MI Emirates have won the toss and have opted to bat

Pitch Report | Wasim Akram:
"A brand new surface. It's drier than the other pitches, so less seam but there'll be some swing. Good batting deck, it might grip a bit."

0.1
Wood to Kusal Perera, no run, Wood starts with an outswinging yorker! Brilliant ball. Late shape away from the left-hander and that actually saves the batter. Perera is late to bring his bat down and the ball swings past the off-stump. Replays show that the ball actually brushed the off-stumpUltraEdge confirms the same

MIE 42/0 (5) CRR: 8.4

6.1
Hasaranga to Muhammad Waseem, out Lbw!! Hasaranga strikes first ball! Muhammad Waseem has a chat with his batting partner and decides not to review. Hasaranga didn't even bother to appeal, he knew that the batter was a goner. Flighted googly, Waseem doesn't pick it as he gets forward to block.

Lawrence to Kusal Perera, out Caught by Rutherford!! Tossed up outside off, Kusal Perera gets down to slogsweep. Makes decent contact but picks out the man at deep midwicket. Gets the placement wrong does the left-handed batter.

11.1
Lawrence to Pooran, FOUR, clubbed, Pooran brings out the switch hit, gets down low and then swipes it over cover, the ball races away to the ropes

11.6
Lawrence to Pooran, SIX, hammered, nicely tossed up outside off - Pooran gets a good stride forward and then lifts it nonchalantly over mid-off - the fielder in the deep was interested, but he can only watch it sail over his head

12.2
Ferguson to Pooran, out Caught by Lawrence!! That's the end of Pooran - on a good length and slanting into the left-hander, Banton picks the length and then shovels it over square leg, but he got a lot of height and not enough distance, straight down Lawrence's throat at deep square leg, a body blow for MI Emirates

12.3
Ferguson to Pollard, out Tom Banton Run Out!! aa chance, Ferguson has put it down, they're alert to the possibilty of a run-out at the striker's end, a direct hit from Hasaranga and Tom Banton has been dismissed, he's short by a mile and it's two-in-two for the Vipers. Was a good length delivery and Pollard got a leading edge towards the bowler - Ferguson bent down low, got both hands and couldn't hold on, Pollard saw the chance of a single as the ball rolled away towards short mid-on, but Hasaranga is qucik on the ball and catches Banton short.

Tom Banton run out (Hasaranga) 15(17)

13.1
Hasaranga to Pollard, SIX, cracking short, a rank long hop from Hasaranga, was looking to push in the wrong 'un, Pollard swivels across and then hammers the pull into the second tier of DICS

13.4
Hasaranga to Pollard, FOUR, thumped, tad too full from Hasaranga - Pollard gets a good stride forward and drills it back past the non-striker, strike of long-on and the ball races away

16.2
Sam Curran to Pollard, FOUR, a one-handed drive and Pollard has got enough to beat the fielder in the deep - was full and wide of off, he had to reach out and the bottom hand came off, but he still imparted enough power to earn a boundary

17.2
David Payne to Mousley, out Caught by Lawrence!!

18.2
Ferguson to Pollard, SIX, back-to-back sixes for Pollard - banged in short and at the stumps, Pollard swivelled across on the pull, gets a big top-edge and the ball sails high over the keeper's head, into the stands
18.1
Ferguson to Pollard, SIX, crunched, he loves pace on the ball, a length ball and Pollard can get under it, hoists it high and over long-on for a massive hit

18.6
Ferguson to Pollard, out Caught by Wood!! Catching practice at deep mid-wicket, it's Luke Wood and he doesn't drop too much - was the slower short ball and Pollard dragged the swat, flat and hard, but straight into the hands of the fielder, end of an useful cameo.

Pollard c Wood b Ferguson 36(23) [4s-2 6s-3]

David Payne to Shepherd, SIX, they're dealing in sixes at the moment, friendly back of a length delivery at the hips, Shepherd gets inside the line, uses the pace on the ball and whips it over backward square leg for a maximum
