Saurabh Netravalkar to Pollard, 2 runs, Corbin Bosch put in a full length dive to ensure Kieron Pollard could complete his hundred. This was a full delivery drilled to long-on, Bosch raced to the bowler's end. Throw came to the bowler, who flicked the bails off but Bosch's dive meant the bat was just inside the line in time, much to the delight of the MINY dugout. Nic Pooran shouts "come onnn" as he celebrates the hundred with a double fist pump. This is the 2nd T20 hundred for the legend

Asif Mehmood to Pollard, SIX, Kieron Pollard is now the highest run-getter in T20s, surpassing Chris Gayle. Full and in the slot from round the wicket, Pollard gets under it and muscles it high and handsome over long-off

Jack Edwards to Pollard, SIX, that's a nice hit and even a dive from Jansen isn't good enough - pitched up outside off and Pollard swung through the line - back over the bowler's head and Jansen ran to his left from long-on, leapt one-handed and watches the ball clear him

Saurabh Netravalkar to Corey Anderson, out Caught by Marco Jansen!! MINY continue to fall away like nine pins - the required rate was going noth and Corey Anderson had to do something about that, came down the pitch, got a tad too close to the ball and doesn't get the elevation on the lofted drive, straight down Jansen's throat at deep mid-wicket. He doesn't drop too many and MINY have lost half their side. Corey Anderson c Marco Jansen b Saurabh Netravalkar 11(9) [6s-1]

Jack Edwards to Corey Anderson, SIX, lovely, Anderson makes most of the free-hit - short and at the stumps, he swivels across, gets on top of the bounce and pulls it over deep backward square leg for a maximum

Jack Edwards to Pollard, out Dhillon Run Out!! A and mix-up and Tajinder Dhillon has sacrificed his wicket here - short of a good length and just outside off, Pollard came down the pitch and tried to nurdle it onto the on-side, the ball dropped off his body and rolled to the off-side, was his call for a quick single, but Tajinder Dhillon stalled. Both batters were at the same end as Edwards dashed towards the ball. He collects it and then flicks the bails off, with Dhillion inadvertently crossing his partner. Dhiillon run out (Jack Edwards) 14(11) [4s-1 6s-1]

Glenn Maxwell to Monank Patel, out Caught by Jack Edwards!! Monank has holed outr and Maxwell has struck in the first over - was tossed up on middle and leg - Monank was shaping for a repeat of the previous shot, gets it low off the bat and spoons it towards deep mid-wicket, looked like he hit it against the brezze, the ball hung up in the air and Edwards completes a simple catch, running in from deep mid-wicket. Monank Patel c Jack Edwards b Glenn Maxwell 5(4) [4s-1]

Corbin Bosch to Mitchell Owen, out Caught&Bowled!! Oh taken! Bosch is claiming the catch and Owen is walking off. Some of the MINY players congratulate the outgoing Owen and the incoming batter applauds this sensational effort as well. So the record set by the Universe Boss (175 against Pune Warriors in 2013) for the highest individual score by a player in T20s stays. Mitchell Owen looked all set to easily surpass that record. He had so much time left as well, but Corbin Bosch got this low full toss to dip on the batter. Owen was surprised by the dip as he was looking to drive down the ground and ended up hitting it in the air towards the bowler. Sharp reaction in his followthrough from Corbin Bosch as it came at him. In fact, the ball hit the left arm, into the abdomen and Bosch managed to clutch it with the left arm. Mitchell Owen c and b Corbin Bosch 155(68) [4s-11 6s-13]

Romario Shepherd to Mark Chapman, out Caught by Rushil Ugarkar!! Ohhh Rushil has plucked it off the air and stunned everyone! Mark Chapman looks back at his partner in disbelief and walks off. Even Rushil himself couldn't believe what he pulled off. Wide yorker outside off stump, Chapman reached out and sliced it in the air. Was going for four over short third man, but Rushil decided to time his jump perfect and pluck the apple from the tree with a great leap. Didn't even use his left hand. He took the catch and just stood there. In fact took it beyond his head. Keeper Quinton de Kock had his hand on the head and then covered his face with the glove in shock. Mark Chapman c Rushil Ugarkar b Romario Shepherd 23(12) [4s-3 6s-1]

Corey Anderson to Mitchell Owen, 2 runs, a 41-ball hundred for Mitchell Owen and he's greeted with a huge applause - pucnhes his fists and then removes his helmet, the WF balcony is up in delight as he gets a hug from his partner, has been some brutal hitting. On alength and at the stumps, nurdled with soft hands through mid-wicket and he's back for the second

Nosthush Kenjige to Mitchell Owen, SIX, swatted, slower and wider of off, Owen reaches out and then bottom-hands the shovel over long-on, the fielder can only watch as Owen brings up a 25-ball fifty

Romario Shepherd to Mitchell Owen, SIX, crunched, the slower ball from Shepherd, but it's sat up to be smacked - Owen gets into a great position on the pull and hammers it over mid-wicket

Nosthush Kenjige to Mitchell Owen, SIX, thumped, tossed up just outside off - Owen brings his long levers into play and hammers it back over the bowler's head, right onto the sightscreen for a maximum
