Usman Tariq to Shepherd, no run, slow and loopy outside off, googly, Shepherd looks to slog and drags it off a thick inside edge onto pad

Usman Tariq to Shepherd, no run, punched back down the pitch

Usman Tariq to Pollard, out Caught by Sam Curran!! This is turning out to be a dream debut in ILT20 for Tariq. Has made a big impact with his spell and now gets the massive wicket of Pollard. Carrom ball outside off, he tries whacking it off the back foot but miscues it to long-off. Pollard c Sam Curran b Usman Tariq 15(9) [4s-1 6s-1]

Usman Tariq to Pollard, SIX, launched over long-on! Slow length ball wide of off, a tactic that has worked for Tariq but Pollard is different gravy. Doesn't hit it cleanly but it's more than enough

Usman Tariq to Pollard, 1 run, slow length ball outside off, Pollard drives off the back foot to long-off

Usman Tariq to Mousley, 1 run, slow and wide outside off, Mousley cuts it to sweeper cover

Usman Tariq to Sanjay Krishnamurthi, out Lbw!! Trapped by the googly first ball and up goes the finger! Sanjay takes the review! This seemed to be doing too much on first viewing, let's see what ball-tracking says. Meanwhile there are some words exchanged between the players and umpires step in to sort things out quickly. Okay here's ball-tracking, and it's just clipping the outside of leg stump and will stay with umpire's call. Nicely floated up on a good length, Krishnamurthi gets a big stride in but is hit on the pad and has to depart. Sanjay Krishnamurthi lbw b Usman Tariq 0(1)

Usman Tariq to Tom Banton, out Caught by Sam Curran!! Tariq removes the dangerous Banton and he takes a bow in celebration! Banton has a smile on his face. He seems to be signalling something before starting his long walk back. Not sure what that was about. This is a slow length ball wide of off, carrom delivery perhaps, and the pull shot is mistimed to long-off. Tom Banton c Sam Curran b Usman Tariq 63(27) [4s-6 6s-4]
