Netravalkar and Maxwell bowled superbly, while Justin Dill took three wickets that pegged MINY back and shifted the momentum. Late fireworks from Rashid Khan have given them a respectable total. WF will not be pleased with how the last five overs went as they'd feel they let them off the hook but the conditions got better as the innings went on. It will be an interesting chase as the Australian trio will make it tough for the bowlers. I'll be back shortly with the start of the chase

Netravalkar to Kenjige, FOUR, Short of a length, nipping away a fraction from off, he transfers his weight onto back leg, goes across and pulverizes him over midwicket for a one-bounce over, finishes the over and the innings on a high. What a tremendous fight from the lower-order because at one stage it looked as if they won't cross 130 but a gritty show from the lower order allowed them to cross the 150-mark and now this looks a pretty good total given the quality of the bowling that MINY possess
Sam: "Rashid giving Jansen a taste of his medicine throwback to SA20 last year or 2 years ago!"

Netravalkar to Ehsan Adil, 1 run, Hits the deck and darts away from middle, plinked out over the bowler's head and made an ugly sound, trying to scamper back for a brace

Netravalkar to Nortje, OUT, Hits an awkward length and nibbles it away from middle, he clears his front leg and tries to club that over midwicket, gets the outer-half of the bat and spoons it straight to Smith who takes a simple catch

4
Netravalkar to Nortje, FOUR, Good length and angled across off, Nortje plays an outstanding shot, knew he took off the pace so he waited patiently on the backfoot and had enough room to swipe it down to long-on for a four, another vital boundary. Timing was sweet.

Netravalkar to Kenjige, 1 run, Fraction short and swerving away from off, slices it behind point

W
Netravalkar to Rashid Khan, OUT, Chopped on! Netravalkar does the needful, tempts him with a length wide of off, he slashes at it hard and the ball ricochets off the bat onto the stumps, think he has done his job. MINY were in a precarious situation but this spellbinding cameo from Rashid have given them a good total, still five deliveries to go, every run counts and will be crucial in another low-scoring affair

Ferguson to Nortje, no run, Closes the over well, bowls it fuller at the stumps, he forces it down to mid-off and won't take the run
18.5
0
Ferguson to Nortje, no run, Ouch, that is a nasty throat ball, spiteful bumper that followed him as moved leg-side to hook it away and also crouched a bit, hits him hard on the helmet and there'll be a concussion check, Ferguson checking up on Nortje and they fist bump, good sign, Nortje looks okay to continue
18.4
4
Ferguson to Nortje, FOUR, That is too full and deserved to be punished, clubs it away past extra cover for a four, short boundaries, erred in his length and Nortje capitalized on the opportunity, another big over!
18.3
6
Ferguson to Nortje, SIX, It's a bigee! Short and just outside off with little or no seam movement off the deck, he stood tall, bat was in the air, somehow manages to play it up and over third for a six, it carried all the way, that is a ridiculous shot

Ferguson to Nortje, no run, Spears in a supernova on back of a length just outside off, tries to cut

Ferguson to Nortje, no run, Can't get under the steepler aimed at his body, mistimed the pull towards short mid-on, can't put Rashid back on strike

Jansen to Rashid Khan, FOUR, Expensive over, shortish and outside off, he stands front-on and absolutely butchered it past mid-off for a four, what an over it turned out for MINY, 23 off the over, Jansen looks out of sorts, has he recovered from the WC final setback? Rashid is getting in great positions to hit these shots

Jansen to Rashid Khan, no run, Short of a length, angling across off, wanted to thrash that past point and got beaten by the slowness of the delivery
17.4
6
Jansen to Rashid Khan, SIX, Carted over deep square's left for another six, it's raining sixes at the moment, that is exactly what the doctor prescribed for MINY! Effortless flick and it goes all the way
17.3
6
Jansen to Rashid Khan, SIX, Skedaddles down the track and thumps it over long-on for another six, Rashid Khan is on fire! Out of the sweet spot. Clubbed for six to give the crowd something to cheer about. Amazing hitting. Stepped to the leg side, ahead in terms of thinking and muscling it down the ground
17.2
6
Jansen to Rashid Khan, SIX, Oh, that sounded really good! Picked the bones out of that, pumps it over deep midwicket and it goes over the fence, lusty blow! He has got fast hands, it was short around the line off but he was in a great position to play the pull

Dill to Nortje, no run, Sends one outside off and it arced away a wee bit, away from his swinging blade, Dill might have conceded some extra runs but has provided WF with key breakthroughs

Dill to Boult, OUT, Gottim with his unerring accuracy! Bowls short at a good pace drawing an outside edge that nestles in keeper's gloves, wanted to go big again and shimmied to the leg-side but it's too good for thee

Dill to Rashid Khan, 1 run, That's gone high in the air but lands safely much to the delight of Rashid Khan, sharp hard length delivery at his body, goes back and tries to pull, ball lands close to him and keeper can't get underneath it, neither can Dill, ball lands between them

Dill to Boult, 1 run, Back of a length at middle, following him as he backs away, glides it down towards point and rushes to the other end
