    3.1 Miscues a skier! Swings but but doesn't control his bat and Pollard backtracks at mid-off and pouches it safely. Allen takes the long walk back into the pavilion. Unicorns need to calm down and need some rebuilding work. This was a length ball on off, not much movement off the deck and he just lunges forward as the ball got big on him, hits him high on the bat 22/3
    1.1 Hits him plumb in front of the stumps, was looking to defend it but he completely missed it and the umpire raises the dreaded finger without any hesitation. Pitched up and nipped back sharply as he tried to get behind the line with a front foot prod. Wade has sent it upstairs. It's a fair delivery, there is no bat involved. Ball tracking coming up. Three reds on the screen and the on-field decision stands. Crucial breakthrough for MI and no loosener to start off the proceedings. Unicorns have to be wary of this quality bowling pair 6/1
    2.5 Castled! That's a cunning ploy, after two short-pitch deliveries, he pitches this one up and it jags back just enough from off to beat his defence. Stoinis makes a mess of his stumps and another Australian is back in the hut. What a sight for the bowler, he has got the big fish! 22/2
    6.6 Lobbed up, fuller on middle and he tries to get underneath it but didn't get all of it. That was high in the air, and taken by captain Pollard at wide long-on. He was nicely positioned and gobbles it up gleefully, didn't have to move much. 50/4

    16.3 Throws it away! Pace off the ball and pitched up, wrecks the off stump as he tries to go for the scoop but this was full and fast, he is nowhere near the line but nevertheless he has done significant damage, hauling his team out of dire straits and the scorecard is looking damn good for Unicorns 179/5

    8.4 Now that's a tremendous riposte from Shadab! Two Pakistanis working in tandem to get a breakthrough, this time he doesn't get the elevation, larrups it over mid-off and Haris Rauf in the deep gobbles it up comfortably, much to the delight of Shadab. A untimely wicket for MI just when the partnership was starting to become threatening 64/3
    0.2 Pitches on a short length around the line off, he gets stuck on his crease and pulls it casually straight to the man at short midwicket who hangs onto in brilliantly. Taylor departs for a golden duck. Success straightaway for Unicorns! 1/1
    2.2 Goes for the pull, looking a bit ungainly. Pitching short and the ball was kicking and screaming off the deck, he was in no position to execute the pull shot, bat turned in his hand as he swivels. Shadab Khan at deep square tracks the ball from the bat, into the air, towards him and then into his hand 13/2
    11.3 Pulled in the air and an easy caught and bowl opportunity for Plunkett! Befuddles him with a slower shorter delivery on off, he went hard at it, mistimed it completely and that's a crucial breakthrough because he is a dangerous customer. A rather subdued celebration probably due to heat, conserving energy and going back to the run-up 94/4
    17.3 Pollard tries to club it over midwicket but didn't get all of it. Short and this time it zips off the surface not holding up that much and it was rising at an awkward chest height, not the perfect position to play the pull and he is caught at deep midwicket by Bishnoi a simple catch 154/5
