- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.4 truly outrageous from Jacks at long-off, maybe catch of the tournament! Wow. Pretorius jumps across and slashes hard towards the members in the pavilion. Jacks takes a good catch, but is close to the rope and overbalancing. He throws the ball up to himself, a little further than he would have liked, then dives forwards at full stretch to take it one-handed, just off the ground. Incredible boundary fielding. 79/32.4 perfect yorker dips into his leg stump, and Boult sends him off for good measure! Searing inswinger, Bairstow can't get his bat down in time, and Boult gives him a little salute as he trudges back to the dugout. Boult's still got a magic ball in him! 21/17.2 smashed on the back thigh by a googly, and up goes the finger! Livingstone reviews after a chat with Pretorius. Looked like it struck him in line to me, but height might be an issue. Long delay as UltraEdge builds. No spike. Impact is in line, and it's projected to skim the top of the bail! Livingstone has to trudge off 61/212.5 drops his bat, loses his wicket! Short ball, Brevis shapes to pull and is smashed on the glove. His bat flies towards point, but the ball balloons up to Pooran, and the veteran Gleeson has bounced out the young pretender 102/415.5 low full toss, reverse-lapped straight into Pooran's hands! Ballooned up off the toe with no pace, as simple a catch as you could hope for 118/5Extras11 (b 1, lb 2, w 8)TOTAL160/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Jonny Bairstow, 2.4 ov), 2-61 (Liam Livingstone, 7.2 ov), 3-79 (Lhuan-dre Pretorius, 9.4 ov), 4-102 (Dewald Brevis, 12.5 ov), 5-118 (David Willey, 15.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 sliced high, Milne gets underneath it! Jacks swings hard from the crease, but there's just a hint of movement away down the slope. Thick outside edge hangs in the air, Milne (short third) and Crane (point) both interested, but it's the big quick who settles underneath it 19/16.1 straight down Coles' throat at long-off, Money Mase is in the game! Gets his old Hampshire captain first-ball. Full legbreak to start, Vince doesn't move his feet and chips it tamely to the man on the rope. He can't believe what he's done, and has to drag himself off! 48/212.3 brilliant Jonty Rhodes-esque run-out from Willey, Pooran is outta here! Curran steps across his stumps and bottom-edges a pull back down the ground. It deflects off Overton's boot, and Curran calls: "Yes... no!" as he sees Willey charging in. He picks up and dives towards the stumps, releasing the underarm throw mid-air to catch Pooran short 91/316.1 short and wide, sliced straight to deep point! Uses the dimension to his advantage. Banged in halfway down, Curran throws his hands at the cut, but picks out Milne on the boundary rope. Safe pair of hands 132/418.1 short outside off, Moores clings on at deep point! Good catch diving forwards after running in off the rope, nerves of steel from the teenager. Raza throws the bat, slashing at the wide one, but can't get enough on it 155/616.3 nicked this time, Overton is pumped! Angled across the left-hander, Rutherford looks to heave him over the leg side on the pull. Cross-seam, shoots through a touch low to take the bottom edge, and Bairstow gets down well to take the low catch! 136/5Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL164/6 (18.4 Overs, RR: 8.72 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Will Jacks, 2.2 ov), 2-48 (James Vince, 6.1 ov), 3-91 (Nicholas Pooran, 12.3 ov), 4-132 (Sam Curran, 16.1 ov), 5-136 (Sherfane Rutherford, 16.3 ov), 6-155 (Sikandar Raza, 18.1 ov)
