    18.5 Miscued one and gets holed out to deep midwicket, was a low full-toss on middle, rare mistimed shot from his bat and he has to go but take a bow, what a fine innings. He has been a model of consistency this season and made the headlines. 135/6
    3.2 Tries some improvisation and it doesn't come off, that shot paid rich dividends in the last game but this time he moved too far across to ramp and gave a regulation catch to Ali Khan behind square, just couldn't time it well enough. That is a vital scalp because he can be a dangerous customer, looked in ominous touch in the last game but an early departure today, only two from nine, been a struggle, credit to SO for keeping it tight and Dry has been accurate in his first two balls. 24/1
    3.6 de Kock's struggles continues, flicks a length ball at middle towards mid-on and tries to scamper through a run, fielder takes an aim and hits the bull's eye and de Kock didn't put a full-length dive, a casual attempt to be fair, not so bright running between the wickets, SO in a dicey situation in the power-play, they need their big guns to step up. Narine was the fielder, superb fielding 26/2
    11.6 Round the wicket, firing it in at the stumps, he got behind the line and lashes it down very straight, Narine got his fingertips on the ball and Klassen was standing outside his crease, tried to slide his bat in but it might have been in the air, third umpire is taking his time and looking at it from different camera angles. Well, it does brush the fingers and the bat was in the air so it's an unfortunate way to get out, that is a massive breakthrough. It was time for Klassen to accelerate but he has to go. Looks disconsolate and is taking the long walk back to the pavilion. A real bonus wicket for LAKR 90/3
    15.4 Bullseye, through his defence, loaded up for a full-blooded slog sweep and the ball went under his bat, he was swinging frantically not really accounting for the turn and low bounce, gets nothing on it and the ball thuds the middle stumps as Narine celebrates with a fist-pump. So hard to dominate Narine, so clever and adroit with his wily spinning methods 113/4
    17.3 Stumps shattered, zingers are alight. Hangs on the back foot and tries to pull that over deep midwicket. Round the wicket angle doing wonders for him, jagged back in quite sharply and he got beaten by the pace and that difficult, couldn't negotiate it and has to go after a brief stay 121/5

    9.5 Fuller and turning away from off, tries to spank it away over backward point but gets the outside edge and Rickelton takes a cool and calm catch over his head, reverse-cupping it, puff of dust came off as the ball landed and spun quite markedly. SO have got an opening, can they swing the pendulum in their favor with a couple more wickets in quick succession? 71/2
    2.2 Rip through the stumps! That's exactly what SO require, wickets will make it a spicy affair. Cross-seam devilish delivery on slightly shorter length and it swerves back, beating his wild swing and crashing onto the leg pole, the dreadful death rattle means he has to leave the crease. 13/1
    16.4 Puts on the dancing shoes and looks to put him into the stands, that ball hung in the air for a long while before finding a nest in Rickelton's hands at long-on; he is safe as a house anywhere in the field. This is the wicket SO were after and it's a turning point, maybe a little late but they can create panic if they continue to pick wickets. An excellent knock comes to an end although he must be admonishing himself for not being able to finish 120/5
    11.1 Huge cry of caaaaaaatccch iiiitttttt and Harmeet has listened him, takes a sprawling smart catch at deep square, inches inside the rope. Back of a length on middle, went for a massive pull and got the height but just not enough distance, shake of the had as he slowly walks back to the hut. Huge wicket, SO are in the mood for a fight 83/3
    13.5 Gannon has the last laugh, what a riposte. Bouncer shoots up quickly, tries to pull it away and ends up getting an edge that ballooned up, de Kock didn't have to move a muscle to gobble that up. SO still in the hunt 105/4

    18.5 Wanted to finish it in style but instead got caught at deep midwicket as Aaron Janes took a phenomenal catch inches inside the rope, it was in the slot - a length ball directed at the stumps - and he went for a wallop but just got more elevation and also it didn't quite come off the middle, he wanted to finish the game so badly on his own. Russell can't believe what he has done 140/6
