The final scorecard for first innings was :
Score: 186
Wickets : 6
Overs : 20.0

So after the end of first innings over here, Vatican Victors have posted 186 for the loss of 6 wickets in their alloted 20 overs. Its a very good score but with this pitch being really good for batting, the Victors would have to bowl brilliantly to restrict the Beijing Blitzers under 186. So we will take a short commercial break and when we return we will have live action of the second innings.
