8.20pm So a subdued MI Emirates innings comes to an end with a fizzle as the Desert Vipers are set a subpar target of 150. It might have been worse for MI had it not been for Tim David's late cameo of 28 off 14, but that the situation had got so dire in the first place was potentially down to David being left to enter so late. Despite MI getting off to a rapid start, the Vipers did well to pick up regular wickets, before strangling the batters through the middle overs. Ambati Rayudu and Akeal Hosein put on a stabilising partnership of 49 after MI had stumbled to 58 for 4, but that came at barely over run-a-ball. Luke Wood and Matheesha Pathirana both picked up figures of 2 for 32, while Amir ended with 3 for 26 having picked up a pair in the final over. Wanindu Hasaranga with 1 for 19 was also miserly, with only Shaaheen Afridi out of sorts, going wicketless for 39. Nevertheless the Vipers will feel confident in hunting these down, join us shortly for the chase!

Okay so it seems like MI Emirates had opted to use the supersub in Odeon Smith, but the umpires appear not have been alerted, so he walks on and walks off. DJ Bravo has come on instead. Wood to bowl out. Slight delay, not sure why.
