Pretoria finish on an underwhelming 125 after starting brightly, with Salt hitting a few out of the park. However, chaos remained the recurring theme of the innings as they never seemed to be in control. SEC kept things nice and simple, earning rewards for a professional display of bowling. Pretoria have largely got themselves to blame for this situation, with as many as three run-outs in the innings and quite a few miscued shots. Neesham and Dadswell stitched a fifty stand, but they couldn't push on and accelerate. Jansen was right on the money from ball one and picked three wickets, while Worral snapped up two. Dawson was superb with his offies. They'll need to bowl out of their skins to take this game deep. I'll be back shortly with SEC's reply

Jansen to Rashid, OUT, man, oh man, it's another sensational piece of fielding which has been the case throughout the innings. Rashid stutters while hurtling down the pitch and is short of his crease! Slices this ball to Dawson at point who hunts it down quickly and pings a sharp throw at non-striker's end, hit's the bull's eye and Rashid has to go.

Jansen to Parnell, OUT, Short of a length slanted across off stump, tries to big downtown and he gets the top edge that balloons up, Worral settles under the skier towards silly mid-off and makes no mistake, took a few steps forward and gobbled it down his throat. Nothing working for Pretoria as their captain departs

Worrall to Rashid, no run, length ball, gets a hint of away seam movement from off, arches out and leans into a cover drive but cannot get it past the fielder

Worrall to Rashid, 1 wide, dishes out a wide outside off, a length ball swaying away from the marker on off

Worrall to Bosch, OUT, spanked high and not entirely mighty! takes the pace off and lands it full outside off, tries to pump him over long-on but didn't get all of it and Jansen snaffled that reverse-cupped a easy as you like, didn't have to move much to catch that, wickets continue to tumble

Worrall to Parnell, 1 run, hammered in and veering away from leg, whisks it to backward point and the fielder rockets a throw at striker's end, direct hit would have been interesting

Swanepoel to Parnell, FOUR, Streaky but they all count! Throws his hands at this shorter wide ball and a thick edge skews away past third man for a boundary, much needed four to break the shackles

Swanepoel to Parnell, no run, scurries in and bands it on a shortish length wide of off, tries to cut but only connects with fresh air

Swanepoel to Bosch, no run, plenty of bowling options to work with. Slings a wide yorker and he can't do much about it and the ball dies down quickly
