Hope you enjoyed our coverage, thanks for tuning in. See you for the double header tomorrow. I'm Ekanth, signing off on the behalf of co-commentator Abhimanyu, and our scorer, Thilak. Ciao.

Mohammad Waseem is the POTM: Thanks, I'm very happy. Pitch was good, I was trying to play my natural game. I've been practising to play on the off sides and all around the ground.

Kieron Pollard: It was a good wicket, we'd have batted first anyway. We started well, kept the momentum and finished well. Waseem has been good, I saw him in the T10 and the scouting has been there. (On what sets them apart) We just have to be consistent. You can continue to win or lose, but we need to be consistent and not complacent.

Moeen Ali: I think the wicket did a lot. If we had got wickets up top, we'd have been in. But they kept going and got a good score. At one point, I thought they would get 220 but we dragged it back. We lost two in two in the powerplay which was difficult. Gurbaz played well but losing wickets make it tough.

9:32pm: Woakes had a profitable net session, he put up an exhibition but the damage was done. Was close to a no show from the batters who preceded him. Gurbaz was the exception, him taking on Farooqi was the only highlight where Warriors were on the right side. Rest of it was bowler dominant. Farooqi had Lewis dragged on, then bowled a nipbacker to trap Malan, which might become the ball of the tournament. Moeen consolidated but Bravo deceived him with the slower one and lucked out to get Gurbaz bowled off the pad. Then it was the Tahir show! Wickets and celebrations made existence exuberant. Woakes' fifty helps Warriors reduce the battering of NRR but they'll have to answer a lot of questions. For Emirates, this was a cakewalk.
