7.10pm: It was a one-hander by the fellow in the crowd, too, so he'll be in line for some sponsor's goodies. And while DSG fell away badly through the second half of the innings, managing 67 for 7 from 10 overs, they will feel that is a decent total, fired by Matthew Breetzke's belligerence at the top of the order. Back for the chase in 10

Here's a quick word with Senuran Muthusamy at halfway: "Think it worked out, I bowled to the slightly longer boundary. Vary it a bit and make it hard for the batters to hit. I was thinking 160, as the ball got softer it got harder to bat. Hopefully it will skid on. There for the batters to win us the game."

Parnell to Naveen-ul-Haq, SIX, smoked onto the grass banks! The innings finishes with a crowd catch! Durban goes bananas as Naveen finishes the innings for the home side in style with a roundhouse honk over deep midwicket

Parnell to Naveen-ul-Haq, FOUR, short and walloped through backward square leg! Big ole heave-ho from the No. 11 and it bounces away for four
19.4
0
Parnell to Naveen-ul-Haq, no run, gets front on and attempts to ramp it! Naveen fails to connect and then stands still with a grimace on his face, rather than try to run a bye to the keeper!

Naveen-ul-Haq is last man

Parnell to Noor Ahmad, OUT, clubbed to long-on, gone first ball! Parnell hits a length, Noor swings rustily across the line and it's a straightforward catch for Ackermann running in. Not the greatest thinking from the No. 10, as it leaves Smuts stranded at the non-striker's end

Noor Ahmad c Ackermann b Parnell 0 (2m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Noor to face his first ball

Parnell to Smuts, 1 leg bye, shortish on the body but this time Smuts misses swinging across the line. They run a leg bye off the body

Parnell to Smuts, FOUR, short and munched! Backs away and then creams a flat full through deep midwicket

Noor Ahmed is in, Smuts on strike for the last over

Dupavillon to Dala, OUT, dug in, smoked leg side... picks out the fielder! Dala connected pretty well but didn't have enough on it to clear the man back, safely pouched by Ingram on the rope at deep square leg. Third of the night for Dupavillon

Dupavillon to Maharaj, OUT, short ball, plopped back into the hands of the bowler! Maharaj is hurried on the pull and the ball loops softly up into the leg side for Dupavillon to claim a comfortable catch. Capitals continue to finish well after DSG's flying start

Muthusamy to Smuts, 1 run, smeared down the ground by Smuts, but the fielding at long-on keeps them to one
17.3
1
Muthusamy to Maharaj, 1 run, uses the feet, jammed down to long-on. Salt appeals for lbw, thinking it was pad first... but Parnell doesn't go to the DRS this time. He was a decent way out of his ground when contact was made

Muthusamy to Maharaj, 1 wide, pushed down the leg side

Muthusamy to Maharaj, no run, darted outside off, Maharaj skips down and squirts a drive to backward point

Muthusamy to Maharaj, no run, struck on the pads playing back, the bowler bellows an appeal! Maybe sliding down...? Parnell reviews at the last moment. No bat involved, Mahraraj was right back on his stumps - but it's umpire's call on hitting leg stump!

Three overs left, Muthusamy to bowl one of them
