- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.1 gets on top of the bounce and slashes it to point where Amla gets down to his right and snaffles it 99/116.1 full, nips away outside off, reaches out and slaps it off the toe-end to deep extra cover. Has he overstepped? Nope, just fine 176/219.4 chest-high short ball, slices it in the air.. not much elevation and Abbott settles under it on the follow-through 226/3Extras8 (lb 5, w 3)TOTAL230/3 (20 Overs, RR: 11.5)Fall of wickets: 1-99 (Ryan Rickelton, 10.1 ov), 2-176 (Rassie van der Dussen, 16.1 ov), 3-226 (Dan Christian, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 edged and taken this time. Once again was a length ball outside off, Amla pushes at it, no feet all hands, gets an outside edge and Hendricks takes a regulation catch at first slip 4/112.4 almost a yorker and van Wyk just chips it to extra cover, a dolly for van Biljon, who goes low and takes it reverse cups 123/70.5 what a brilliant catch. Full and wide, Maharaj slices it towards point where the fielder takes a low diving catch to his left. The umpires want to check it though, the soft signal is out. The doubt is if he hit it on the full and the ball bounced just after the impact. No! Replays show Maharaj sliced it up after the ball pitched 4/21 and he's bowled him, full almost a yorker at off stumps, sneaks under Klaasen's bat to peg the middle stump back. Rabada is on a hat-trick! 4/36.1 and gets a wicket first ball, length ball outside off, Miller goes for the cut but it was too close to cut, Miller couldn't keep it down and Hendricks at point takes an easy catch, you cannot keep him out of the game tonight 67/49 a high full toss, Zondo looks to pull it away, gets an inside edge and the stumps are rattled. Was it too high, the umpires don't think so and Heat lose their fifth wicket 93/59.3 length ball, around off stump, Morkel looks to go big over midwicket, misses and the ball keeps coming in with the angle and pegs the off stump back 96/615.2 slower one, shortens his length as well, Philander was looking to swing it towards midwicket, misses and the off stump is out of the ground 150/816.4 another wild swing and this time it carries all the way to third man, was full outside off and Abbott was once again targeting long-off, Olivier settles under and takes it comfortably. Best T20 figures for Rabada - 4 for 28 164/918.1 full and straight, Bokako backs away and looks to hit it down the ground, he misses and Olivier hits 177/10Extras6 (lb 3, w 3)TOTAL177 all out (18.1 Overs, RR: 9.74)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Hashim Amla, 0.3 ov), 2-4 (Keshav Maharaj, 0.5 ov), 3-4 (Heinrich Klaasen, 0.6 ov), 4-67 (David Miller, 6.1 ov), 5-93 (Khaya Zondo, 8.6 ov), 6-96 (Albie Morkel, 9.3 ov), 7-123 (Morne van Wyk, 12.4 ov), 8-150 (Vernon Philander, 15.2 ov), 9-164 (Kyle Abbott, 16.4 ov), 10-177 (Tladi Bokako, 18.1 ov)
