- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 Gone! Well, it's been coming... a torturous stay from Markram is ended with another one into the front pad, this time at 90mph and with no bat. Markram asks his partner if it's worth reviewing but it's very straight... and Markram walks off 16/117.2 Gone! Brilliantly bowled by Coles, who takes the pace off a full ball and gives it every chance to turn... Seifert was aiming for deep midwicket, hitting against the spin, and a high catch is taken by Willey at cover 122/68.3 Bowled him! What a comeback! Zampa gives that a rip, pitching on middle and keeping low after skidding on with the perfect amount of turn, does Buttler and knocks back his off stump! 65/213.3 Willey does Dawson with the slower ball! 70mph into the surface, sticks in the pitch as Klaasen tries to give himself room to hammer over cover. Ends up checking the shot and popping the ball up to Liam Livingstone coping with the sun in his eyes at extra cover 105/314.5 Bowled him! Leg stump rocked back, as Zampa targets the base and du Plooy gets in a tangle with a pre-meditated reverse sweep 116/415.2 Oh that is a stinker! Moores punches a full ball to Brevis at cover and sets off without even thinking. Seifert could not be less interested and Moores is left high and dry as the bails are removed 116/519.3 Bowled him! Wicket-to-wicket, skidding off a length, Dawson makes room to cut and misses out completely. The skipper is coming up trumps 136/818.5 Straight to Jamie Overton at long on! Tossed up by Livingstone, Atkinson skips down and doesn't quite get to the ball, low half of the bat, and into the hands of Overton about 10 yards in from the sponge 135/719.5 Fired into the surface, sits up, slapped over the bowler but excellently picked up by Coles who throws and Livingstone, eventually, gathers and removes the bails at the bowler's end to keep that to just a single!

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 Gone! Much like Markram's dismissal in the first innings, it had been coming... Pretorious just goes at a length delivery across him, heaving high to du Plooy who takes a few paces back and to his left at midwicket to take a simple catch 14/19.1 Carlson goes! He's had a few lives but his attempt to slog to cow is his undoing. Dawson slows it right down - 49mph - gets it to dip late and spin sharply, beyond the bat and into off stump 51/33.1 Rew goes! Immediate impact from Tongue! Easy as you like, really, width across Rew, short, and there to be hit, but Rew guides it straight to Atkinson at short third 14/219.3 Baker's got him! Full, fast, 90mph and into leg stump! Livingstone was looking to heave that over to the leg side, clearing the front leg but being done for pace! It was almost in the slot but too quick 130/518.2 Length, scuffed in the air... and Atkinson takes the catch! Brevis' heave across the line was optimistic and he's finally been dismissed 119/419.5 And Baker has done it! The foot is behind the line, the ball pitches just full of a good length and Coles flicks that away into the hands of deep backward square! An outstanding game of cricket falls Manchester Super Giants' way! They do the daily sweep after their women's team saw off Spirit in the earlier match 131/6Extras7 (lb 2, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL131/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.55 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Lhuan-dre Pretorius, 2.4 ov), 2-14 (James Rew, 3.1 ov), 3-51 (Kiran Carlson, 9.1 ov), 4-119 (Dewald Brevis, 18.2 ov), 5-130 (Liam Livingstone, 19.3 ov), 6-131 (James Coles, 19.5 ov)
