- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.1 What a stunning start from Orcas! They have got the big fish right on the first delivery! Tosses up an arm ball outside off, spinning away and he flashes hard, Parnell pouches it safely at cover. 0/14.3 Crackerjack! Brilliant slower one. 106kph teasing delivery absolutely puzzles du Plessis who jams his bat down but doesn't account for the inward movement and the slowness, goes past his bat and rearranges his stumps! This is a massive breakthrough! 36/25.2 Another one bites the dust! TSK innings in absolute disarray; third wicket down! Round the wicket, hits the deck hard and gets the ball to bounce steeply off the deck, it was a cutter. He was not in a good position to play the paddle and ends up giving a easy catch to Imad Wasim at short fine who reverse cups it, a nifty catch 40/37.1 Gottim with a beauty! Parnell is on fire! Beautiful seam position, pitches on a length and jags back just enough to beat his drive; pings the top of off and the bails are flying everywhere. Incision! This is turning out to be a great bowling spell, captain leading from the front 45/47.4 Are you kidding me? Nauman Anwar plucks a stunning catch out of thin air at square leg but wait, the umpires want to take another look at it. This was pitched short and angled into the body, he went for the full-blooded pull but didn't get the elevation and wasn't really under-controlled. The catch looks okay to me on the replay and Aleem Dar agrees; OUT on the big screen and he has to go back into the hut! He was charging in from deep and dived forward to gobble it up. Kept his eyes on the ball and judged the catch impeccably 46/58.5 Wickets continue to tumble! Dug into the pitch and it kicks off the deck, lures him to go for the big shot and he goes for the pull, top edge fountained up as keeper settles underneath and hangs onto it brilliantly. His ebullience only lasts for five deliveries. Swung big but didn't control his bat and de Kock had plenty of time to track the ball which safely nestles in his glove. Third umpire checked if it was a no ball, well his foot landed before sliding past the popping crease so it's a legitimate delivery 48/619.3 That went miles up in the air and then into Harmeet's bucket hands. Back of the hand slower one and Bravo tries to muscle a pull but mistimes it. 126/816.2 Launches the ball high into the sky and Harmeet pockets the catch low down at deep square. He was not on top of the bounce and miscued it completely 104/719.6 Rams the yorker right in the blockhole and follows the batter who was stepping away to the leg side, jammed back to the bowler; race between Parnell and Mohsin and Parnell outruns him and his throw hit the stumps as he slides the bat down. Parnell finishes an incredible spell, picks up a fifer and only gave away 20 runs 127/1019.4 Opens the face of the blade ever so slightly and tries to loft it over long-off, ball swirling in the air and Klaasen was circling around trying to keep track of the ball; takes a superb diving catch 126/9Extras8 (lb 3, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL127 all out (20 Overs, RR: 6.35)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Devon Conway, 0.1 ov), 2-36 (Faf du Plessis, 4.3 ov), 3-40 (Cody Chetty, 5.2 ov), 4-45 (David Miller, 7.1 ov), 5-46 (Milind Kumar, 7.4 ov), 6-48 (Mitchell Santner, 8.5 ov), 7-104 (Daniel Sams, 16.2 ov), 8-126 (Dwayne Bravo, 19.3 ov), 9-126 (Zia-ul-Haq, 19.4 ov), 10-127 (Mohammad Mohsin, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR12.4 Soft dismissal! Round the wicket, lots of revs on the ball, back of the hand delivery on a length with a hint of spin, uppishly spooned to Santner at short cover. He was looking in sublime touch but got outfoxed on this occasion 88/210.4 Arm ball does the trick! Lobbed up on a full length, goes for the cut, expecting it to spin away, but it goes on with the arm and clatters the off stump. Just flings the bat out and didn't read the ball. Excellent skill and execution from Santner! Totally befuddled him and a much needed breakthrough 67/1Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL128/2 (16 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-67 (Nauman Anwar, 10.4 ov), 2-88 (Quinton de Kock, 12.4 ov)
