Well, that was an enthralling first innings. Ekanth will be back to take you through Sharjah Warriors' chase. Don't go anywhere!

Woakes: "The new ball offered a little bit I think. I was sticking to Test lengths with the new ball and then variations as the game went on. The guys at the top need to be a little bit watchful, but if you get off to a flyer, then you keep going and look to stay ahead of the asking rate."

7.45pm Well then, that was a brilliant innings from MI Emirates. They started slow and Chris Woakes struck early. Andre Fletcher gave them momentum at the end of the powerplay before Woakes returned to send him packing as well. But Muhammad Waseem hit a brilliant 71, while Nicholas Pooran raced to 49 to set MI Emirates for a strong finish. Sharjah Warriors thought they could keep the target under 200 when Siddique struck twice in as many balls to remove Pooran and Najibullah Zadran, but the veterans Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo finished strong to take them to 204.

Woakes to Pollard, no run, Wide yorker and Pollard gets bat on it, but can only squeeze it behind to the wicket keeper. Was that a bump ball or a catch? They discuss reviewing it. And they have reviewed it. That seems to have bounced before Pollard hit it, but it bounced again on the way to the keeper, so no wicket there and Sharjah lose a review. Woakes finishes with fine figures of 2-23 from his four overs

Here's Woakes, with his final over. And this may be a crucial one

That over could now help Sharjah Warriors stop MI Emirates from reaching 200. Pollard is still not settled and Bravo too is new to the crease.
