9.5 to C Munro, bowled 'im, through the gate! Stone gets some movement back in and hits middle stump, Munro swinging hard but comprehensively beaten. Another handy wicket for Capitals as they look to wrestle back momentum. 107/3 11.3 to AD Hales, short and swatted straight to short fine leg! Hales departs now, Vipers stalling at a crucial moment. Seemed to misjudge the pace off the surface and ended up gloving a tame catch to the man on the edge of the ring. Second wicket for Stone. 118/4
Scott Kuggeleijn	3	0	35	1	11.66	7	3	2	1	0
19.2 to MA Jones, sliced to deep point! Pace on, wide line again, Jones goes hard but the bat turns in the hands. Went high but straight down the throat of Shanaka a few yards in from the boundary marker. 165/7
Roelof van der Merwe	3	0	19	2	6.33	11	2	1	0	0
4.2 to PD Salt, reverse-swept, straight to short third! Lobbed full outside off and Salt elects to get funky, rather than trying to hit the cover off every ball... good connection but it was a nice, catchable height for Ngarava. Van der Merwe sinks his teeth in, some respite for Capitals. 66/1 8.1 to DW Lawrence, lofted high down the ground... pouched! Van der Merwe does it again. Stepped down and tried to launch the ball over long-off, but Lawrence didn't quite get the connection and it's safely take in front of the rope. Another much-needed breakthrough for Capitals. 100/2
Haider Ali	4	0	35	1	8.75	7	1	2	0	0
15.6 to SM Curran, spins back in, trapped in front! Adrian Holdstock raises his finger but Curran reviews. Did he get outside the line? Hit on the back leg, just above the knee roll. What does Hawk-Eye say? Umpire's call on impact, the decision stands! Would have rattled middle stump. Nicely bowled by Haider, quick delivery turning past the inside edge. 141/6
Sikandar Raza	4	0	16	1	4.00	9	0	0	0	0
14.2 to AJ Hose, speared into the pads, given! Will Hose review? No, he's walking off... Raza scuttles one through him, pinned on the front pad in front of leg stump as he worked across the line. Another one down for Capitals, who continue to peg Vipers back. 133/5

2.3 to BR Dunk, pings the top of the stumps! Clean through Dunk from over the wicket, pitched up from wide on the crease, straightening into the off bail as Dunk plays across the line. Trouble now in this chase. 19/2
Sam Curran	4	0	39	2	9.75	5	5	1	0	0
1.4 to MDE Holden, makes room to leg, and Adam Hose clings superbly on in the covers! A toe-ended drive, Hose reaches high with his right hand, running and stretching to his left, and tweaks his ~~knee~~ groin, I think, on landing. He suffers for his art!. 16/1 17.6 to MD Shanaka, Full toss, pings the top of off! A loose slash from Shanaka, misses out as his bails take a walk. A breakthrough at the end of the over, but Raza will be on strike. 151/5
Ali Naseer	4	0	31	1	7.75	8	1	2	1	0
5.1 to T Banton, Rocks into the pull but doesn't get hold of it! Extra bounce on the cross-seamer, a spiralling slog flies out to Lawrence inside the rope at deep square leg. Easy pickings. 32/3
Matheesha Pathirana	4	0	24	1	6.00	8	1	0	1	0
14.1 to SW Billings, yorker! That's stone-dead unless Billings hit it. Up goes the finger but he's reviewed! Billings knelt early into the scoop-shot, and his left boot got perfectly in the way as the ball raced towards his middle and leg stumps. Splat!. 111/4
