Super Giants managed to pull things back at the death and picked up wickets in a cluster, preventing the score from going well above 200. Reece Topley bowled a maiden penultimate over, and Junior Dala was spot-on with his change-up deliveries. No substantial contribution from the lower-middle order. Will Jacks was magnificent at the top and lit up the ground with his swashbuckling stroke-play, which is the reason they got 204 on the board. It was a century of high class; his innings was laced with nine sixes and eight fours. Colin Ingram added 43 off 23, but there's not much else to speak about in the batting. I'll be back soon with the chase

Chris: "Double wicket maiden 19th over. You don't see that very often. He's a special talent Topley if he can stay fit. Him and Jofra would've been brutal go face if they'd held up better "

Topley to E Bosch, no run, Massive appeal for caught behind! No response from the umpire. referred upstairs. Could it be a three-wicket maiden?

Sonny: "Will Jacks punching his ticket to T20 WC with one innings. A top order of Buttler, Jacks and Salt looks terrifying on paper"

Topley to Ingram, 2 runs, Pace off creating an element of doubt. Fuller length outside off, not a lot of oomph behind the shot, lands in the peninsula between deep cover and long off. Time for reassessing strategy as we head into a strategic timeout
