6:45pm MI New York end up with 194, which was in large part down to Pooran. He came out to bat inside the powerplay and dominated the first six overs, racing away to 33 off 10 balls at one stage. His onslaught continued in the middle overs too and when he was at the crease along with Pollard, 200 seemed to be on the cards. They lost a bit of momentum thereafter but right at the end, Boult smashed two sixes and a four in a six-ball cameo to take MINY up to 194, which is a good score to have on this surface.

As for the Orcas, Imad was the star of the show, bagging two wickets and only giving away 23 runs in his four overs. Harmeet, brought into the attack late because of Pooran's presence, was not bad either, scalping David and Pollard. The fast bowlers were not quite up to scratch, and that is one of the primary reasons the Orcas now have to chase down 195. Do join us in a bit for the run-chase!

Harmeet Singh: (On coming into the attack late) Yeah, because Nicholas was batting. We were hoping to get him out and then bring on the left-arm spinners. (On the send-off to David) It is just in the game. He was going after me, trying to intimidate me. He was finding it tough when I was executing my lengths, that is why maybe he was trying to get into my head. Except the last over, we got back pretty well after Nicholas got out. The wicket is playing better, the slower ones are sitting up nicely. I think it is a chaseable total.

Gannon to Wiese, 1 run, OUT, Has Wiese run himself out? Dug into the track outside off. Wiese scuffs it towards deep extra cover and decides to come back for a risky second run. He scampers to make his ground but Hayden Walsh, the substitute fielder, rifles a throw at the keeper's end and de Kock whips off the bails, with Wiese's bat on the line. The Orcas keep chipping away!

Gannon to Rashid Khan, OUT, holes out to long off! Length delivery outside off stump. Rashid sits deep in his crease and tries to smash the cover off the ball. This one seems to stick in the surface a little, though, and might have bounced a tad extra too. Either way, Rashid could not get it right out of the middle and ended up offering a simple catch to Klaasen!

Harmeet Singh to David, OUT, yes, it does! David bites the dust! Full delivery just outside off stump. David tries to tonk it into tomorrow but this is just full enough to not allow him to get under it. The ball takes the inside edge, cannons off the pads and into the stumps. Harmeet gives himself a bit of a send-off to boot, and this is a massive wicket at this stage!
