3.44pm Welcome back! Junior Dala has the ball.

3.28pm Nelson Mandela Bay Giants reach 168 for 9 in the end, and their innings was powered by Heino Kuhn's fifty. He played sweeps of all sorts to spin and seam alike to keep the score ticking over, and seemed to have set a platform with Christiaan Jonker. But Paarl Rocks finished very well with the ball, taking six wickets and conceding just 28 in the last five overs. Wiese was effective throughout, but the wickets were shared around. One concern for Rocks was their catching - they put several chances down, and their target is higher than it could have been. Join us in a few minutes for the second innings.

Paterson to Morris, 2 runs, OUT, excellent finish to the over from Paterson, and Morris can't get underneath a very full ball outside off, driving to long off. They chance a third, but Dala is easily run out

CJ Dala run out 0 (3m 0b 0x4 0x6) SR: -

Paterson to Morris, no run, slower bouncer, and Morris is much too early into his pull, bottom-edging the ball to his own feet

Paterson to Morris, 1 wide, oh dear, Paterson sends this one too far outside off and it's called wide. Possibly a harsh call

Paterson to Morris, FOUR, a cheeky paddle to fine leg! Morris walked across and paddled a low full toss up and over short fine leg. Nicely played
19.3
W
Paterson to Phangiso, OUT, easily run out. It's not runs, but wickets that we're seeing at the moment. Phangiso hit a full toss straight back at the bowler but he had to go, trying to get Morris back on strike. Paterson collected the ball, turned and threw down the stumps with Phangiso miles out

AM Phangiso run out 0 (1m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Ramble: "Seen some big sixes here over the years, a monster that Justin Kemp hit off Shane Bond sticking in the memory in particular, but never seen two go over the stand where the band sits in one innings! Tough time to be a bowler." They were massive hits, weren't they? Giants could do with one or two more

Paterson to Phangiso, no run, pushed through wide outside off, Phangiso flashing at it and missing
19.1

Paterson to Magala, OUT, yorked him! Paterson's yorkers have been excellent, and this one is no different. Right in the blockhole and Magala can't get his bat down quickly enough

SSB Magala b Paterson 2 (6m 4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

One over to go, and Giants will have their eye on 175. Paterson will bowl it

Wiese to Morris, 1 run, Morris backs away again, but this time Wiese follows him and it's just a single to long on
18.3

Wiese to Morris, SIX, slapped over extra cover! This will help Giants' cause. Wiese dug in a slow bouncer but Morris backed away, waited for it, and thumped the ball over the offside field
18.2

Wiese to Morris, no run, very nicely bowled, right in the blockhole, and Morris can do nothing with it

Kapil: "Reckon Giants already have 20 more for this wicket unless they drop the same number of chances PAARL did. 130 looks enough considering Tahir and Phangiso are going to bowl 8 out of 20"

Paterson to Morris, 1 wide, ah, that's not quite as well bowled. Paterson slips one way outside off stump to concede an extra

Paterson to Morris, no run, wonderfully bowled! Paterson fires in a pinpoint yorker, and the best Morris can do is dig it out back to him
17.4
1
Paterson to Magala, 1 run, slower ball from Paterson, and it's right up to the stumps. Magala digs it out to get off the mark

These wickets are really stalling Giants' charge. Moments ago they were 140 for 3!

Paterson to Second, OUT, leg stump is pegged back! Second walked across his stumps, looking to glance, but Paterson aimed in a full, fast one at the base of leg stump

Shamsi to Kuhn, OUT, big appeal, and he's gone! Shamsi fizzes one down full and straight as Kuhn set himself for yet another reverse sweep. The ball spun back in to him to beat the shot, striking him in front of the stumps. The umpire raises the finger, and Shamsi whips his boot off to dial in his trademark boot-phone celebration
