Sheldon Cottrell	4	0	32	1	8.00	14	3	2	0	2
2.2 to E Lewis, In the air, and gone! Cottrell bangs it in short and Lewis looks to pull, but gets the top edge and fine leg takes a good catch moving back. Cottrell brings out his salute and that trademark celebration. Lewis was getting bogged down and finally succumbs to the pressure. Departs for a four-ball duck. 13/1
Gus Atkinson	4	0	29	1	7.25	10	4	0	0	0
3.3 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Atkinson strikes for the Vipers! On a length on middle and off, Gurbaz was playing across the line as he looked to get it over midwicket, but gets a leading edge that sees the ball balloon up in the air. Sam Billings takes a simple catch after settling underneath the ball. 25/2
Tom Curran	4	0	36	1	9.00	12	2	2	1	0
5.3 to T Kohler-Cadmore, Caught at deep third! Banged in short outside off, he came out of the crease and looked to cut it, but didn't quite middle it and it goes straight to Rohan Mustafa in the deep. 38/3
Tymal Mills	3	0	11	1	3.66	8	0	0	1	0
9.6 to MM Ali, Great catch by Tom Curran! Mills bangs it in short and Moeen gets it off the toe end of the bat and Tom Curran takes a good running catch at midwicket. 66/4

Benny Howell	4	0	23	1	5.75	5	1	0	0	0
10.6 to DJ Malan, Straight to long-on and the wickets keep tumbling! Very full on middle and leg that cramped Malan for room and he tried to flick it away, but couldn't clear Alex Hales in the deep. 68/5

0.6 to Rohan Mustafa, Oh, he is smoked it straight to Woakes at deep square leg! Mustafa throws his head back in disgust. Goes the orthodox sweep this time around and absolute nails it but Woakes snaps it up. That has hurt, but he held on.. 8/1
Chris Woakes	4	0	48	1	12.00	10	6	3	0	0
1.6 to C Munro, Right down the throat of deep square leg! Oh, dear, that's a soft dismissal .Was the short side of the ground as well. Nonchalant back of length around the hips. He swivel-pulls but ends up finding Denly, who did not have to move an inch. Warriors have two wickets up front. Just the kind of start they would have hoped for.. 15/2

Junaid Siddique	2.4	0	17	1	6.37	7	1	0	3	0
16.1 to SW Billings, Straight up and Billings departs one short of his fifty! On a good length, he gets across wanting to get a single to square leg. Ends up getting a massive top-edge and Naveen runs in from midwicket to complete the catch.. 143/3
