Dominic Drakes 2-21(4 ov)
18.6
Drakes to Tahir, FOUR, almost carries to third man! Ahmed was stationed very fine at third man and he did the brave thing by going for the catch. This was always dipping on him, it bounces in front and sneaks through. Handy runs for the Emirates. Was a wild slash from Tahir and he got a thick edge that went fine
18.5
Drakes to Tahir, no run, quite full this time, a near-yorker from Drakes and Tahir misses the heave. Grunts in frustration too
18.4
Drakes to Tahir, 2 runs, back of a length again, angling across, Tahir makes room and slaps it over cover. Not the perfect connection but they get a brace
18.3
Drakes to Dwayne Bravo, 1 run, more of the short stuff, Bravo jumps on his toes and fends this awkwardly to point. Just a single
18.2
Drakes to Dwayne Bravo, no run, short again, good height on the bumper and Bravo mistimes the pull onto the pitch, near Drakes

16.5
Drakes to Boult, wide, dug in short but well down leg, Boult lets it pass
16.4
Drakes to Thompson, out Caught by Chris Lynn!! It's a procession out there now! Thompson the latest casualty. Looks to fend at one that rears up from a good length, took his eyes off the ball way too early and pops an easy catch to backward point who was more in a gully position. Emirates are imploding big time here. Thompson c Chris Lynn b Drakes 1(4)

2.6
Drakes to Muhammad Waseem, no run, cut into half! A superb over from Drakes! Finishes it with a sharp nip-backer, pitched on middle and jags back in to beat Waseem on the inside edge. Good bounce
2.5

2.2
Drakes to Basil Hameed, no run, sharp bumper, well-directed and Hameed was clearly rushed as he ducked under it
2.1
Drakes to Basil Hameed, no run, another LBW appeal but this is easily pitching outside leg and also going further down with the inswing. Not sure why the appeal. Drakes is getting some nice inswing though, needs to just get his radar right
0.6
Drakes to Basil Hameed, 3 runs, fuller and a hint of width this time, Hameed leans into the square-drive and gets it away through the gap at backward point
0.5
Drakes to Basil Hameed, no run, shortish this time, extra bounce and Hameed fends awkwardly, pops up for a while but falls onto the track

0.3
Drakes to Basil Hameed, wide, slash and a miss! Shortish and slanting well across, Hameed has a go at it but doesn't connect
0.2
Drakes to Fletcher, out Lbw!! Excellent review by the Giants and they have an early wicket! This always looked like a good shout even in real time but the question was whether Fletcher had gotten any bat on this. Got stuck on the crease to a sharp nip-backer from Drakes, darted back in to brush the front and back pads, and that's probably the noises that made the ump feel like there was some bat. Giants went for the review and were proven right. Nothing on UltraEdge and the expected Three Reds on ball tracking. Fletcher lbw b Drakes 4(2) [4s-1]
0.1
Drakes to Fletcher, FOUR, Fletcher gets going straightaway! Freebie from Drakes to start with, short and wide, and Fletcher takes full toll. Stays back and slashes it over backward point with ease
