- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.4 Scythed straight to point who juggles a couple of times but manages to hold on. There was a cry of anguish as soon as Head that. Was probably looking to go a little finer, but hit the length ball straight to the Tajinder. 122/29.4 Holes out to long-on. Relief for Anderson and SF Unicorns. Another slowie from Anderson? It certainly didn't come onto the bat. Smith was aiming to go over cover, but loses his shape and ends up miscuing it to Allen at long-on 101/113.5 A direct hit from Tajinder Singh and Ravindra is a goner. Length outside off, Gous pushes straight to point. Ravindra is down in a flash probably too eager to get the strike back. Don't think there was a run there and he is not even in the frame as Tajinder's throw hit bullseye. 155/3Extras8 (lb 1, nb 4, w 3)TOTAL174/3 (15.3 Overs, RR: 11.22)Fall of wickets: 1-101 (Steven Smith, 9.4 ov), 2-122 (Travis Head, 11.4 ov), 3-155 (Rachin Ravindra, 13.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.1 bowled iiiiiiim!. A skidder in line with the stumps. Pitches on a good length and surges through to hit middle stump. Allen thinks because the trajectory is flat, he can rock back and pull, but that's the deception. 0/14.4 edged and taken by Gous! Tye strikes in his first over to dismiss the dangerous Fraser-McGurk. Back of a length and on off, nips away a wee bit, Fraser-McGurk swings hard once again. He can only snick it behind to the keeper as WF pull ahead 45/29.4 The Inglis show ends! He would be livid with himself for not nailing that for another six, but that's how it goes sometimes in T20 cricket. Knee-high full toss outside off stump. He absolutely belts that flat and hard but does not quite get the elevation. Mukhtar at deep cover takes a good catch. He had dropped one earlier, but has made amends 122/39.6 Gone straight up and Tye takes the catch. Two wickets in the over and the tide has turned again. Back of a length on-pace delivery on middle. Rutherford is rushed on the pull, gets a big top-edge that spoons straight up for Tye to take a simple catch reverse-cupped in his follow-through. 122/4Extras3 (lb 2, w 1)TOTAL177/4 (13.4 Overs, RR: 12.95)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Finn Allen, 0.1 ov), 2-45 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 4.4 ov), 3-122 (Josh Inglis, 9.4 ov), 4-122 (Sherfane Rutherford, 9.6 ov)
