    4.4 in the air, and taken! Owen has the last laugh, and Washington Freedom are on the board! Back of a length outside off, bowled with a slightly wobbled seam. Smit throws his hands at it and slices it. The ball flies towards short third, where Pienaar gets into a good position and takes it reverse-cupped in front of his chest, while diving to his right. Owen's rich wicket-taking form continues, although this one has come after being smashed for 16 off the previous three balls! 55/1
    10.5 goes straight up, and Ravindra snares the chance! Owen sticks to that full and wide plan, and it finally pays dividends. du Plessis looks to go downtown, which is perhaps the riskier option as opposed to going inside-out. Cuts across his stroke too much and only gets the height he wants. Ravindra runs back from mid off, settles under the high ball and makes no mistake. Another high-quality knock by the TSK skipper, but this is a massive wicket with more than nine overs still left in the innings! 117/3
    7.1 and Ravindra cleans Mukkamalla up with a corker! Tossed up beautifully on a length just outside leg. The ball drifts in, drops on the batter late and Mukkamalla is nowhere to the pitch of the ball. He then watches in disbelief as the ball spins sharply, past his inside edge and then into the top of middle stump. Dream delivery for a left-arm-spinner, and that has produced a much-needed wicket for Washington! 82/2
    15.1 and Maxwell's decision works a charm for the second night running! Slanted in on a back of a length on middle and leg. Spins in a touch and that cramps Stoinis further. He gets plenty on it and hits it like a bullet towards Phillips, and once Phillips catches it, he cannot believe the power he had to deal with. Either way, that is a vital, vital wicket for Washington, and Stoinis shakes his head in disappointment as he walks off! 159/4
    17.4 miscued a mile up, and Maxwell was never going to drop that! Hard length on middle and leg and this seems to bounce just a little more than the previous ball. Milind top-edges his swipe and the ball swirls towards the mid wicket region. Maxwell hares after it, settles under it and then makes a tricky catch look quite routine. TSK six down now! 184/6
    16.3 acrobatics on the fence, and Mukhtar has pulled off a stunner! Very full outside off and Ferreira thinks this is in the slot to be tonked. Gets a good chunk of it as well but the fullness of the delivery means he cannot get under it fully. Arrows it flat towards Mukhtar at long off, who takes the catch first, only to realize he is stepping over the fence. Flicks the ball up into the air, keeps his eyes on it and then returns to the field of play to complete it. Superb awareness, and even better execution! 170/5

    14.1 holes out to long off, and Owen's party comes to an end! Third time lucky from a TSK point of view too. This is hung up wide outside off, asking Owen to access a different part of the field. He backs himself to clear the fence but because he has to reach out, he plonks it off the bottom of the bat. Milind takes it reverse-cupped with minimal fuss, and that is a big moment in the game! 157/2
    4.3 straight to extra cover, and TSK have something to show for their early pressure! Dug into the track outside off and Ravindra rises with the bounce, trying to carve it over extra cover. Does not get the elevation he wants, though, and he picks out Savage on the edge of the ring. Not the greatest throw-the-ball-up-in-celebration by Savage, with the ball landing beyond the ropes, but TSK will not mind one bit! 38/1

    18.3 Maxwell bites the dust, and this game turns again! Oh my! Full toss on the stumps and on most days, Maxwell would have found the ocean with this. But on this occasion, he cloths it and he cloths it terribly. Stoinis, placed at a very straight mid on in the ring, is there for exactly this sort of miscue and he gobbles up the chance. Maxwell is distraught as he walks off, and TSK might just have a sniff here! 208/3
