- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.1 Rashid on the board now, Kohler-Cadmore walks back. Tossed up ball on a length, it is the googly, TKC backs away to heave it over the leg side. Ends up hitting it into the wind, it carries nicely to Banton at long-on. A laboured knock from the English import, Warriorz lose both their openers in a short span now 124/213.3 Catching practice to deep backward square leg, and Ghazanfar breaks through. Tossed up on a length just outside off, Charles gets down on a knee and slogs it high and straight in the fielder's hands. It was the longer part of the ground and against the wind, too 112/119.6 Slow bouncer again, Zahoor has bowled a superb last over. Raza can only pull it straight down long-on's throat. No boundary at all in the last 14 balls of the innings and Warriorz finish with 174 for 3 despite a 112-run opening stand 174/3Extras14 (b 4, lb 2, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL174/3 (20 Overs, RR: 8.7)Fall of wickets: 1-112 (Johnson Charles, 13.3 ov), 2-124 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 15.1 ov), 3-174 (Sikandar Raza, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.4 Top edge and Waseem does not get away! Raza gets both the openers in the space of two overs. Looked like the legspinner on a length on middle and leg, he goes back to pull but only hits it down deep square leg's throat. No mistake from D'Souza and Warriorz claw their way back 81/27.2 Raza gets the breakthrough and Bairstow is out of here. Tossed up full outside off, he goes for the reverse sweep and hits it towards short third. Pathirana dives to his right to take a low catch. Sharp catch that, the ball was travelling. Just the breakthrough Warriorz were searching for 68/112.6 Pathirara has his hands together and his eyes closed! He is on the board and MIE slip. The slower short ball, digs the offcutter in outside off. Banton fetches the pull from outside off but hits it straight to deep midwicket, who makes no mistake 96/314.1 Fantabulous catch, Kohler-Cadmore, you beauty! Runs to his left from long-off, stretches his left hand out, gobbles it up with both hands as he tumbles down to ensure the ball does not pop out. Is that a telling blow for MIE? Full ball outside off, in the slot for Pollard to loft it over extra cover. He goes for it and looks to have got the desired result, only for TKC's interruption. A few checks by the TV ump and it is a clean catch. Pollard cannopt believe it, walks back shaking his head 98/414.4 Easy caught and bowled for Siddiqui and he is dismantling the MIE big-hitters on his own. Digs the short ball in, does not get to Shepherd as quick as he expects. It is the slower one. Ends up being early on the pull and getting a top edge off the cue end. Siddiqui runs forward in his follow-through and takes it without much ado. MIE have gone from 68 for 0 to 101 for 5, and are well behind now 101/518.4 Very full outside off, drilled to long-off. And Tajinder limping in the middle is hampering Pooran as well. So MIE decide to retire him. He is retired hurt 148/5Extras7 (nb 1, w 6)TOTAL168/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.4)Fall of wickets: 1-68 (Jonny Bairstow, 7.2 ov), 2-81 (Muhammad Waseem, 9.4 ov), 3-96 (Tom Banton, 12.6 ov), 4-98 (Kieron Pollard, 14.1 ov), 5-101 (Romario Shepherd, 14.4 ov), 5-148* (Tajinder Singh, retired not out )
