- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.1 "That's out - he's smashed that! bellows Overton as Jacks has a swing and a miss at a hack to the off side after he's followed by a bumper... No one's interested but Overton who manages to convince Livingstone that it's worth the review... and he's right! Snicko shows a feather through to Bairstow who didn't hear a thing 97/212.2 Wider, sits up outside off, lifted by Vince to Willey at long off! Willey makes amends, albeit with a far easier catch. Off the toe from Vince who knew he was in trouble as soon as he felt the contact 91/113.4 What a delivery! An absolutely snorter, dug in and rearing up to Pooran, who can only fend that 88mph lifter through to Bairstow. Brute of a ball 100/319.5 On the hip, flicked away... and taken by the injured Coles back on at deep square! An eventful innings comes to an end... MI London finish on 164 for 5. A getable score at The Kia Oval but this pitch has a few surprises in it... 164/516.1 Length fired through, down the leg side... and given as wide. There was a noise there but was it just thigh pad? Livingstone reviews but the umpire says he's too late despite the big screen saying there was one second left... and Livi's won the argument. Up it goes to the TV umpire... and the review is successful! 118/4Extras7 (w 7)TOTAL164/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.2 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-91 (James Vince, 12.2 ov), 2-97 (Will Jacks, 13.1 ov), 3-100 (Nicholas Pooran, 13.4 ov), 4-118 (Jason Roy, 16.1 ov), 5-164 (Sherfane Rutherford, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.4 Lapped into Pooran's gloves! Pace off from Boult does the trick and Lhuan-dre Pretorious falls for it! Waits for the ball trying to force it beyond the keeper but ends up giving a gentle catch at waist height 101/25.3 Stone gets the breakthrough! Wide on the crease, full, Barstow skews it down the ground and Jacks, running in and across from the long on boundary, takes a smart catch 63/112.4 Short, hammered out to deep midiwicket... and taken by a leaping Rutherford on the sponge! Great hands, outstanding theatre as Livingstone has another few words as the MI fielders charged through to celebrate amongst one another 116/3Extras6 (b 4, lb 1, w 1)TOTAL165/3 (17.4 Overs, RR: 9.26 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-63 (Jonny Bairstow, 5.3 ov), 2-101 (Lhuan-dre Pretorius, 9.4 ov), 3-116 (Liam Livingstone, 12.4 ov)
