Shaheen Shah Afridi	20	6	26	1	1.30	0	0
92b to Shadab Khan, full toss, Shadab looks to swing it down the ground but his timing is awry, and Shaheen settles underneath a simple return catch which loops up into his hands. Shaheen gets Shadab and Fire are on top. 106/6
David Willey	5	3	2	0	0.40	0	0
Haris Rauf	20	6	20	2	1.00	0	0
50b to JL Smith, knocks him over! Full, straight, fast and knocks back his leg stump. 89mph. Rauf runs off in celebration. Smith was looking to work him away through wide mid-on, but hears the death rattle and trudges off. 53/3 86b to LS Livingstone, cleans him up! 81mph offcutter, Livingstone is through the shot early as he looks to swipe him over midwicket into the Hollies Stand, and it rattles his stumps! Rauf wheels away in celebration. 103/5
David Payne	15	9	11	2	0.73	0	0
67b to MM Ali, pace on, Moeen looks to go again but is done for pace. He skies it miles into the air as vdMerwe runs in from long-on to get underneath it... the ball pops up out of his hands, hits his right shoulder, and he somehow snaffles it with his right hand at the third attempt, scrambling forwards!. 80/4 96b to DR Mousley, full toss outside off, Mousley shuffles across and plinks it to long-on!. 109/7
Roelof van der Merwe	15	4	16	2	1.06	0	0
29b to WCF Smeed, spins sharply, Smeed shapes to mow him over midwicket... but skies a top-edge towards square leg, and Clarke settles underneath the high catch. A real struggle for Smeed, who was at the stage where he needed to hit out or get out.. 30/1 38b to BM Duckett, gets a wicket with a drag-down! Into the pitch, outside leg stump, but Duckett top-edges his sweep to short fine leg, where Rauf take the catch over his shoulder. 41/2

60b to GD Phillips, chipped back, holds on at the second attempt! Full legbreak, Phillips looks to work leg-side but gets a leading edge back to Shadab, who palms it up and pouches the rebound. 86/4
Benny Howell	20	10	16	2	0.80	1	0
32b to SS Eskinazi, holes out to long-on. Slow, floaty and wide outside off stump, Eskinazi gets down on one knee and hoicks it straight down Mousley's throat. His innings only last 18 balls, but it's been a match-winning one. 67/1 36b to JM Clarke, smart work from Smith! Angling down the leg side, past the pad as Clarke looks to whip it away leg-side on one leg. No bat on it, and Smith whipped the bails off before Clarke could get that back leg back down again. Superb leg-side stumping. 71/2
Moeen Ali	20	9	15	1	0.75	0	0
42b to LWP Wells, struck on the pad reversing, Bailey raises his finger! Wells considers the review but is talked out of it by his captain. Full and straight from around the wicket with a bit of drift and enough turn. 73/3
Liam Livingstone	5	1	7	0	1.40	0	0
