tim Tector, 5.2 ov), 2-64 (Andy Balbirnie, 7.2 ov), 3-80 (Harry Tector, 9.1 ov), 4-107 (Lorcan Tucker, 12.1 ov), 5-137 (Samuel Harbinson, 14.5 ov), 6-160 (George Dockrell, 16.5 ov), 7-162 (Seamus Lynch, 17.2 ov), 8-163 (Barry McCarthy, 17.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 Kruger tries to repeat the shot that got him the six. This time the ball is hit a little too straight and the fielder has time to run in off the boundary at long-on to catch the ball. 61/60.5 Looks to repeat the shot next ball, the ball keeps a little low and the batter plays over the top of the ball and is bowled! 7/14 Metcalfe hits the ball straight at extra cover, the fielder gets down low to take the catch. 35/25.5 the ball keeps a little low as Moor looks to pull legside, takes the outside edge and goes through to the keeper. Moor looks a bit dejected as he heads away from the middle 41/36.3 Hoey drops a little short, Delany launches the ball towards cow corner. Didnât connect fully with the shot and canât beat the fielder out on the boundary. Reds in huge trouble now. 42/46.5 the wickets are tumbling! Joyce didn't seem to know what this delivery was going to do, and went back to pull the ball. Plays over the top of the ball and is hit plumb in front of the stumps. Five down now 42/517.1 stumps go flying! Francis looks to hoick the ball into the legside, plays down the wrong line and his stumps go everywhere. McNally gets the wicket that his bowling deserved. 102/912 this time he does get some bat on ball! Plays the ball off the back foot and can only force it into Dockrell's hands at extra cover. McCarthy has to go 75/716.3 Manley takes a couple of steps out of the crease and looks to smash the ball down the ground. The ball spins past the bat and Tucker has an age to gather the ball and take off the bails. 96/820 White clips the ball towards long leg. Turns at the non-strikers end and comes back for the second. Is always going to struggle to make it back and is run out by a few yards. Lightning win! 121/9Extras19 (b 3, lb 6, w 10)TOTAL121 all out (20 Overs, RR: 6.05)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Nicolaj Laegsgaard, 0.5 ov), 2-35 (Oliver Metcalfe, 3.6 ov), 3-41 (Peter Moor, 5.5 ov), 4-42 (Gareth Delany, 6.3 ov), 5-42 (Ryan Joyce, 6.5 ov), 6-61 (Brandon Kruger, 9.3 ov), 7-75 (Liam McCarthy, 11.6 ov), 8-96 (Josh Manley, 16.3 ov), 9-102 (Peter Francis, 17.1 ov), 10-121 (Ben White, 19.6 ov)
