    18.1 van der Dussen pulls the slower ball to square leg straight down the throat of the fielder. He'd been deprived of the strike of late and never quite found his timing here, and Ackermann takes a simple catch 148/5

    9.6 top-edged, and it's a simple catch for the keeper. He moved towards the offside and attempted to clobber it over midwicket, only to sky it as Phil Salt lets it nestle into his gloves 75/2

    11.4 another swipe, another top edge! Curran joins his England teammate back to the pavilion! It was the overspin that did for him, and Dupavillon had to readjust at the last moment to snare a sharp diving catch as he reckoned with the wind 81/3

    15.2 gets a faint edge on it through to the keeper, and Brevis departs as well. The umpire didn't seem to hear the edge, though just about everyone else did. It was sent up for review, and the spike is obvious. The Capitals strike again 114/4

    18.4 tried to be too clever by half and pays the price. Another ultra slow delivery, and Pollard wasn't quite sure what to do with it. Initially wanted to smear it through the onside before looking to dink it over the keeper. Salt takes a brilliant one handed diving catch to end Pollard's destructive cameo 151/6

    19.2 holes out the very next delivery. Opens the face and tries to guide it over long-off, but doesn't get the power to clear the man, holing out to Will Jacks on the boundary instead. 161/7

    19.5 one-handed slog to cow corner from Rabada, where a simple catch is taken. It looked really good, and sounded just as nice. But he got more height than elevation on it and MICT lose their eighth 163/8

    19.6 swing and a miss, and Thusara's off stump is sent on a cartwheel! Five wickets in the last two overs peg MICT back, but a late cameo from Pollard ensured they managed to get up and above 160, which didn't look likely about six overs earlier. Join us in about 15 minutes as we take stock of how the Capitals respond 163/9

    2.1 and he too strikes first ball - gets rid of Jacks. A length ball around off, just shaping away. Jacks hangs his bat out and gets an outside edge. The first slip fielder takes an excellent catch, tumbling to his left 11/2

    8.5 is this the game? A length ball at the stumps. Verreynne goes back and goes for the pull towards long-on. But hardly any elevation or power behind it and Rabada takes a simple catch at long-on 60/4

    6.3 full around off and Rossouw goes aerial towards long-off. But instead of hitting it, he ends up slicing it. Rabada settles under it and takes the rebound after the first attempt pops up 45/3

    11.5 top-edged into the deep to Sam Curran at midwicket, straight down the throat of the man. It's death by spin here for the Capitals as Ackermann falls as well, and MICT are now firmly on top 78/5

    17.3 chips it to Pollard at long-off! Tried to make room but the bowler followed him, and he hit through the line without the power required. Knew from the moment he hit it he would be on his way, and MICT back on top now 133/6
