Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Ashish Pant
Another last-over thriller and the ILT20 is off to a great start. Thanks for tuning in tonight. Hope you had as much fun as we had brining the coverage to you. We will back nice and early tomorrow where Dubai Capitals will take on MI Emirates. Till then, this is Ashish signing off on behalf of Ranjith. Good night!
Tom Kohler-Cadmore is unsurprisingly the player of the match: Yeah, it is great to get off with a win. Would have been devastated had we not got over the line. I felt I need one six [in the last over]. The big side, we could have scrambled back for two and it worked out. He [Aayan] was outstanding in the last over and did not miss by much. Almost got their side over the one The pitch played well. Once you got your eye in, it was easier to hit. It has been a nice build-up. We got here a few days ago and it has been great.
Tim Southee: Nice close one there and it is nice to be on the right side of that. It was good. It is a new group of guys. We had a warm-up game the either day and it was nice. We gave five-ten too many at the backend. But TKC batted brilliantly and got us home. We have a deep batting lineup and you can see the value of taking wickets. We were sitting pretty up front, but then lost our way. [Pitch] A different wicket. Last night it nipped a bit more. It became a little easier today.
James Vince: We were pretty happy at the break. They bowled well upfront and our batters did well. [On TKC] He is a quality player, clean striker of the ball. He measured his innings, and if we had got him out, it would have been different. [On Rehan at No. 3] His innings was outstanding. He put the pressure back onto the bowlers. We have him for a short time, and it was Andy's [Flower] call to send him up. [Last over by Aayan] It was difficult in the dew. Aayan has been a great player for us over the years. He has grown massively. He bowled a great over.
Presentation time
9.45pm And, breathe! Twice in two night a match at the ILT20 has gone to the last ball. This time, though it is the chasing team which has gotten over the line. Tom Kohler-Cadmore, opened the batting, and made sure he was there right till the end with a superb unbeaten 56-ball 83 with six fours and four sixes. He stitched a 105-run stand off 66 balls with Rohan Mustafa, but none of the other batters could do much. Kohler-Cadmore, however, made sure he was there till the end and got Warriorz home
Warriors need 2 runs in 1 ball. Who's getting this? Giants? Warriorz? Super Over?
Warriorz need 2 runs in 2 balls.
Warriors need 8 runs in 3 balls.
Warriors need 10 runs in 4 balls.
So, twice in two days, the match goes to the final over. Who is going to bowl this 20th over for Giants? Will it be Rehan? Will it be left-arm spinner Aayan? Aayan it is, who will bowl this final over... and his first of the innings. All of 19. Can he secure a miraculous win for Giants? Kohler-Cadmore on strike. Warriorz need 10 runs in 6 balls.
Lord's Test blighted by the pitch but tourists should regret passive approach to run-scoring
The pitch made batting so treacherous that a wicket fell every 24.9 balls, the quickest rate in a Test in England since 1907
The Test between England and New Zealand was the third in England without a ball bowled by the spinners
Ben Stokes says "extreme conditions" seen for first Test "not going to help game in future"
Australia will play up to 21 Test matches in their busiest period on record and a fit-and-firing Pat Cummins is hopeful he won't have to rest from any of them
