- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.1 And he strikes immediately! Back of the hand slower ball into the surface, Marsh, ticking, wants bat on ball but it lollipops up to bother Sam at cover 84/34.5 Gone! Much quicker, fuller, into Rickelton who is totally taken by surprise, flailing across the line. Skipper does the business 40/17.2 Brook goes! The limited overs skipper comes and goes for 8 - Rashid Khan dropped short again and Brook wanted to go back-to-back. The ball was there to be hit but Brook snatched at it and Sowter came in to take the catch as it was dying 10 yards in from the fence 55/213.4 Gleeson gets his man! Again, it's excellently timed by Crawley... and yet again he's found a fielder. This time on the full, as a length ball sits up and Crawley, aimlessly, whacks that straight into the midriff of Rashid Khan a matter of yards from the sponge. 95/512.1 Lawrence charges a length back, slices that off the middle... and into the hands at Sowter at deep cover point! Risky from Lawrence as he looks to dictate terms to Gleeson, but he's goneski 87/418.5 Yorker does the trick! Pace on, arrowing towards the base of leg stump, Alsop had cleared the front leg to find the boundary and ends up wearing it on the back boot. Alsop reviews but continues to walk off... confirmation on the big screen that he is, indeed, plumb 136/913.5 Two in two! Pace on this time, nipping away outside off, Benny Howell squared up and gets a thin edge through to Pooran. Sunrisers are falling apart.... 95/616.4 Alsop goes down the ground again... but straight into the hands of Jason Roy at long on! Full ball, in the slot again actually, but Carse isn't a good enough batter to hit that cold 117/718.4 Gone! Excellent work from Pooran, who sprawls to his right to gather a botched ramp off a slower ball. From the floor, the keeper throws to Boult, who is positioned in front of the stumps at the bowler's end, under-arming the last half-a-yard to beat Potts' dive 136/819.4 Gone! Short, wide, under-edge nick through to the keeper! That's four for Gleeson, and Sunrisers Leeds dismissed for 143.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 Jacks goes! Crawley's decision to persist with Carse pays immediate dividends. Angled in at the stumps before it seams away, Jacks was trying to launch over to the leg side but is beaten by that movement, spooning high to Benny Howell at cover 4/18.4 Vince goes! A torturous stay comes to an end! Vince beaten all ends up with a similar delivery to the one before - nipping in with pace - taking out off stump! 51/31.3 Caught at slip! Outstanding line that time, and great pace to seam away from Roy, who gets the thickest of edges with a fend through to Marsh. Sharp take from a sharp delivery! 4/2Extras7 (lb 4, w 3)TOTAL144/3 (16.4 Overs, RR: 8.57 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Will Jacks, 1.1 ov), 2-4 (Jason Roy, 1.3 ov), 3-51 (James Vince, 8.4 ov)
