Hendricks chats after the innings: "Another great knock from Faf... It is two-paced, and slightly slow. It assisted the spinners as well."

3.08pm From 119 for 0 to 152 for 6 at one stage, Super Kings lose steam, as their batting lost way around du Plessis' 92. His opening partner Hendricks made 40 while playing anchor, but no one else got into double figures. It looked like the pitch slowed down with time - no doubt Super Kings were headed for around 170-180 in the 15th over - as the cutters and change of pace came into play. Join Ekanth for the chase, as Eastern Cape look to finish the season with a win.

Jansen to Makhanya, FOUR, They touch 160 at least! It's like a Pant-like - but right-handed - scoop, but four still. Fullish around off, as he lost balance while trying to slam that away. He fell over, but the ball ended on the fine-leg fence

Magala to du Plessis, OUT, finds long-off, and falls for 92! The wheels have all but come off for Super Kings in the last few overs. That went flat and fast to the fielder, who took it in front of his head. Fullish and a bit wide of off, as du Plessis went lashing at it with a flat bat. Instead, the ball landed right where the fielder stood

Magala to Shepherd, OUT, taken by point! The ball took off from Shepherd's top edge, and the fielder from point just moved a few steps to his right to take it reverse cupped. It was a short ball, which rose well off the pitch, as he pulled, but there looked to be some extra bounce there. Another wicket falls, with more pressure on du Plessis

Jansen to du Plessis, no run, ah, he shouldered arms to that incoming and fullish ball, but it ended up hitting the outside half of his front pad

Afeef: "Steve Smith scored centuries in back-to-back innings last month, and Rilee Rossouw also did it a few months ago. Come on, Faf."

Jansen to du Plooy, OUT, and taken by long-off, just after Markram put himself there! A cutter from Jansen, as he bowls full and a bit wide of off. du Plooy, hanging back deep in the crease, slices that slightly away from his body, with the ball ballooning to the fielder, with the bat face opening. Super Kings losing their way quickly here
