Simon Harmer: If you'd given us 160 at the start, we'd have taken it. Boys bowled nicely, especially Ottneil in the last over. I got hurt in PE by two of the boys I got out today. Taking wickets, stopping them in the middle was fun. Won't say there was any favourites. We felt 170 was par, it didn't play as well as we expected. With it being under cover, we felt it could better. Hope that's the case. Boys have been batting well. If we can chase this down, it's be big.

3pm DSG hit par thanks a to a whirlwind six-hitting sesh from Mulder and a few biggies from Klaassen. Harmer was the pick of the bowlers, he ripped out the heart of the batting line-up with skilful bowling with splashes of wit. Breetzke, who got a good start, was out lbw, Stoinis struggled against him and Klaassen's wicket felt like it'd reduce the score significantly but Jansen missed his spot in the penultimate over and Mulder made full use of the error. Can the visitors chase the score down? Find out in a bit.

Vasumathy : "The predictability of Jansen has ensured that Eastern Cape are chasing 25 more than what it looked like !!!"
