- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.3 slower ball... flubbed to long-on! Gleeson strikes at a pivotal moment. Back-of-the-hander, it comes out as a low full toss. Smith tries to haul it for six but gets no timing whatsoever and picks out the man on the rope. Goes one short of fifty 82/30.5 scooped... but it goes straight up the chimney to slip! Two-ball duck for McKinney. He jumped a long way across his stumps, looking for a pre-meditated shot, but got the execution all wrong. Steepling catch off the splice but safely taken, and Boult makes the early breakthrough for MIL 5/14.3 dug in, flapped to midwicket! Pace on, 82mph from Curran, and Stoinis falls in tame fashion. Maybe he was setting for the slowie again, seemed a little hurried in his pull and a gentle catch looped high to the leaping Rutherford on the edge of the circle 36/216.2 short and muscled, but straight to deep midwicket! Well held by Sowter running in and sliding low to the ground. Stubbs won't be setting off the fireworks tonight. Second wicket for Gleeson, who reaps the reward for going into the pitch and forcing the batter to hit square 104/514.5 picks out deep midwicket! The extra ball brings a wicket. Miller let out a yell of frustration as he connected with his pull. It's a pretty big hit square of the wicket here at the Utilita and he was nowhere near getting hold of it. Safely pouched by Rashid Khan in the deep 95/418.3 banged in and swung into the hands of deep midwicket! Chaudhary was completely off balance, maybe expecting the full one again. One hand off the bat and safely pouched by Vince in the deep 122/619.4 picks out midwicket, Sowter with another tumbling catch! Zaib joins the Brave procession at the death. Bottom-handed whippage but nowhere near enough to clear deep midwicket - though Sowter was looking into the sun and did well to scoop it up 129/819.2 Jordan holes out now! Slower one, 77mph into the pitch, skied into the safe hands of Vince at deep midwicket once again. Jordan looking to muscle another boundary, because he feels his side are unders here 128/719.5 swing and a miss, both batters finish at the same end! Archer was looking to steal one more bye off the last ball, but Wood elected to turn back. Pooran relays the ball to Boult and that's a tidy end to the innings from an MIL perspective 129/9Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL129/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.45 per 6 ball)Did not bat: AU RashidFall of wickets: 1-5 (Ben McKinney, 0.5 ov), 2-36 (Marcus Stoinis, 4.3 ov), 3-82 (Jamie Smith, 11.3 ov), 4-95 (David Miller, 14.5 ov), 5-104 (Tristan Stubbs, 16.2 ov), 6-122 (Nikhil Chaudhary, 18.3 ov), 7-128 (Chris Jordan, 19.2 ov), 8-129 (Saif Zaib, 19.4 ov), 9-129 (Luke Wood, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.4 pinned in front by a dipping low full toss! Huge moment. Into the blockhole with a bit of tail into the right-hander, and it lands on Jacks' toe, right in front of the stumps. No need to review those 93/43.2 picks out deep backward square leg! Two-ball duck for Vince against his old team, on his home ground. Into the surface, Vince absolutely nails the pull shot but manages to pick out the only man outside of the 30-yard circle on the leg side. Stubbs hardly had to move 17/13.3 nicks off first ball! Stoinis is around the wicket and finds just enough movement to take the outside edge. 79mph length ball, angling in and shaping away. Pooran pushes with hard hands, and gets just a little feather on it 17/213.4 loses his middle stump! Rashid is too good. Three-card trick: wrong 'un, wrong 'un, then a nicely flighted legspinner which pitches off and hits middle, turning through the gate. Rashid is pumped! 82/317.3 Jordan throws the stumps down and Rutherford is outta here! Gets his yorker in, toe-ended to mid-on. Jordan picks up and throws, and his direct hit finds Rutherford just short of his ground! Bullseye. Great fielding as ever from him 115/518.3 knocks him over, and Chaudhary is pumped! Curran exposes his stumps, and loses the off peg. Very full, and the dip does for Curran 122/619.2 full and flighted, Rashid sweeps hard... he's running through treacle as Archer fires in the throw from deep square leg, and he's way short of his ground! Rashid just didn't get out of the blocks at all, and wasn't even in shot as Smith whipped the bails off! Great work from Archer in the deep 127/7Extras7 (lb 3, w 4)TOTAL130/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.5 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (James Vince, 3.2 ov), 2-17 (Nicholas Pooran, 3.3 ov), 3-82 (Sam Curran, 13.4 ov), 4-93 (Will Jacks, 15.4 ov), 5-115 (Sherfane Rutherford, 17.3 ov), 6-122 (Tom Curran, 18.3 ov), 7-127 (Rashid Khan, 19.2 ov)
